Remember the colorblind
by concerned on Tuesday 22/Nov/2005, @13:46

A color coding based on security is all well and good. However, it does 1/20th of the population no good if it is based on Gree, Red, and Yellow. Make sure that those who can't actually distinguish between two disparate colors can actually determine them in your implementation. Writing the color RED in white above a red background works wonders.

to both of you: read. just read the article and the link(s) in it. this has already been discussed, and adressed. apart from the color indication, there will always be some other form of indication for the visually impaired.
