My brother's deck redesign taught me more about color contrast than any tutorial
He painted his deck last summer with a dark brown stain that looked fine to me, but his colorblind buddy kept tripping on the edges where the stairs started. After a few beers we sat down and looked at the whole thing again under different lighting. Turns out the step edges blended into the deck surface because the brown shades were too close together. He went back and painted just the front edge of each step with a lighter tan stripe, and now his buddy can navigate the stairs fine even at dusk. Has anyone else run into this kind of thing with outdoor spaces or flooring patterns?

Light colored tape on tool handles works too for contrast.
