Color Blindness -
Web Design Resources

Models for simulating the severe forms of color blindness are well developed. Not so for the milder and much more common types of colorblindness, the so-called anomalous deficiencies. These are tougher to model because they vary on an individual basis and can actually change over time. This is a far more common condition than any type of complete color blindness. Most of these resources focus on modeling...

Web Design 2020 A.D.

The WebSite of the future is already here. WebSites are like clothes. Consumers and web designers need to realize that. I don’t know about you, but I don’t get my clothes from a tailor. Tailor made clothes are for rich people. I buy my clothes off the rack. I don’t have a problem with that, either. It’s easy, I have a choice of prices, they’re easy to maintain (I can’t...

Color Blindness & Leprosy?

While looking for technical definitions describing the different types of color blindness, I encountered this information. I copied the following section verbatim because it was so well stated and I was intrigued by the link to leprosy. The statement isn’t, “And, oh, by the way, more lepers have Red/Green color blindness than the population in general.” No. It is that having Re/Green...

Time To Change Colors, Or Not

A buddy of mine told me my blog looked dull. I thought about this for a moment and asked him if it was gray and brown. He said, “Yes.” What he sees is the way my blog looks in the picture below. Interesting, eh? I have to run off to Venice Beach right now (I think I just invented the “Blitter”) but I will come up with a new color scheme after I get back. I may go with some...

They warn that the average internet user may not have the newer equipment techies have. That may be. But, it is also October of 2009 and this has been a big year for monitor upgrades.
