Here is a texture pack devoted directly to those who are color blind or have color deficiencies. I personally have a color deficiency, and i have a difficult time telling apart the diamonds from the iron (this makes up for some great disappointments).  Tell me any feed back you may have for this, I love hearing suggestions and criticism alike.
There are two options; you can download the original color pack (download is off to the side) or you can download the default textures for minecraft, but with the color fixes (link is here)

What's New with this texture pack's update?
> Added a new option for the default terrain with Color blind fixes!
 Click here if you wish to download this version! Default color pack


REMEMBER 
* Coal - Squares
* Iron - Triangles
* Gold - Lines
* Redstone - Hexagons
* Emeralds - Pentagon
* Diamonds - Circles


Wool textures FINISHED! WOOT!
Here's how it goes. Every base color has a specific shape (i.e. red - hexagon.) and each color that is similar to that base color (i.e. pink is to red) their shape is the same just cut in half. 

- White.............. I shaped
- Black.............. Square
- Grey.................Half Square (so triangle)
- Light Grey........ Half of Half a Square (so a smaller triangle)
- yellow............... t shaped
- orange............. X shaped
- green.............. Octagon 
- Lime................ Half Octagon
- Red..................Hexagon
- Pink................. Half Hexagon
- Brown.............. Poop shaped (i had no other ideas for this one :l)

The blues are a bit different. 
There are 5 colors for the one shape. the circle. 
Purple, Magenta, Blue, Light blue and Cyan.
Blue is the base color; the circle. 
Purple and Magenta are the ones with X's through the middle. (Thick is purple, thin is magenta.)
Light blue is the half circle.
Cyan is the 3/4's of a circle. (I will probably change this to a crescent.)

Sorry the wool's took so long. i had to redo and redraw them many times to get a pattern and method that I liked.

Help spread the word to all those in need by giving it a diamond and even a favorite!

Question!
I spent a long time trying to get the cobblestone to look good, tell me what you think about it, how i could improve on it and if i should change it.

is anyone experiencing blue cacti? this could be a bug. i have one reported case of it...

 Color Blindness Test!

If you are color blind, you should see a yellow circle. Color normal people should see a 'faint' brown circle or square and the yellow circle.

If you want to download the regular one then there is a section just under the pictures and to the right. If you would like to download the default one then click the link in the first section then hit "skip ad" in the top right corner and then "download". I hope this was a good enough description and happy mining!

My first post isn't here for some reason.  Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing texture pack.  My Wife is color blind so I went looking for a good texture pack to help her tell minerals apart and yours is the best one around.  I took the liberty of updating your texture pack to 1.4.2.  I hope that is OK!  You can use it if you want.

well I'm niot, and I see a square. you should edit your post to reflect this. otherwise, I'm happy to see this. I have a colorblind friend who has just skipped past countless numbers of diamonds because he thought that they were iron. I made a pack with informative black letters on the ores, but this one is much better than that. thank you!

I'm pretty sure you have the colour blind test description wrong because I'm not colour blind and I see a yellow circle on a green/brown background

For wool blocks do diff patterns
i.e.
white could be swivles.
black, circle.

Of course you would have to have a contrasting color in the back of the patterns to help the pattern stand out.


(I my self am not colorblind although I am told I have a certain color deficient where if to like colors (so many shades close) are beside each other I can not tell them apart) [Lol imagine my disappointment when I am mining light level 0 and come across iron two!]

How is this color blind?

Turtlexing

if your color blind , then it is really hard to tell certain colors apart. and because each ore is the exact same shape just a different color it can be very difficult telling whats what. so i made each ore a distinct shape.
