    The problem we’re talking about is a UX one. The ability to quickly distinguish a visual sign / interface.

    And I’m both an actual electrical engineer and a software engineer, I understand the distinctions between the two very well.

    But do please cite your ergonomic data showing that rainbow crosswalks are hard to see, or you can admit that you’re just baselessly pearl clutching.

      Visibility of Targets. Werner Adrian. A classic and a reference on the subject.

      Oh, BTW, you are using the concept of UX incorrectly. Not all system -> human interfaces are UX. I’m not completely ignorant on the subject. Several years teaching programming at the university level + many more developing for the private sector does give me a certain base to talk about the subject.

        Yes, now apply the theory in that paper to a fucking rainbow with a white outline against a black background.

        If you can’t bring yourself to admit that you were pearl clutching and making up nonexistent problems then just stop replying.
