I use colors quite a bit in my programs: The black indicator boxes across the top can be any of the colors of the colored buttons on the left side of the form: http://www.passcal.nmt.edu/~bob/unlinked/images/root.tiff
If the text is colored it is always on a black background. If the text background is white then the foreground is always black: http://www.passcal.nmt.edu/~bob/unlinked/images/et.tiff http://www.passcal.nmt.edu/~bob/unlinked/images/text.tiff http://www.passcal.nmt.edu/~bob/unlinked/images/plot.tiff Probably wouldn't try to remap all of these colors (there's 20 possibilities): http://www.passcal.nmt.edu/~bob/unlinked/images/batt.tiff http://www.passcal.nmt.edu/~bob/unlinked/images/green.jpg I got to thinking about what should be done to make things better for color blind people. I poked around a bit online, but the range of info went from mathematical formulas to come up with the right colors to use to some guys that were color blind saying don't bother doing anything. For my stuff it would be pretty simple to, for example, change all red things to yellow, or all blue things to magenta, or whatever, but I can't find any info on exactly what would be good to do (I'm talking major, big picture, catch the greatest number of people stuff while knowing the level of color blindness is infinitely variable). I just have a 'Clr' dictionary at the beginning of each program with entries like "C":"cyan", "R":"red", etc. which could be remapped in a jiffy for each type of user-selectable color blindness (the 2 or 3 major ones). Anybody know of a good source of info, or does this not even make sense to worry about? Thanks!
