Colour Blindness

Preparing graphics for the web? Do you ever consider how they might look to some of your target audience who have some form of colour blindness?

There are plug-ins available for Photoshop (try this one: http://www.vischeck.com/downloads/) but in CS4 you can also do a quick check for red and green types by going to View > Proof Setup > Color Blindness – Protanopia-type | Deuteranopia-type.

If you want to do a check for other types you could use this resource at Colblindor: http://www.colblindor.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/
