Right, well, I was actually trying to get the rating cubes to stand out a
little. :)

Because there isn't any additional info layer, you're right of course. The
colorblindness itself isn't an issue.

That's certainly a possibility, I'm just seeing if there's a way to keep the
info "clean".

Good point. And I agree with one of your follow ups that unless someone has
familiarity with the scale, they'll *never* look at six cubes and say "Oh!
This person's a 12!" So it's a little hinky anyway.

I've got some more to post in a minute.
