Colorblindness, WAS: ARGH! Question about screen captures

[Mike Stockman]

Great explanation, David, but I have one question: isn't your rule #5
(quoted below) sufficient all by itself? That is, as long as people
provide an alternate means of making the point (such as a unique
pattern in addition to the color, or, as you mention, blue *and*
underline for links), they can break your other rules (mix red, green,
and gray badly, for example) with impunity?

I may well be missing something... it just occurred to me that #5 gave
us a single, easy-to-remember rule that's easier to impart to
developers (for example).

Thanks,
Mike
