I have just seen an enquiry from Rahmah Mohd Talib about colour contrast.
Marcus is indeed right about the contrast CD although the Research is as
relevant to the latest CD as it was to the previous one - the numbers are
the same - only the order has altered.
It is important to determine whether or not it is colour or luminance
contrast you wish to measure on site, as suggested there is equipment
available - but it is really too expensive unless colour measurement is to
be a major part of your work. The use of colour swatches is really good
enough in most built environment situations. Certainly, unless extensive
lighting measurements are also taken the use of colour swatches will be ok
in most situations.
More information on colour and lighting and their general use in the
environment for people who are visually impaired (Project Rainbow) or those
who are deaf or hard of hearing (Project Crystal), equally as important in
the communication process, is available on the Research Group's web site on
www.reading.ac.uk/ie.
