A Story from long ago In the early 70's I had another life as a Television Engineer. On one of the 1st Bush (a defunct British TV Manufacturer) Colour Television Course we were taught about colour blindness. We were told that colour blind people of a particular type could be helped by adjusting the levels of RGB. Later I had to install a Colour Television at an old Ladies house, where she informed me that she was colour blind, so I set about adjusting the RGB and finally she said that the picture was as near what she saw normally and she was very happy with the TV. When I got back to base, I was met by the Boss who said what had I done with the Ladies TV as the Neighbours were complaining about the picture and had commented whether the engineer knew his job. I cured the problem by printing a sign for her to hang on the TV which said "I'm Colour Blind and my Picture is perfect for me.
The problems being encountered are interesting to me, as A previous thread when I said about the "Health and Safety" Police and having to make the fonts enlargeable for employees with poor eye sight. I wonder how long before one of my clients employees is colour blind. I wonder Jeff what you make of the Office 2007 and 2010 themes. My Ribbon and forms use 6, Blue, Black, Aqua, Silver, Office 2010 and Windows 7.

It actually hurts my eyes when I try to focus on bright red next to bright blue. My eyes just can't do it. I always try to use subtle colors when shading rows but enough to be able to distinguish.
