Frequently Asked Questions
A Color Blindness Simulator is an accessibility testing tool that transforms images to simulate how they appear to people with different types of Color Vision Deficiency (CVD), such as Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia, and Achromatopsia.
Yes, 100%. All image processing is performed entirely client-side inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas array buffers. Your images are never uploaded to any external server or API.
Protanopia is caused by the total absence of red L-cone photoreceptors, making red hues appear dark brown or black. Deuteranopia is caused by the absence of green M-cone photoreceptors, causing green hues to appear beige or greyish. Both are forms of red-green color blindness.
Tritanopia is a rare form of blue-yellow color vision deficiency caused by the absence of blue S-cone photoreceptors. People with Tritanopia perceive blue as greenish and yellow as pinkish or grey.
Achromatopsia is complete monochromacy or total color blindness. Individuals with Achromatopsia cannot perceive any color hues and view the world exclusively in shades of black, white, and gray.
Designers should avoid using color as the sole indicator for information. Incorporate iconography, text labels, distinct patterns, and ensure high luminance contrast (WCAG AA/AAA standards) between text and background elements.
