- zemanel 15y agoThere is a small program for Windows (being developed) to sample and code a screen color sample, but much more could be done. Can you imagine the stress that receiving a corrected document (word processor) in which the sections to correct are red/yellow, to a color blinded secretary? It's real, there are case studies that relate these problems fron kids to grown ups.
