Well, but how about if you're colourblind then?  Why not reduce the 
number of keys to, say, 12 (since there are way too many anyhow), 
and, apart from colouring them, also give them these different 
bump-configurations they also use on money -- so (colour-) blind can 
feel their way around?
I'd like that as I usually play with my eyes closed when I''m in a 
(muscial) trance...

Might have to do with different string tension maybe.  I mean, 
bending the string will increase tension which in turn will probably 
affect the relative volume of overtones.  Pitchbend otoh does nothing 
but shift the pitch.

Or is this nonsense?
