Doug,

Thanks very much for bringing this up as a topic and pushing it forward at Summit. I think this will be a great step forward for Horizon in maturity as we continue to have better accessibility support. I wanted to throw out any article that I found helpful when it comes to testing sites for accessibility for colorblindness:
http://css-tricks.com/accessibility-basics-testing-your-page-for-color-blindness/

I think we can make some very small/easy changes with the color scheme to be sure there is enough contrast to target all types of colorblindness.

Looking forward to this session,
Liz
