In Japan according to the Japanese Ophthamlogical Society, people with color blindness make up about 5% of men and about 0.2% of women. Colorblind people often experience inconvenient situations in their lives because they cannot distinguish colors. Web pages are no exception. Companies and governments use web pages to transmit information to people. In this study, we created a web page with a color scheme obtained from previous research. This study confirmed that colorblind people, after viewing such a web page, remembered its contents better. From these results, this study analyzed the role of information transmission on the web page. As a result, the viewers color vision and hue of colors on the web page had no effects on their memory. The result also showed that the color of high chroma on the web page had no effects on their memory. The result also showed that the color of high chroma had bad effects on their memory.

Abstract


In Japan according to the Japanese Ophthamlogical Society, people with color blindness make up about 5% of men and about 0.2% of women. Colorblind people often experience inconvenient situations in their lives because they cannot distinguish colors. Web pages are no exception. Companies and governments use web pages to transmit information to people. In this study, we created a web page with a color scheme obtained from previous research. This study confirmed that colorblind people, after viewing such a web page, remembered its contents better. From these results, this study analyzed the role of information transmission on the web page. As a result, the viewers color vision and hue of colors on the web page had no effects on their memory. The result also showed that the color of high chroma on the web page had no effects on their memory. The result also showed that the color of high chroma had bad effects on their memory.
