[accessibleimage] Re: Color code

Hi Lisa,
I am reading the posts about color coding with great interest.
Communicating non-verbal academic information with the use of color(s) is
something I am currently researching for my master's thesis.
Your code, however, is not independent of language.  Each of the dot
locations in the code that you describe represents a color word, not the
color, and therefore requires translation.

sincerely,
Jimmie Flanagin
