      Re-consider the use of color for interpretation and the impact of accessibility requirements on governments and corporations that are interested in STIX.

      Description

      I don't know the context, government, corporate, etc., in which STIX will be used but if color is important to interpretation of the standard, you will run into accessibility issues.

      Perception of color varies widely and I don't know of any "safe" colors for all users. Not to mention that software for the visually impaired is unlikely to use color as a clue for reading.

      Update: I did some more research among the TAB and your use of green is very problematic: http://blog.usabilla.com/how-to-design-for-color-blindness/
