Hello, Yesterday at the AccessibleWeb@U meeting (a monthly event at the University of Washington) Matt McMahon,Senior Fellow in the Department of Biological Structure presented "Web Design for Color Blind Users." Notes from that meeting are available at: http://www.washington.edu/computing/accessible/accessibleweb/aw010804.txt (Scribe = Rick Ells). A "Set of colors that is unambiguous both to colorblinds and non-colorblinds" is referenced [1]. Where the Brewer Palette is a palette of acceptable color combinations, this palette identifies colors that they claim are "unambiguous both to colorblinds and non-colorblinds." Further, they recommend "When combining colors from this pallet, - Use 'warm' and 'cool' colors alternatively. - When using two warm colors or two cool colors, put distinct differences in brightness or saturation. - Avoid combination of colors with low saturation or low brightness." I would like to see a comparison of this palette to the Brewer Palette, if someone is willing to make the comparison. --wendy [1] <http://jfly.iam.u-tokyo.ac.jp/html/color_blind/#pallet> -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI/ /--
