Research Abstract	The concept of color universal design should be considered in today`s healthcare environment. But,it is not easy for colorblind people to distinguish color vision under actual environment(as follows:directional sign, brochure, package, triage tag, etc.). So,we examined how to improve the adaptability of colorblind people, and proposed that some drawing technique should be adopted with keeping original color image. The effective technique was hatching or separation.
