Abstract

Colorblindness affects 10% of the male population. This impairment incurs limitations as well as uncomfortable personal and social situations for those who experience colorblindness that depend on others to choose products in which color is a predominant factor, such as pieces of apparel and decoration. A sample group of colorblind people questioned in a recent study found relevant the development of a system which would allow them to identify colors. The development of a graphic color identification system was the answer to this need, its concept and structure making it universal, easy to communicate and memorize. This system can be applied to a variety of products and allow the colorblind to reduce or even eliminate their dependence on others.
