Now I can say that the ColorADD® system started (March 2010) to be used by Portuguese companies with an international dimension.

was first necessary to secure the acceptance and recognition of this system throughout the world community. 2009 was the year of raising awareness of the ColorADD®system. You are now ready to be adopted.

I am very interested in making contact with international companies and organizations interested in implementing the system in their products, where color is a factor of identification, guidance and choice.
is undoubtedly a tool of inclusion and a strong argument for social responsibility and sustainability.

my contact is coloradd@gmail.com or info@coloradd.com

Thank you for calling out this project. I came across it when it was first posted and thought it would provide little benefit for all the reasons you highlighted. Thank you for making me feel like I’m not alone in understanding the code’s purpose. I’d rather have words explaining the colors (this tie is red and grey) instead of arbitrary symbols that are based on understanding color in the first place.

Martin, thanks for your input. You are right, there are some good areas of applications on computers.

Miguel, it’s a pleasure to hear from you. I’m really looking forward to see some really good applications of your system. I would be one of the first to adopt it if it really helps in my every day life. Thanks.

First of all, thank you for your interest.
I am the author of this project and read carefully your comments.
Good to know that we are all moving towards the same side, allowed and to make inclusion a reality for more people.
Of the four questions that you set in your blog, 3 of them only time will tell the answer. We are always working to improve this project.
Regarding the question of the orientation of the symbols. In studies and trials, concluded that few situations where this problem arises – is the symbol that represents the color of an information element, it always appears with more information (with guidance set). However, the solution is provided in the book of graphic standards for this project.
Your question is the question of symbols a lot to see reversed – the references are the numbers are presented in balls snoker. This project is aimed at all colorblind people (regardless of cultural background, age, knowledge, etc …), which attempted to create the simplest element to facilitate the store.
Thanks again for your interest and I am available to answer more questions.
