[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 7817506, member: 23935"] Many forms of colour blindness are difficult to explain to people. It's not "don't rely on a specific colour" much of the time. It's more "certain shades of colour combined with specific contrasts are indistinguishable from each other". I tend to undersee red for example (it's one of 2 types of red/green colour blindness). So dark reds on a bright background tend to be blackish and light reds on a dark background tend to be grayish. My brain has some software patches (learned differentiation - I "see" redheads on a B/W television, for example) for the hardware limits and so some grays appear either reddish or greenish depending on hue and saturation. Larger patches of colour tend to help allow the colour to bleed through which is why I initially suggested bolding -- it increases the font width and would tend to make the colour more apparent. It also adds a different type of differentiator that that's always helpful regardless of particular disability. [/QUOTE]
