Title: Consider the Colorblind

Many years ago I was a third fiddle programmer on a new software package being developed. The OD had some weird monochromatic fixation so everything was some shade of green. Never being one to let my graphic design training from that high school class go to waste, I took it upon myself to fix the colors, patterning them on Windows 3.1 schemes.

The head honcho understood where I was going with that, so we standardized my colors. Made a big mistake when I showed too many co-workers how to change, still having nightmares about pink/purple combos some of the fairer sex came up with.

At some point, it occurred to me, that the colorblind might somehow be offended by the amount of time we were spending to appeal to multichromatic individuals, and we needed to focus on the basics of system design: to make as much money as we can. Rather than spend $150K on a study, you know what I did? I changed my display to black and white. Menu system was completely readable, but the weird, tucked in little corner fields were kind of hard to read. They were hard to read in color, too, I recollect...

I'm frankly dissapointed, I was hoping one of the MSM goons would describe the NYT gimp as "handi-capable" :)

I think this will come back to hurt Trump if he is the GOP nominee next year.

That is how stupid this country has become.

We'll need marches and picnic baskets to undo the damage. And funny hats.
