If Colorblind / Monochromatic: Can you distinguish these buttons?

abstauber · Wed 01/08/2012 16:06:37

Can you read the numbers and/or tell, if those buttons are different?

I know, I've asked this a few years before, but now I'd like to know if I can get rid of the shapes and still have a playable game.

Thanks for your help!

A colorblind friend of mine said that the 1 and the 2 uses colors that are too much the same. So he has a little bit of trouble telling me the difference between these two colorwise.

Thanks for the quick feedback!
Can your friend read the numbers or do they blend in too much? Are 4 and 6 okay? Which color would be more suitable instead of purple?

Questions, questions questions

To me everything looked fine and clear...except that the number 2 kind of looks like a questionmark hehe

Try this link. Should be a pop-over on the right side for you to select different colorblindness options.

Eric, this link is terrific. Thanks a million! Also thanks MforW - no matter how I turn it, button 2 needs to change

He can read the numbers although the '2' is a bit off...
Also:
The colors blue (1) and purple (2) are a bit the same
The colors blue (3) and purple (5) are a bit the same (he said '5' was green but a slighly different green then the '3')

Note: the 'Color Blindness: Protan' filter of the site Eric mentioned comes close to the version of my friend's colorblindness.

And some answers

Question: why using numbers in stead of dots like domino?

Numbers are way more convenient and easier to spot. I once had a version with spots, but in a 8x8 sprite a spot would have the size of 1px which is a bit tricky to recognize and count.

Thanks once again for your input! I've already changed the color of the second sprite and as long as those numbers a readable I'm sure everyone will be fine.

True, the dots would become unrecognizable at such a sprite dimension.
Can you upload the new sprites when they are ready?
