Color Blind

William Clerico

I, like many others, have some degree of red/green color blindness.  When those colors are used for markers, lines, polygons, map legends, etc. it makes CALTopo very difficult to use especially on a mobile device. The issue is 2-fold.  1. When I create map objects I would like to be able to change the default colors for the various objects. This would simplify my process for marking clues, creating search tracks, etc. 2. Probably more important - a "color blind mode" so that we can see objects created by others (Incident Command and Management) that are using red and green colors. Perhaps by addressing #1 with a default color profile then Incident Command could use a profile that addresses this issue.  On our SAR team of more than 50 active members we have over a dozen people that struggle with this issue.  A good start would be to have the default object colors be anything other than green or red! Thanks for listening.

    I've also submitted a feature for black and white base maps for printing purposes which may be complimentary to this feature request.
