James Ellis: Explain to me how a blind person would create a gradient using HEX or RGB color values, if a person born blind does not know what a color is because they have never seen one.
Why put a blind person in this position in the first place? Its like asking someone with no arms to learn to drive a car. Whilst it might just be possible with some high end assistive devices, it is not practical for that person to become a lorry driver now is it? And i also said a blind person can create graphics, but only at a certain level. Good luck to you though Marvin, at least your getting on with life.
