Colorblind Barrier Free
February 11th, 2007
From several sources I received a link to Colorblind Barrier Free, a webpage on making your presentations colorblind-proof. Depending on who you talk to, colorblindness affects 8-15% of the male population (and 2-4% of females). While Colorblind Barrier Free is primarily oriented towards the academic community, it’s surprisingly in-depth and useful for almost any presentation where you’ll be talking about charts, etc.
Ironically, I find the text so small on the site, that it’s a major usability issue.

It’s also worth noting that Vestal has been testing each website we design for colorblindness since the summer of 2005. See our post about the tool we use in this post:
