Gray's Colors of Skull Anatomy

A series of vertebrate skulls with a consistent color scheme. When applied, the color scheme is designed to be color-blind friendly and for easy differentiation between elements. Skulls were segmented from CT scans using various 3D processing software (Avizo, VG Studio, and 3D Slicer. See individual models for details) and edited/colored using Blender.
