Subject: Christine Rigdence's Colour Blindness Charts.
No previous message | Next message →

I've pointed students in the past to the colour charts that Christine
Rigdence had on the BT website - for those that don't know them,
they've got the standard set of web safe colours reproduced as people
with different types of colour blindness see them.
BT seem to re-organise their site on a fairly regular basis & now I
can't find them at all!
They're currently archived at http://is.gd/nJqq (Archive.org page) -
and they've had various other URLs over the years.
Does anyone know where they currently are, or a different site with
the same stuff. (I also point them to sites like Visibone - but that's
really only useful after students have picked colours; these charts
were good for getting them to think before they selected colours.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Emma,

The page you referenced seems to have moved here:
http://www.btplc.com/inclusion/Gettingonline/Accessible/Adviceforwebdevelopers/palette.htm

But Google indexes this page, which seems to redirect to a useful
landing page on BT's site:
http://www.bt.com/colourvision/

Thanks to Jon for that URL; someone else also knows Christine & asked
her directly - she's now left BT & so has put them on her own site -
