Color Oracle is a colorblindness simulator for Window, Mac
and Linux. It takes the guesswork out of designing for
color blindness by showing you in real time what people
with common color vision impairments will see.
Color Oracle applies a full screen color filter to art you
are designing – independently of the software in use.
Eight percent of all males are affected by color vision
impairment – make sure that your graphical work is
readable by the widest possible audience.

Note
Color Oracle is using the best available
algorithm for simulating color vision impairement. However,
highly saturated color may not simulate well using the
present version of Color Oracle.
