You mischaracterized the situation; the baseline for a colorblind audience is legibility, not quality. In other words, you make it so they can see the difference, but not the beauty, which would actually be impossible. Also, there are many different forms of colorblindness which in toto add up to 10%, however, there is not, iirc, one case which the entire colorblind audience would see as one.
Actually, once this was put out in the open, and discussed, I was allowed to sign off on the artwork, and the project was completed successfully.
- ljf 16y agotrue, but colours such as grey and pink together clash horribly for me, where as they seem quite popular in some print advertising at the moment. you might not be able to see how bad they look, but I can ;) I know what you are saying, and again agree that he should have been upfront with you. but as a sign off point in the company I work for I would not sign off something which did not work for me, and would explain why to the designer. I forget which tests I fail, but its all of them except the really rare blue one. its never stopped me producing visually exciting and arresting sites for children (and all as accessible as possible, I work for a public broadcaster) which all ensure contrast levels that work as widely as possible for colour blindness (and are also as accessible as possible for screen readers, users with aspergers etc.).
- ljf 16y agoI should also say that we have an accessiblity document all designs must follow, so anyone working with us will be aware that they need to consider such things before they start. I'll see if I can link to a copy.
