Try this toolWhy Accessibility Matters
Approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women have some form of color vision deficiency. That means millions of people worldwide experience colors differently than you might expect. Designing with accessibility in mind ensures that your message reaches everyone clearly, regardless of how they perceive color.
Beyond helping those with color vision differences, accessible design improves usability for everyone. High contrast text is easier to read in bright sunlight. Clear visual hierarchies help users navigate quickly. Thoughtful color choices reduce eye strain and cognitive load. When you design inclusively, everyone benefits.
Common Types of Color Vision Deficiency
Deuteranomaly
The most common type, involving reduced sensitivity to green light
Protanopia & Protanomaly
Reduced or absent sensitivity to red light
Deuteranopia
Absence of green-sensitive cone cells
Tritanopia & Tritanomaly
Reduced or absent sensitivity to blue light, less common
Achromatopsia
Complete color blindness, very rare

What is WCAG and why does it matter?
WCAG stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, which are international standards for making web content more accessible to everyone. These guidelines include specific requirements for color contrast ratios to ensure text remains readable for people with various vision capabilities. Meeting WCAG standards helps your website reach a wider audience and often improves the overall user experience for all visitors. Our WCAG Contrast Checker makes it simple to verify that your color combinations meet these important standards.
Can these tools be used for educational purposes?
Absolutely. Chromivo tools are perfect for learning about color accessibility and understanding how different types of color vision affect perception. Teachers, students, and anyone interested in inclusive design can use our simulators to explore these concepts in a hands-on way. Our Color Vision Test for Kids is specifically designed with educational settings in mind, offering a simplified approach that works well for younger learners and demonstrations.
How accurate are the color vision simulations?
Our simulators use established algorithms to approximate how colors appear with different types of color vision deficiency. While these simulations provide helpful visual references for design work, individual experiences can vary. The tools are designed to help you make more informed design decisions and identify potential accessibility issues, but they should be viewed as educational aids rather than precise representations. For actual vision assessment, we recommend consulting with an eye care professional.
