Can you distinguish the colours displayed on this
page? Ask a friend to help you out; are you naming the colours you see
correctly? If you are colour blind chances are that you might not be able to
tell. Statistics claim that 8 to 12% of all European males have to cope with
colour blindness in one form or the next. For these people the colours
displayed on this page may be impossible to distinguish. Basically, colour
blindness is the inability to distinguish between red and green. The following
text elaborates in the changes that can be made in web design Bolton to facilitate the colour
blind.
Making your Page Colour Blind Friendly:-
Here are some ideas that make your pages more
appealing to the colour blind:-
-
Don’t use colour to highlight something important on your page. For
example, if you have used red colour to place emphasis on important fields on a
registration form then chances are that someone who is colour blind might not
be able to distinguish it. On the other hand, you should complement this change
in colour with some other indicators such as text or an image.
-
Make sure that your web design Bolton does not place red and green
items together especially items such as navigation buttons. Such objects may
blend into the background making it very difficult to distinguish.
-
Have someone who is colour blind review your website. They will be able
to highlight portions of your web design Bolton that they found difficult to
understand.
