Download ADesigner from IBM (its free) (check out my blog, I have the link there). It simulates more than just color blindness. http://www.shayna.com/blog _ From: dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 6:14 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: WTFOT: colorblind colors does anyone know what colors are safe too use for colorblind ppl? _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Re: WTFOT: colorblind colors
Depends on the person. Some fail to see reds, some greens, some blues, some all of the above. The only thing that's guarenteed to be totally safe is black on white. Of course, you can certainly mix whatever colors you want, just make sure that the colors aren't communicating information that can't be found in other ways, because there's not way to be sure that people will see them. A better way to look at it is in terms of greyscale contrast. If you can take a greyscale screenshot of the site, reduce it to 4-8 greys and it's still usable, you should be safe. cheers, barneyb On Fri, 6 Aug 2004 18:13:51 -0400, dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > does anyone know what colors are safe too use for colorblind ppl? > > [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
