And everybody else loses? I'd really like to hear their rational for the colors. Do they really thing someone will pick the Prime over the TI based on the color of the keys? The color nspire keyboard (their competition) is very readable.

Someone actually got paid to pick those colors.

Yes, they do think that. After all, they would!

They probably had three independent focus groups that like them. What do beta testers know, anyway? They're not representative samples, they're self-selecting.

Now if color-blindness, complete or partial, was covered by the ADA, they'd notice, and people wouldn't have this problem.

Yet another case where 3D printing could be a solution -- print replacement faceplates, or faceplate covers, in different colors.
