Last night I just found the "Colorblind Textures" option in the config files for KingLemming's Thermal Expansion mod.
THANK YOU KINGLEMMING!

I just found the Thermal Expansion "Colorblind" setting...

the color blind settings are for people who suffer from some form of color blindness and it helps them see better to have it in black and white because some of the colors tend blend together so they can't tell red from yellow. depending on the degree of color blindness
I know that this may seem like a super trivial feature for normal-visioned folks, but we of the colorblind variety really appreciate it.
You know the normal colored ports in Thermal Expansion machines? Blue / Purple / Green for input fields, Orange / Red / Yellow for output fields. They are the single feature that I absolutely love about Thermal Expansion's machines. However if you are rather colorblind as I am, adjusting those ports can be big pain (once you configure them however, you can generally just leave them alone)! Well if you turn on the "Colorblind Textures" field, you see the following...

(Not sure why image insert doesn't work right for me but hey..)
The ports are still colored, but they are done through a number of colored DOTS. A port on the top of the machine with one dot.. corresponds to the item box in the machine with the same number of dots! Now I just have to match up the dots in the item boxes in the machine.. to where I want the same number of dots on the SIDE of the machine! SUPER EASY!

This is the kind of feature that separates an exceptional product from the rest. I applaud the developers for taking the time to implement it.
I'm not colorblind, but there are times when I'm playing a game and they have these annoying "Remember the color and order" type puzzles where I'm thinking, "Great, that just eliminated a whole segment of the population".
I am completely colorblind (yes COMPLETELY), so there are parts of MineCraft that are already hard enough. That is one of the primary reasons I turn on the Highlighted Block tooltip on with NEI. Everything else, I have to use a tiny Windows app called "What Color?" that just tells me the color under my pointer, makes lots of games workable for me. Features like this one in Thermal Expansion by KingLemming make things SO much easier for me, I don't have to memorize click order and click numbers to get to a specific color anymore. YAY!
Quite welcome. 
I kinda wish one of my wiki guys would feature that more prominently. The wiki needs a rewrite, but I just don't have the time or drive to handle both the code and the wiki right now.

I love that he puts so much time/thought into his mod, that it works SO well, and that he interacts with the community regularly.
Quite welcome.
Just so you know, it's features like this that make you look like a pro. Would that every modder paid even half as much attention to the details as you do. Even your log traces are good. Heck, your method names are even well-chosen in stack traces.
Quite welcome.
Keep up the good work Mr King, your mod and your conduct are amazing
In a mod so color based, an accessibility tweak like this is awesome! Very well done.
They're in the folder "cofh". Includes TE, OmniTools, and the Lexicon list.

That explains why i couldn't find it. I'll have a go at finding them again when i get home. Thanks again for this king lemming
KingLemming is constantly interfacing with the community: between posting here regularly, being in the various ForgeCraft1/2 videos, he is actually very easy to spot and communicate with. He's always got a great attitude about things and is ALWAYS willing to pitch in technical information and answers about his mods.
KingLemming rules!
