Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Eight percent of Males and half a percent of females in the United States are COLOR BLIND.
Red/Green Color Blindness is the MOST COMMON form.

A few years back CCP satisfied the 92% and added very helpful color coding to contracts to help reduce contract confusion.
So what colors did CCP choose to make their contracts easy to read?

Green for money gained.
Red for money lost.


Bummer!

Seems they missed something CRITICAL and in retrospect needs to be changed. a person can't be Red/Green colorblind and also Magenta/Cyan colorblind, the two combined would result in complete blindness so an easy option.:

CCP should offer the ability:
to turn all green text: Cyan
-and-
to turn all red text: Magenta.

With such a small change I am sure some of the affected population will be "magenta boxing" their fellow capsuleers in PVP, and the Color Blind industrialists will be raking in piles of cold cyan cash.

getting real sick of these troll threads.

It's not a troll. It is a legitimate issue. I am red/green color blind. I don't even know what I am missing there, but I do know that it very difficult for me to tell the yellow symbol on the overview from the white ones. Consequently I have to check both the overview and the rout, in many cases to keep from getting lost. That is only one of the problems I have. Would you think it was a troll if you had the same problem?

Same here. Have different visual issues with the game so I can definitely empathize with the OP.

Did you reply to the wrong thread?

Not color blind myself but +1

Color blindness is a relatively easy thing for game devs to work around, its just a matter of swapping out a few colors. I don't see how this would harm anyone.

Also, anyone who says it is a waste of dev resources is a selfish as*hole who should go kill themselves.

So because I feel it's my responsibility to adapt I should go off myself? You are some piece of work, you are.
There isn't any common color scheme the devs can configure to. I've learned to adapt baed on true colors and how I actually see them.
I know grass isn't orange. even though that's how I see it..so when I see that shade, i know it's really green. You start messing with base colors and you screw up people like me who've learned to adapt what they see with what it actually is.

Now, you want to make my life harder by "helping" me? go **** youreself, and then kill yourself.

save the puppies!!

I've never seen a color blind people...
Well, if that's a real issue, i'd prefer the option in the ESC menu for "color blind" theme.
And i'd like to use more colours because i can, so leave us, the normal people, alone.
