Help wanted

[memnus]

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

I'd be up for it.

And no, to me, those images very much don't look the same.

Yup, I'm with Mac - pretty different, excepting the blue and yellow bands which correspond. Though I hasten to add that I'm not color-blind. Good luck with the project, it sounds interesting I must admit!

I do test as red-green colorblind, but those look very different. The yellow and blue are the same, but the others are not.

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]

I'd love to look at images instead of working, you can count me in.

P.S. If thats what color blindness is like for people with the affliction, I feel very very sorry for them

Not color blind, and I'll not reiterate what those above have said, but to concur. *grin*
