Unfortunately, some of my clients still have domain names, email and website hosting services with Network Solutions.

Imagine my surprise to come across this new design. Network Solutions must have played “spin the bottle” to determine that teal and green go REALLY WELL together! lol

What so horrible about the design?  The colors!

I mean, they could have combined red and pink…or orange and red but any way you look at it, they are trying to be “hip” but instead truly represent the AOL of hosting companies.

Maybe the people who designed and approved this look are color blind?

Excerpt of “Are You Color Blind” from everwonder.com

There are three types of color receptors in our eyes, red, green and blue. We also have black and white receptors.  Most color perception defects are for red or green or both. About 10% of males have a color perception defect, but this is rare in females.

Check for yourself  for color perception defects here.
What numbers do you see ?   If any.

I know I’m not color blind because I can see all the numbers on the test page AND I’ve noticed when talking with some male clients and designers, we “see” different colors which got me curious about color blindness about 6 months ago. Now if there is a disagreement on color schemes, I ask the client to view a page like this and that opens a dialog for how to move forward on design with no one losing face.
