Case 15309 - Adding message for test result

Hi, I'm planning to solve Case 15309:

https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/15309/adding-message-for-test-result

Personally, I'm not sure what is needed, and I would prefer to do this change at the request of an actual color blind person who needs it and can provide real feedback on the issue.

But that's why I'm tackling this case:

To determine whether we should do something about it, and what

or to close it

That can be an easy fix so that would be sad to close it that fast.
You can maybe use the method "Object inform: 'text' ". This method
will display a little window at the bottom left of your World.

There are different types of colour-blindess. I have a friend with one that see predominantly one colour (e.g blue) and the other kid sees predominantly another colour(e.g.yellow). I don't think any one colourblind person will give broadly applicable results. I think we'll do better addressessing general design principles [1] [2] and testing software[3].
