color blind people are not gray-level blind

[Christophe Lavarenne <Christophe.Lavarenne@xxxxxxxx>]

The different colors may be distinguished by color-blind people, provided that
they have different gray-level equivalent intensities (light...medium...dark),
and that the number of colors is limited to a handfull.

One advantage of coloring, appart from the colorfull screens that Chuck likes,
is that each color-change character is a "word" which doesn't need separators,
whereas a Forth colon, for example, requires a space before and after it.
This allows Chuck to put more code in each of his 256-bytes RAM "blocks".

The color makes it also easier to see the limits of a comment or of a
definition, while taking less space than usual empty lines or end-of-lines.

Yes, I know: some people prefer the vertically structured code of text files
to the horizontally structured code of block files.
Please don't start again a thread on this overly covered subject...
