Simulations use the Machado et al. (2009) color vision deficiency matrices. About 1 in 12 men has some form of color blindness - always check critical UI colors.

How to Use

  1. Enter a hex color or use the color picker.
  2. Compare the original with three color-blindness simulations.
  3. Adjust your palette until key colors stay distinguishable.
