On November 30, 2021, the Keio University Barrier-Free Map passed the color universal design verification by the Color Universal Design Organization (CUDO), a specified non-profit corporation, and obtained CUD certification. This map was created in collaboration with the Office of Facilities and Property Management.
What is Color Universal Design?
Color perception (the way colors are perceived) actually differs from person to person, just like the senses of taste and smell. For this reason, color schemes intended to make things easier to distinguish can sometimes make them harder to see, creating difficulties for some people (such as those with color vision deficiency) in accurately receiving information.
Additionally, some people with typical color vision may perceive colors differently from others due to illness or other conditions. "Color universal design" refers to the practice of proactively considering the use of colors, font shapes, and other elements to ensure that information is conveyed correctly to everyone.
