Hi EOWG folks, Thanks to those who stuck with the discussion last week. It seems we came up with a solid proposal. Now we see how it works for others in different contexts. :-) Proposal: * Avoid “color blind” alone, primarily because it can be misunderstood that people do not see any color. *- When referring to a person, use: “cannot distinguish between certain colors (often called “color blindness”)”. *- When addressing the medical condition, use “color vision deficiency”. Usually do not use an acronym, because it is not widely known. To see how that proposal works in context, see re-wordings at: https://github.com/w3c/low-vision-a11y-tf/discussions/121#discussioncomment-1549295 For other ideas and background, read from the top of that GitHub issue and follow links to 2 Low Vision Task Force (LVTF) and 2 EOWG minutes. ACTION ITEM: Please share your perspective, e.g.: * add your +1 in the GitHub issue * add other ideas in GitHub * ask to bring it back to EOWG for further discussion Thanks, ~Shawn
