Well, we'd need to ask someone who knows something about visual disability (I am assuming that you don't, apologies if this is incorrect). There are a number of ways of being visually disabled, and they do not all have the same requirements. Someone with no vision at all is unlikely to bothered by colours, one way or another, for instance. My point is that it's easy to think that you understand what a person with disability needs, but better to ask. Phil
