They could have made that issue last all week...Rather than dick around with colours I just type N O T I N in any week I'm off.Every hour of every day was subdivided into different study periods, each labelled in his lovely, tiny copperplate hand; then painted over in watercolours, a different colour for each subject, the colours gradually becoming bolder and more urgent shades as the exam time approached. The effect was as if a myriad tiny rainbows had splintered and sprinkled across the poster-sized sheet of creamwove card.
Balls to the lot of them.

I would look at the spreadsheet, sigh very loudly - then point out that being colour blind is a disability and they wouldn't want to discriminate......
They might as well spend another 3 hours working out what colours work.
