FAQ

How common is color blindness?

About 8% of men and 0.5% of women have some form of color vision deficiency. Red-green (Deuteranopia/Protanopia) is the most common.

How should I design for color blindness?

Don't rely on color alone to convey information. Use patterns, icons, labels, and sufficient contrast. Test with this simulator.

Are the simulations accurate?

They use standard color transformation matrices that approximate how each type of CVD perceives color. They're widely used in accessibility tools.
