I'd hope we can help him with his opera problem. Subject: SUMMARY: Are you colour-blind? I have developed a site http://www.TessPub.com/colours.html for testing the legibility of background/text combinations. I asked for feedback from colour blind people on how well it works. It seems that many readers of ADV-HTML forwarded my post to other lists. The response has been overwhelming! I have re-written the site half-a dozen times in the last two days in response to feedback. I have been able to improve usability, cross-platform compatibility and technical content. I have also added a couple of links to highly informative resources. But, most important, instead of the slightly daft quality judgements, the site now simulates how the colour choices look to readers with the three different types of colour-blindness. Also, a support group in Spain is now busy translating the site into Spanish. I am still awaiting some good quality feedback from colour-blind people, though. And I'd also like to hear from anyone who can work out why it doesn't work properly in Opera 5.0. BTW, the site is also useful if you just want to check how your colour choice looks on a 256 colour monitor. (I bet very few readers of ADV-HTML have one of those!)
