[thelist] color blindness

[aardvark]

that's not enough of the audience for me... remember, it still 
*works*... if you have enough contrast and it's still usable, i'd leave 
it... most other color combinations you choose will be seen 
differently by different types of color-blindness anyway...  and the 
color blind viewer is already used to seeing that brown in place of 
the green everywhere anyway...

if it were unusable for that audience, then i'd reconsider...

it's similar to designing for screen res, or browser... i think applying 
the same rules of thumb might be handy...
