Hi,

There are several soltuions which will allow you to move the mouse over
an object and the colour status of the object will be displayed on an
icon on the system tray or on the screen.  These are really cheap
(compairred to a screen reader proper), and should be relatively easily
available.

Subject: [access-uk] Colour Blindness and PCs

Dear listers,

A colleague of mine at work is colour blind. A screen reader like
Window-eyes would not really be appropriate for her to use.

She was telling me today that on some applications she really needs to
know what colour a field on the screen is , but cannot discriminate
differences in some cases.

Does anyone know how this could be handled?

Thanks in advance.


 
Regards, John.
