While using appropriate colors, providing good color contrast, and not using color as the only means of conveying content<br \/>\nis important for those with color-blindness or color deficiency, these techniques may also improve accessibility to those who are blind (screen readers do not typically identify color) or have low vision (these users may override<br \/>\npage colors to make the page more readable).
