RiotNrrd:When editing the dictionary, it might be wise to include common alternate spellings. An American may or may not think to search for color-related things using the spelling "colour". Ditto for the other standard mismatches: theater/theatre, center/centre, etc.I generally use the Wells dictionary as the starting point for any changes in the Lernu dictionary, and it usually indicates British and American spelling. I always try to remember to add both versions!
I've just noticed that only 'centre' was listed, so I've now added 'center'.

theatre/theater = teatro, fotelo (...stall)fotelo? What does an armchair have to do with a theatre? And what's the idea behind 'stall'?
Anyway, the entry now looks like this:
theatre/theater = (for plays etc) teatro; (med.) operaciejo; (for lectures) prelegejo

Vespero_:I've always used kolorblindeco, but I can see daltonismo as an interesting alternative. I'm colourblind, too (though, I don't believe to your extent).I think it comes down to a Germanic/Romantic difference. The Romantic languages went with the original English, daltonism, while the Germanic language (including English) chose word building with color + blindness in their languages.
