Testing for Colour Blindness
The percentage of the population suffering from colour blindness varies
depending on location and race, but it can be significant (4 - 10%). While
some suffer from total color blindness (seeing in only shades of gray), this
is rare. Most of those who are colour blind have difficulty distinguishing
red from green. Some small percentage cannot distinguish blue from yellow.
We test our sites using colour-blindness filters to confirm that this
percentage of the population is not exluded from those sites.
