Welcome back

Three colors of the same luminance and saturation with hues that are adjacent on the color wheel, 30 degrees apart. Smooth transitions.

Color blindness affects approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women worldwide. This simulator helps designers, developers, and content creators understand how their color choices appear to people with various forms of color vision deficiency.

By testing your colors through different color blindness simulations, you can ensure your designs are accessible and effective for all users. This tool simulates the most common types of color vision deficiency including Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia, and complete color blindness.

Understanding Color Blindness

Use contrast and patterns alongside color to convey information.

Design Better

Blue-Yellow Blindness (Tritanopia)

Check how a color is perceived by people with different types of color blindness to create more accessible designs. Understanding color perception helps ensure your content is accessible to everyone.

Color alone should never be the only way to convey information. Testing with this simulator helps identify potential issues.

Different color spaces are optimized for specific purposes - from accurate color reproduction to efficient data compression.

Why Use Technical Formats

Two sets of complementary colors, separated by 60 degrees of hue.

Lighter variations created by adding white to your base color.

Three colors spaced evenly along the color wheel, each 120 degrees of hue apart. Best to allow one color to dominate and use the others as accents.

The purpose of this section is to accurately produce tints (pure white added) and shades (pure black added) of your selected color in 10% increments.

These variations form the foundation of a cohesive color palette. Export them to maintain consistency across your entire project.

Use shades for hover states and shadows, tints for highlights and backgrounds.

Choose a color using the color picker for text and background color or enter a color in RGB hexadecimal format (e.g., #259 or #2596BE). You can adjust the slider to select color. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) has a specific guideline to help figure out whether text is readable for sighted users. This criteria uses a particular algorithm to map color combinations into comparable ratios.  Using this formula, WCAG states that a 4.5:1 color contrast ratio with text and its background is adequate for regular (body) text, and large text (18+ pt regular, or 14+ pt bold) should have at least a 3:1 color contrast ratio.

Test color combinations to ensure they meet WCAG accessibility standards for text readability.

Color Contrast Checker: With this online tool you can get details about the contrast ratio of text and background colors 123456. 

Color Contrast Checker: 123456

Enhanced contrast ratio of 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text. Recommended for optimal accessibility.

Minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Required for most websites.
