The middle two he can differentiate between if he looks at them for a long time, but in an instant they are not easily identifiable.<br /> <br />Colours he'd be able to easily tell apart are Dark Blue; Yellow; Red/Green; White. <br /> <br />Note, red or green, but never both together.<br />"Red and green should not be see, except upon an Irish Queen" :p<br /> <br />Or you could use textures or symbols on the ships instead of just colour alone?<br /> <br />The green health indicator he would not be able to tell apart when it changed to red - having it as a depleting bar would be best, or as above: using texture / shading as well as colour; or symbols / shapes.<br /> <br />@hodsey77<br /> <br />Glad to see you are trying to do what you can to help colourblind gamers - if only the big companies like Infinity Ward, SEGA and Take 2, etc would follow suit :)<br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />HelenVoodooChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034494031676796112noreply@blogger.com
