Re: Re: Re: Re: Why red?
by JaceCar
There's a good percentage of the population (10% give or take) that don't see red, or don't see red well. I happen to be one of them.

Things in yellow or blue stand out. If you want/need to maintain the red because of the "red-light/green-light" standard, it needs to be lighter in tone -- closer to orange -- or folks like me won't see it.

And, as a side note, red on black or black on red is invisible to us -- just looks like mush.
