Re: [galaxy-dev] Color blindness and Galaxy UI
Peter, most of the current UI theme was designed by someone who is red- green colorblind (me), and we avoid using color alone for encoding information. The change has been reverted, thanks for brining it to our attention. On Jun 5, 2011, at 7:40 AM, Peter Cock wrote: Do you have any color blind developers or users testing Galaxy and any UI changes? Those of you with family members or close colleagues affected by this are probably well aware of the issue. If not, please keep in mind that red-green color blindness is fairly common, and that color alone should not be used to distinguish status changes. ___ Please keep all replies on the list by using reply all in your mail client.

I just got a colorblind tester and #FA for example provides a much better contrast than the current color. (ss attached) That sounds sensible - see what James thinks ;) Peter ___ Please keep all replies on the list by using reply all in your mail client.
