Web Accessibility for the Color Blind
The final post of my Web Accessibility series for now will focus on making your website friendly for those who are color blind.
Most color blind people have red/green deficits. Some have the more rare form (tritanope) which is a blue/yellow deficit. This makes for an interesting challenge given that computer monitors are based on three colors - Red, Green, Blue (RGB).
It almost sounds as if it is impossible to design a website that is accessible for all. That really is not the case. Our graphics design side informs us that high contrast with the right color combinations is very important.
