O narzędziu Colour Blindness Simulator

This simulator shows how colours look to people with different kinds of colour blindness. Enter colours to get the hex value a person with each condition sees, or choose a picture and see four simulated versions beside the original.

Protanopia and deuteranopia make red and green hard to separate, tritanopia affects blue and yellow, and achromatopsia is the absence of colour vision. The simulation shows the general effect, and real vision varies between people.

Jak korzystać z narzędzia Colour Blindness Simulator

  1. Type colours as hex values, one per line, to see the simulated values.
  2. Or choose a picture to see it as each type of colour blindness sees it.
  3. Use what you see to choose colours that stay distinct.

Typowe zastosowania

  • Checking a chart or map for colours that are hard to tell apart
  • Testing a brand palette for accessibility
  • Reviewing a design before it is published
  • Teaching how colour blindness changes what people see

Najczęstsze pytania

How common is colour blindness?

It affects about 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women, and red and green confusion is the most common kind.

How accurate is the simulation?

It uses a standard model of how the eye responds. It shows the general effect, but real vision varies, and many people have a milder form than the full conditions shown here.

What can I do to make a design work for everyone?

Do not rely on colour alone. Add labels, icons or patterns, and keep strong differences in lightness between colours that carry meaning.

What is the difference between the four types?

Protanopia is missing red cones, deuteranopia is missing green cones, tritanopia is missing blue cones and achromatopsia means no colour is seen, only light and dark.
