You can read about it here: http://jfly.iam.u-tokyo.ac.jp/html/color_blind/ It is quite nice that they went to the trouble of showing us "how they see it". And there are plenty of suggestions how to do better. In fact, it turns out that you need not stay away from red and green, but define them somewhat different and it will work better. Ever since I made all my illustrations like this once, I try to do it every time, for any journal, just in case. I consult this page often, it is quite helpful to me. See especially near the bottom of the page "colors unambiguous both to color-blinds and non-color-blinds". Hope this helps you too. Mark -----Original Message----- From: Phoebe A.

(The assignment involved telling me why the a GTP analog (GDPCP) wasn't hydrolyzed). Is there a handy by-atom coloring scheme I can recommend that works for the red-green color blind? thanks, "Professor Rice" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Phoebe A.
