Help wanted

So for my Human-Computer Interaction class, I'm working on a project related to color-blindness. I'd like a few volunteers that I can show some pictures to, and ask for opinions - either whether two things look the same, or if a modified image looks hideously ugly even though the colors have better contrast. Also, if you have any examples of websites with poor color choices, links would be awesome.



Do these two look the same? The one on the left is a simple spectrum with hue values from zero to one; the one on the right is the same image with red and green channels averaged. It was the simplest model of color-blindness to implement; if the two images are too distinct, I may have to go to the actual perceptually-based models. :-P

Volunteer'd!

I'm definitely colorblind and I can clearly tell the difference between these two. I'll keep my eyes open for poorly-colored stuff; I know I've seen plenty, but of course nothing leaps to mind now that I'm being specifically asked. =o]
