The Importance of Making a Web Design Bolton for the Colour Blind

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.
