title: How do I indicate success and failure with colour?
body: <p>I need to make a Java component that turns the background a certain colour when a process passed, and another colour when the process failed.</p>
  <p>My first thought was: green for success, red for failure.</p>
  <p>But then I read that 10% of males <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness" rel="nofollow noreferrer">can't</a> differentiate between these two colours. What would be a better combination of colours?</p>
  <p>(For the nitpickers: yes, I know that colour alone doesn't suffice, that text, shape, and noise can also be used. Nevertheless I am asking about the appropriate use of colour.)</p>
