Similar things happen to me in League of Legends with certain abilities from champions. Luckily, in that case... Riot (officially) added a Red/Green colorblind mode which is awesome! | ||

It's a design flaw and not a very difficult one to fix. It's rather emberassing that a company like Blizzard has not yet fixed this issue. This is kind of one of those sad threads, though, where you realize how many ignorant assholes visit the website. But also positive in that many also stepped up to support color blind support. I think they did a good job pointing out the abursidity of the other's attempts at reasoning, so I'll abstain from that argument. | ||

Changing the color to purple or colors will affect ppl with Violet-blind condition. 4. This is like asking blizzard to have an option for those with hearing loss. It's a far more common condition than deuteranomaly..etc., mind you. And I am pretty sure most of them dealt with it by changing the options on their end AKA turn the volume up. 5. Adjust your screen calibration, the color saturation and gamma on your end, pblm solved. Just to note this person disagrees with me but is not a fool, these are good points. I don't want anyone telling me I am just calling anyone with a differing opinion a fool, As I'm not colorblind (actually have unusually sharp eyes) I don't know if this^ would work for them. Edit: clarification. There is Blizzard making it go red purple blue purple and who wants to ruin ALL of the colors gamma etc. Making this^ post wrong but not foolish. Edit: put why I still disagree with smart one. | ||

See this image? see the number? Color blind people cant, in that they completely cant. Its not difficult its IMPOSIBLE, i even have to take the word of the website that there even is a number. ![[image loading]](http://www.toledo-bend.com/colorblind/Color6.jpg) Given no disadvatage at all to non color blind people why would you opose this at all. You can open this in a picture editor and increase the saturation and/or play around with the color balance. Eventually I was able to see the number. But i guess its different for everyone. For the red dot thing, I've never seen one, didn't even know one was supposed to see it. I always guessed where the nuke might be going down, moved some units away and it usually did the job. It would be nice to see it in advance, though 99% of the time its either the worker-line or your main army anyways. Good thing terrans so far don't predict colorblindness and put the nuke where you are likely to retreat to with all your stuff...  | ||

Adjust your screen calibration, the color saturation and gamma on your end, pblm solved. This is why I recommend having Ally/Enemy colour settings that are customizable and include the minimap as well. you can already play custom games against the PC and set all the colours - just extend that to apply to ladder and teams just using Ally/Enemy. 1 - I agree, and I think that applies to your post as well. 2 - Everyone is different and everyone gets affected to varying degrees - having customization resolves this issue for most people. If in doubt I think you should see point 1. 3 - See point to 2. 4 - They do - it's called notifications on the left and the right of the screen for stuff like buildings complete etc. The big minimap exploding with boxes when you are attacked are all examples of visual things they've implemented. 5 - It's all relative - you still lose out and cannot get it correctly. I'll add a counter point to this thread in general: - People that don't have a problem should not make bigotory comments. | ||
