[games_access] Industry feedback wanted: Design patterns

[John Bannick]

Thomas,

I posted this over on the IGDA Web forum.

The most significant effect of color blindness on computer user 
interfaces is a significant reduction in the color spectrum available to 
communicate to the user.

People who are not color blind can distinguish among a greater number of 
colors than people who are color blind.

The BBC published color wheels, along with RGB values, that non color 
blind developers can use to select colors that color blind people can 
distinguish. That is, colors that are sufficiently different to the 
vision of people who are color blind.

BBC removed these color wheels from their Web site in 2008. However, we 
copied them to our Web site, www.7128.com <http://www.7128.com> before 
that. Check out:
http://www.7128.com/resources/resources_color_blind.html

I used these color wheels in an application I built where the client was 
color blind.
