I was thinking the same exact thing. I'm color blind, and Success and Danger look very close while Success and Warning are easily distinguishable.
EDIT: After another read, I see that it was a typo in the article. That being said, is Primary not already blue? I'd venture a guess that it's actually purple (again: color blind) if the OP is suggesting making Success blue.
- ownagefool 13y agoPrimary looks blue to me. I find it a bit strange that you would call one distinct colour another colour, as we're taught to label them as children, so generally colour blind people only trip up on edge cases as it doesn't matter what you see, you've learned to associate a shade with a label. Your eyes must be more messed up than mine; are you talking about the top Primary or the lower Primary, because I can kinda understand with the lower, but I'd be suprised if anyone with a decent monitor couldn't tell the top colours apart and call them by name, extreme cases being the exception.
- DigitalJack 13y agoBlue and purple are problematic because of the red component. If your color blindness comes from a deficiency in red then it's difficult. On the other hand, if you're deficiency stems from lacking green, then blue and purple won't be as difficult. Red-green color blindness stems from a deficiency, and therefore some colors are aliased. It is not a substitution where the total unique colorspace is the same size but with different elements. The colorspace has is reduced. So it is not matter of memorizing that a shade of X is really Y. That may work in some cases that are likely unique to the individual, but there WILL be aliased colors.
