When you are designing an HMI or a SCADA display, you have to consider color blindness.

Approximately 5% to 8% of men and 0.5% of women are born colorblind. Usually, these people are protans (red weak) and deutans (green weak). Though there are varying degrees of color blindness, there are some that cannot differentiate red from  green, so the colors look the same to them.

These people negotiate stoplights based on the position of the light that is on, not the color.

This is a big problem in industry, where red and green are commonly used to indicate the status of a piece of equipment.

There are a couple of ways to solve this problem. We could use icons that have different shapes, depending on whether they are on or off. In addition to being a different color, a pump icon that is off could have a round hole cut out in the middle, such as is shown below.

Here is what the pumps shown above might look like to a person who is colorblind.

The black dot in the middle of the pump that is off will be appreciated.

Another option is to add text. Not only does this help the person who might be colorblind, it obviously confirms the state of the equipment to those even with true color vision.

An interesting benefit to keeping the icons discernible to the color blind is that these icons are easier to read for those of us who are not color blind.
