More than 4 percent of all people are colour-blind, most of them red-green-blind. This is why I have tested parts of my site at vischeck.com (only for blindness to red and green). I want to let the none-colour-blind people see the highly interesting results. The test at Vischeck is free. However, it does not work with pages that contain JavaScript or CSS. I do not use CSS, but a few of my pages contain JavaScript. Therefore, here I only show the test-results for my pages that have no JavaScript. The tests are not absolutely reliable (beta-phase), however, they can give quite an important impression! The first and pleasant result for me (at least with regard to the tested pages) was that people who are red-green-blind can actually read the texts on my site. :-) However, it also was quite a bad surprise to me to see what aweful colours parts of my fellow people have to bear on my site! :-( Thanks to the people of Vischeck for offering this free colour-test for websites! |

Now the results: Btw., people who are blind to red and green will notice no or almost no difference between the two columns! Let's start with the Homepage: |
|
||||
|
 |
Well, this IS coloured. |
 |
To be honest, I almost prefer this version! The "original" is too coloured anyway. |
|
|
|
|
Another rather impressing example is the linklist WebDesign: |
|
|||||
|
 |
Variations in mint |
 |
Quite an interesting combination of colours! I should try and use this deliberately. |
|
||
|
Similar to this: the guestbook: |
|
|||||
|
 |
Colours are almost the same as in the example above,... |
 |
... therefore a similar result. |
|
||
|
Another nasty difference, Webcams in Scotland: |
|
|||||
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
||
|
Again a similar example: the list of internet-cafés in Scotland: |
|
|||||
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
||
|
And now the cracker, the old version of the copyright-page: |
|
|||||
|
 |
|
 |
Ain't that terrible? |
|

|

Conclusion: I should more often use the colour blue. It is my favorite colour, anyway. Dear people who are colour-blind, if you find texts on my site hard to read or even not readable at all and if you assume that this may be due to the red-green-problem, please let me know! Links: - free colour-test of your site at Vischeck - English - pboptik.ch - German, contains amongst others some statistic data - webexhibits.org - English, nice example-picture The on top of this page pictured grasshopper has been photographed when sitting on the naked back of my visitor - 2,5 weeks before having been published here *grin* So it obviously knew that I, shortly after that, will desperately be in need of something typically green. I promise, this is the truth! So, always keep a camera ready, who knows, perhaps something will jump around at your place or/and on your visitor that may turn out to be an urgently needed picture shortly afterwards ;-) to top
