Frequently asked questions

Which kinds of color blindness does it show?

Protanopia and deuteranopia (red and green confusion, together the most common), tritanopia (blue and yellow confusion) and achromatopsia (no color). The severity slider shows milder forms.

How accurate is it?

It is an approximation based on standard color transformation matrices. It is good for spotting colors that become hard to tell apart, but real vision varies from person to person.

What should I do when two colors look alike?

Do not rely on color alone. Add a label, an icon or a pattern, or change one color so it differs in lightness, which color blindness does not affect.

Is my image uploaded?
