Re: color blindness and sound engineering




Only thing I can think of that might actually help is to use an optical filter, such as a dark red gel, to increase the contrast with the surrounding field.


A rule followed by all serious user interface designers, as those who work in aerospace or for the military, is that critical information is never represented by color alone. Color is great for additional information, such as whether a condition is nominal, a warning, or a fault. Unfortunately such clear thinking has not come to all audio gear. Designers take note.
