Generally all common kinds of colorblindness are considered in accessibility. We are expected to accommodate to this mostly male problem. Using primary colors and strong color contrasts is the normal way of doing things, using subtle shades that color blind men dont see is considered bad thing.

With exception of electrotechnic which is historically male dominated and uses ridiculous color system that ignores the issue entirely. Dunno why. I am all for changing that.

What do you mean? Colors in EE documents are generally pretty irrelevant.


I'm guessing it's a reference to resistor color codes.

Color codes on resistors. The worst part is brown, red and orange. I am good at distinguishing colors (was tested no issue) and sometimes it was quite difficult.


Fair enough. These are obsolete for SMD and precision components, though.


I am not, that's just how things are these days. And if you're talking in a condescending way to me as if I am the angry white male, I assure you I am not white and not even a Western man and never been to the west.
