Why can't I just map all reds on the page -- for example -- to a known color that I can recognize? Granted, the color space is smaller, but how many colors are used on a web page typically? If I can't see reds, for example, then maybe I can map reds to a particular shade of blue and other blues to another shade of blue. Or better yet, maybe I could add some sort of text decoration -- an overline maybe -- to any text that was red. Obviously images would be a problem (another blow to text-in-images), but if CSS can override the default colors, why wouldn't this work? And as for mapping colors to colors, if I knew which colors were mapped to which (and it was consistent across pages), then even if a site said something such as "new items are in red," I would know that this particular shade of blue corresponded to red, so I'd still be able to get around it. It might not work 100% of the time, but why wouldn't it work most of the time? Charles F. Munat Seattle, Washington
