# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Hidden Cost of Colour in Design - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: Colour Blindness affects around 300 million people worldwide - this talk explores what we miss when we rely on colour alone.About this EventColour carries meaning - instructions, safety signals, learning cues and buying decisions. But, if we rely on colour alone, millions of people can’t access the message or feel the emotion behind it.This fast-paced, visual seminar shows what colour blindness looks like, where it causes real-world errors and the simple design fixes that will work everywhere.Colour isn’t merely decoration, it’s information too. We use it to teach, to warn, to guide, to sell and to signal status. However, for people with colour blindness (colour vision deficiency), some of that information can be lost.Colour blindness affects around 300 million people worldwide (including learners, employees and customers). Yet it remains one of the most overlooked accessibility issues - even though the fixes are often simple, low-cost and improve clarity (and often safety) for everyone.In this talk, we’ll bring together lived experience, practical design examples and a short, accessible explainer on how colour vision works to show:Where colour-only design fails in education, branding/marketing, product/UX and safety-critical environmentsWhat “colour blindness” really means (and it’s not just about red and green)How to design so the message survives and thrivesYou’ll leave with a straightforward set of principles and quick wins you can apply immediately - whether you create learning materials, dashboards, products, signage, comms, presentations, maps, charts, or safety information. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/newcastle-upon-tyne/the-hidden-cost-of-colour-in-design/100001981332159826 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Newcastle upon Tyne - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: St James' View - **lat**: 54.9751165 - **long**: -1.6191263 - **full address**: St James' View, Saint James Terrace, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Hidden Cost of Colour in Design - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=The+Hidden+Cost+of+Colour+in+Design&date=Thu%2C+26+Feb%2C+2026+at+05%3A30+pm&bg=2 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Hidden Cost of Colour in Design being held? - **A:** The Hidden Cost of Colour in Design takes place on Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm at St James' View, Saint James Terrace, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Hidden Cost of Colour in Design? - **A:** The Hidden Cost of Colour in Design is organized by Colour Collective UK. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
