ColorSym is a free, open-source color-identification system that pairs every color with a unique, memorable symbol. When color alone isn't enough to tell things apart, the symbol does the job, so the roughly 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women with color vision deficiency can read your components, charts, or UI with confidence.

That's a nicely thought out system, hopefully it catches on.

Very cool, useful and sleek.
