Re: [foxboro] Colour Blind Operators

I am a color blind administrator.  I am red/green color blind, which is the
most common.  My vision sound very similar to Kirk's.

I find that green causes me the most problems.  It can range from brown to
yellow for me.  Green is not a bad choice as long as I don't tell it apart
from yellow.

Blue is the easiest color for me to see.  To me blue is always blue.

Good contrasts realy help me alot.  All my screens are grey with black text.

I hope this insite helps.

Subject: [foxboro] Colour Blind Operators



Does anybody on the list have experience of dealing with operators who have
difficulty discriminating between colours.  On our current project we have a
number of Operators who have difficulty distinguishing between some colours.
Ideally I would like to set up a different palette for each operator which
he could then load a the start of each shift.  
I would be interested to here how others had solved this problem.
