Does
Size Matter?
Like many things in
life, the answer is probably,
YES
but again like life it is usually not the most important factor
for "Visually Impaired" people trying to read directions/instructions
on labels.
A good pair of reading glasses or hand held lens will often help here. 
However
this does not help in all situations.

This can be a
shady area
Our eyes are more sensitive
to some colours than others.
Ever thought why "Emergency Exit" signs are
in
GREEN not RED.
Well our eyes are more sensitive to green than to red.
Simple,
but not so if you are designing
food packaging.
Is any thought given to colour blindness? Many people cannot distinguish
between RED
and GREEN
or between
GREEN and BLUE
On their own these colours are not a problem but imagine a RED background
with GREEN text, BLUE background with GREEN text.
IT HAPPENS
and we can not read it.

Viva La Difference
This is perhaps the most important
criteria.
Many people with sight problems can see small print, even very small
print if there is good contrast between the background and foreground.

O.K. SO
BLACK and WHITE
IS
BORING
But we can see it.
CLEARLY
A Good Idea
So you do not believe it then go to
