Features

The Color Blindness Simulator is based on the Brettel/Viénot algorithm. It simulates how colors and images appear under 8 common types of color vision deficiencies, helping designers and developers ensure their interfaces are friendly to color-blind users.

  • Protanopia:Inability to perceive red light. Red appears darker or yellowish.
  • Deuteranopia:Inability to perceive green light. Green and red are easily confused.
  • Tritanopia:Inability to perceive blue light. Blue and yellow are hard to distinguish.
  • Achromatopsia:Complete inability to perceive color. Only grayscale is visible.
  • Protanomaly:Reduced sensitivity to red light. Red saturation appears lower.
  • Deuteranomaly:Reduced sensitivity to green light. The most common color vision deficiency.
  • Tritanomaly:Reduced sensitivity to blue light. Blue saturation appears lower.
  • Blue Cone Monochromacy:Only blue cone cells function. Vision is close to grayscale.

How to Use

  • Select Color: Use the color picker or enter a HEX code manually. You can also click a preset color for quick selection.
  • Color Simulation: See in real time how the selected color appears under 8 color vision deficiencies. Click a color block to copy the simulated HEX value.
  • Image Simulation: After uploading an image, switch between grid view and comparison view to see how it looks from a color-blind perspective.
  • Palette Score: Add multiple colors to the palette and the system will automatically calculate friendliness scores for each type of color blindness.
  • Alternative Color Recommendations: When scores are low, the system recommends color-blind friendly alternative colors for reference.

Tip: About 8% of men and 0.5% of women worldwide have some form of color vision deficiency. Always consider color-blind accessibility in your designs.
