Alvaro,

Thank you for your perspective. I will certainly keep it in mind for future 
designs.

Just to clarify, you mean Blue-Red, or Blue-Green? What should be the second 
color?

Also, I'm not sure I understand how or why turning off the lights in a room, 
helps you see the colors better. Is it because the difference in brightness 
is more obvious in the dark?

Can you provide a couple of examples of products that you bought based on 
the criterion of color-blind-friendliness? It would help me make a better 
argument during our future design/planning sessions.

Thanks again,
