“The apples were not very accessible to those of us with colorblindness," said father Hugo Graham, who never felt so debilitated by his condition. “We couldn’t see any of the apples. They were completely indistinguishable from the leaves. It’s horrible user experience design. Let me just say that the Graham family will not be patronizing this apple picking establishment again.
“I’m colorblind as a bat, but I thought I would be able to see at least some of the apples, like at least one of those big honeycreepers or whatever they’re called,” said Kiki Graham, who until recently thought that traffic lights were purely decorative. “We ended up leaving entirely empty-handed besides the jar of applesauce from the gift shop.”
“It’s saddening that in today’s world, regular activities are still inaccessible to folks with colorblindness,” said Patricia Ravik, president of colorblind advocacy group National Organization for Colorblindness Action (NOCA). “NOCA stands with the Graham family and everyone who has ever been unable to access essential recreational activities due to colorblindness.”
At press time, red-green colorblindness also totally ruined the festive spirit of Christmas decorations.
