Do you have any daughters?  Are they tetrachromatic?  They may be able to distinguish millions more colors than we plain old trichromats.  What you have to realize, though, is that programmers are like Air Force pilots.  They don't qualify if they are color blind.  So they really don't care about you.  It's like the programmers with 20/10 vision that design those 1099's with 8-point type so that they can leave half the page blank.
