Thank you!

I gather today 6th September is #ColourBlindness awareness day.

#ColourBlind

So I have gotten hooked on #Foundation . It's an odd show cause it feels like a more serious sci-fi, that's also throwing in action-y bits for presumably broader appeal.

Anyway, there was a scene in mid S1 where the younger Dawn emperor is hunting creatures (sort of 'sci-fi quails') with his older clone, the Dusk emperor. On his first attempt, Dawn is able to kill twice as many as Dusk's current record.

It's later revealed that Dawn is an imperfect clone, and has colourblindness. The implication here is it enabled him to see the 'sci-fi quails' more easily, as camouflage is sometimes more easily discerned by colourblind people.

This is a factoid I've known about since I was a kid, though I've never really tested it.

Anyway, I thought it was an interesting and quite subtle reference.

So this is interesting!

This site allows you to either use a sliding scale or put in hex codes to define colour for both background and text, as well as determine text font size and thickness, and every combination is graded for accessibility for people with #cataracts, #glaucoma, and various kinds of #colourblindness.

You can "see" how that person would see your website.

A fail means that the color combo offers some visual strain and should be avoided if possible.

#accessibility at #comocamp: here is a simulation of what some people with #colourblindness see when you use coloured #stickynotes for #collaborativemodelling
Some of the colours are the same or very similar. See the third image for a set of stickies where the colours are distinguishable or the shape/size is different. You can also use symbols, or cut the sticky like @Steve_Read

1 in 12 men and 1 is 20 women have colour vision deficiency so you cannot rely on colour alone to communicate.

Check out how some #colorblind people see the world around them. #colourblindness #colorblindness

This is perfect. Other than eliminating some careers, #colourblindness is just a stream of petty inconveniences. https://www.theverge.com/23650428/colorblindness-design-ui-accessibility-wordle ( by @andybaio )

Oh joy, one of my least favourite things. A toilet which, if I’m interpreting the signs correctly, shows you if it’s locked with a colour-changing light. #colourblindness
