Sorry, what is "barrier free"?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

No barriers for handicapped people. In this case it means that people who can't tell e.g. red from green can still see the differences in this scheme.

It's a false friend/too literal translation from the German term "barrierefrei". The more common word in English would be "accessible".

Got it, thanks!
