Note: I really sent this.
Why, in all hell, did you guys make two of the colors in SET green and red? Nearly 10% of ALL males are green-red color deficient! I LOVE the game, but am constantly asking my friends if a card is green or red, because I DON'T KNOW!!! And I know, you offer advice about drawing lines on the cards to distinguish them, but there are so many other colors to pick from! Black, yellow, orange, blue--- but instead you guys chose to lock 5% of the total population out of your fun little clique, because they're born differently.
I'm really getting pissed about this. I hope you can tell.
Sincerely,
S. F.

Well, they don't know you're wearing a kipah, which is a good thing.

ReplyDeleteThough I have no idea what this game is...
For the record they did reply (no coupons tho :\ ):
ReplyDeleteWhen Set was created, color blindness was taken into consideration. The color-blind lab at Michigan State University helped to choose colors which were pleasing to the non-color blind population and were able to be seen by most color-blind people. Thus, the red used on the cards is not a pure red, and often is called orange. The green is often called yellow and the purple black or blue. Unfortunately, we could not get colors that all could see, especially under different lighting conditions.
We have also looked into producing an alternate colored specialty deck, but it proved to be cost prohibitive.
We received some good advice from one of our customers who just put a black line on all of the red cards (on the very edge of the cards) so that he could tell the difference between red and green. This may take some time to get used to but it seems to have worked.
I hope the above suggestion helps to even the playing field.
