Colour vs non-colour is a good start, but the icons must have different shapes because not only is colour/non-colour crappy for accessiblilty, even non-disabled people will have to look more closely, as the human brain is good at shape distinction. This is why most of the icons are distinctinctly differently shapes. Corey -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
