As I’ve mentioned before, I’m part of a virtual team in work, with 2 members and my manager in three different states of the US and 2 of us in Ireland. 95% of our meetings are done over the phone, so we’re well used to viewing documents from each other via NetMeeting or Communicator.
One of my team members is also colour blind so we have to be careful about how we mark up our documents (such as colour-coding items on a spreadsheet) and how we refer to items in our documents (e.g. you can’t say ‘the pink items’). He can tell strong primary colours apart, but shades of pink for example look the same to him.
I often wonder what it would be like to be colour blind, so when I stumbled across this post during the week, I found it quite interesting!
I can assure you, we see things differently — just like the subtitle of my blog — Another Point of View.
I noticed that might video game of choice offers a set-up selection — color blindness friendly — but I have never gotten it to work.

That should have been “my video game”, or maybe “mi video game” for Ireland.
