French voters returned to the polls on Sunday, July 7, to elect a new Assemblée Nationale and determine who will be in a position to govern France. See how many seats each party won and the district-by-district map.
Clearly there are just 4 colors on the map, maybe you’re color blind.
<Checks legend> Maybe I’m color blind too?
For real tho, these are the worst color choices the website could have picked. My only assumption is that these are the party colors, made back in the day when only 1 color existed.
Purple and light purple are “NFP (left)” and “not NFP (left)”. Socialists are traditionally red.
The two blues are “LR (right)” and “not LR (right)”. Liberals are traditionally blue.
Yellow are center-right neolibs.
The independent left/right seats don’t matter much because they will vote predictably with their political side on most issues, so since this will be a coalition Parliament there is not much point in outlining individual party affiliation (anyways the NFP is already a coalition of several parties).

It makes some sense contextually.
