Along those lines, I'm curious how flat design looks to those who are color blind (8% of men), as it seems to rely primarily on color for distinguishing various UI elements.

I'm colorblind and I usually don't have an issue with flat design. I rather like it.

I do tend to rely more on light/dark than hue, and if a hue is too similar, light/dark is my only visual cue. For example, in similar shades of red and green, red usually "looks darker."

It's fine providing there is contrast.
