"Color blindness" doesn't mean the person can't see red things-- in this case, red-green color blindness just means they won't be able to tell "red" and "green" apart. Red print on reddish paper (like the SimCity sheet) should be just as readable to them as to anyone else... red print on GREEN paper would cause problems for someone with red-green color blindness, like the color blindness tests that have numbers made of red and green dots. Of course, red print on green paper would give everyone else a headache when they tried to read it, too. :-) -- james "kibo" parry, 138 birch lane, scotia, ny 12302 <-- close to schenectady. kibo@pawl.rpi.edu _________________________________________________ kibo%pawl.rpi.edu@rpi.edu / Kibology / Anything I say is my opinion, userfe0n@rpitsmts.bitnet / is better! / and is the opposite of Xibo's.
