Re: Colours and Colour Blindness

For all the "normally-sighted" people on the list, here's a really good 
example of a page that uses red and green to distinguish items.

http://centricle.com/ref/css/filters/

I understand that the "Y" is green and the "N" red, and that the 
difference is quite clear to most people. I'm red/green colour-blind and 
find it almost impossilbe to tell a difference - with a good 19" monitor 
in good light.

This is the best example I've come across of a "genuine", as opposed to 
"test-case", page where the use of colour makes a huge difference to the 
usability of the page for me.

In all seriousness, I think it should be left exactly as is as a good 
example!
