Colour Scheme => Does anybody know a tool which could be used by blind people?

JSievers

Hallo.
A good friend of me develops web suites, for example his own at:
www.augenpunkte.de. As you can see there my friend is blind and also
he uses a Braille-line to develop these projects. For example his own
suite at. But he has a big problem to find out the right colours for
his pages and so he asked me for a big list with some colour schemes.
A hex-colour-value for each part of a page (Text, Links e.g.)

So I have had a look at some tools in the net which were mostly very
well, especially the tool under http://www.wellstyled.com/tools/colo.../index-en.html.
Unfortunately, all these tools are not for blind people, because they
are often served about graphic elements and no alt-tack were used.

My question is: Does anybody know a tool which could be used by blind
people (no pictures as controls) to produce useable web colour
schemes? Normally his customers will select a colour scheme for his
new web pages. But the developer needs his selection as a text file
(or style-sheet) usable by him.

My idea is to use a existing tool but I'm really not a JAVA or Web
Developer. So I hope anybody is able to extend the (for example)
colorscheme2 tool to get it able to export the selected scheme as a
text or css file. Every value with a label, that describes for which
part he should be used.

Does somebody have an idea or hint?

Regards
Juergen

I can hardly help you for the colour issue.
However, I may suggest to change the layout of the banner with the
AUGENPUNKTE logo.
Its width is too large. With my visual browser, I have to horizontally
scroll.

Python syntax in Lisp and Scheme

by: mike420 | last post by:

I think everyone who used Python will agree that its syntax is the best thing going for it. It is very readable and easy for everyone to learn. But, Python does not a have very good macro capabilities, unfortunately. I'd like to know if it may be possible to add a powerful macro system to Python, while keeping its amazing syntax, and if it could be possible to add Pythonistic syntax to Lisp or Scheme, while keeping all of the...

Windows Colour Scheme

by: Wayne | last post by:

I'm interested to know if I am the only person in the world who hates the default Windows XP colour scheme ie. Blue. Whoever was in charge of this in the Windows design team must have been either colour blind or mad! If they wanted to choose a more imposing colour, red is about the only one left! Lets face it, the average Windows user leaves their colour scheme at the default, which means that all my sized Access forms not only have...

The other could be that you have more free hand and control to design your GUI. 2....

standard colour for C++

by: Chor Lit | last post by:

Hi, I asked Bjarne Stroustrup about the idea of adding colour standard for C++, and he said that it is very difficult for compiler vendors to change their IDE. But do you think it is possible ? Note that the proposed colour standard is not just merely to ease the eye only as what presently is in C++ compilers, but to aid in syntax disambiguation and other advantages. Here are a few advantages that I can think of:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
