The above article tells you how to design for color blind folks, especially men. It was sent to me by my local printer. Depending on your niche, it may be important.

The occurrence of color blindness in men is about 8-10 percent. See: http://www.colour-blindness.com/general/prevalence...

"I see," said the blind man as he walked into the wall. I guess you have heard that one. LOL

P.S. What color is the rabbit? Green? Wrong!

This is definitely something that should be considered. Hey John, any idea what kind of colorblindness your brother-in-law had?

Red, Green, the most common.

I wonder why too! Why do men have this problem more than women. (Sincerely genuine question). Thanks it did make me laugh and needed to.

Hi Kav, it's an inherited genetic defect involving cones which allow us to see color. It's more prevalent in men than in women and differs in severity.
For some who are colorblind, it's difficult to distinguish between red and green and for others their world is like a black and white movie. Hope this answered your question.

It's called a sex-linked trait. Read the second article if you want. John

Wow! Thanks.

I wonder why that is. I know MANY color blind men -- well, at least I think they are based on their clothing choices. LOL.

Darn chromosomes.

People who are color blind, they can not be pilots for airplanes. Sad.

It is a handicap. J

It might be sad when you think about it, but consider the bigger issue of safety when they can't detect what's what because they're not sure what they are seeing. There are other occupations as well in which individuals are tested for it, like electrical technicians.

Very interesting, never even thought to consider that.

Nor I! J

God post interesting facts I liked the fact that Eskimos have fewer people with colour blindness.

Interesting niche. I'm guessing it may be difficult to monetize though!

There is a problem for color blind folks reading web pages. J

A very sweet consideration -- my hubby was colorblind. I used to lay out his shirt and tie each evening for the next day. I'm sure this will be appreciated :-)

It is important. My brother-in-law was color blind. A big nuisance.

Interesting article

I guess it is a factor. J

Interesting. Now that's a specific niche! Thnx for sharing it, John!

True enough but how to explore it? LOL

Maybe from an aesthetic perspective.... "Daltonism: Now that's a horse of a different colour! OR How to see the world differently!"
