[Elecraft] K3 Colour Contrast

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

-----Original Message-----

I am monochromatic [pretty rare unless you're from a remote island in 
the S. Pacific I can't remember the name of -- I'm not from there and 
I'm pretty sure none of my ancestors are either].  I can't see the 
numerals on my K3 keypad which my wife tells me are red on a dark gray 
button.  I can discern all the rest of the legends.  I've figured out 
where the keypad keys are however so I'm not going to file an ADA suit 
against Elecraft :-)  I do have much better vision in very dim light 
than all the rest of you.

Please don't ask me, "What colors can you see?"  I can see all of them. 
I just can't name them, and lots of them all look alike to me.  I began 
to realize I wasn't discerning colors well when everyone had a lot of 
names for colors that looked the same to me.  I realized I was 
monochromatic when color TV appeared and it looked just like B&W.  I've 
run across some pretty difficult web sites.  Windoze Default color 
scheme works OK for me.

I was just reviewing a recently-published report that included the
observation that when we view a color, one specific area of our brain
becomes active. But, once we assign a name to the color, a wholly different
part of the brain springs into action when we see it and the original area
remains inactive. 

In short, colors with names go over there. Those without names are over
here...
