At this very moment I stumbled accross the Firefox extension Colorful Tabs. After installing it you get your tabs showed in very nice colors. I was eager to know if I can distinguish the chosen tab colors as well or if I can’t, so it was installed immediately. After restarting Firefox it looked like the picture shown below.
Very nice. And I can even see the different colors. On the first sight it looks good but on the second I start realizing that I can’t find the active tab that easily anymore. All the colors distract my eyes and confuse me. The border which is shown and the bold text on the active tab are not enough for me.
Do I get distracted because of my color blindness or do you have the same problem?
I have the same problem, and I don’t suffer from colour blindness.
Maybe you suffer not of complete or a strong color blindness but just a slight one. Have a look at the Tests category if you like to find out about it.
