[accessibleimage] Color code

Dear Colleagues,

I've had an idea of how to color code information
for use , say, in adapted graphics.  It is a tool that
I thought could be used there. 
I am writing hoping to get some feed back on this
idea. 
Thanks,
Lisa

Color coding 

This is a way to convey color information
in an graphic where this is desired. 
The idea is to convey information, the idea is not
a way of experiencing color. 
This would be useful where one wants to convey 
information but have a limited amount of area.
The information is language independent. Therefore
one does not need to translate such things.

The idea is that the code uses two Braille cells to convey the 
information. Two variations, 6 point Braille and 8 point Braille.
Each point  in the first cell has a designated color information.
For 6 point Braille the second cell includes black, white, intensity
information and a marker point.
In 8 point  Braille the second cell is just intensity information and a
marker point.
Two  cells are always used. 
In 6 point Braille point 6 of the second cell is always used, as a marker.
In 8 point Braille point 8 of the second cell is always used, as a marker.

The intensity could also be decided from before using 
scales.
 
with 6 point
First cell color primary and secondary color
Point 1 is yellow
point 2 is red
point 3 is blue
point 4 is purple
point 5 is green
point 6 is orange

6 point 
Second cell intensity
point 1 is white
point 2 is black
point 3 is light
point 4 is medium
point 5 is dark
point 6 is a marker, and always used


With 8 point Braille
First cell color primary and secondary

point 1 yellow
point 2 red
point 3 blue
point 4 white
point 5 purple
point 6 green
point 7 orange
point 8 black

8 point Braille
Second cell  intensity (shows grade of intensity, saturation)
point 1 light
point 2 darker 
point 3 more dark
point 4 darker than
point 5 darker than 4
point 6 darker than 5
point 7 darker than 
point 8 marker point

Thanks for reading.
Regards,
Lisa
