Let's get color blind

Simulates information a color blind person receives and/or adds a daltonization filter
What is Let's get color blind?
Let's get color blind is a Chrome extension designed to raise awareness of color vision deficiency by providing a mechanism to simulate various forms of colorblindness. By experimenting with different severities of color vision deficiencies, users can learn about colorblindness and improve web accessibility. Additionally, the extension features a daltonization filter aiming at enhancing color perception for color vision deficient individuals. Results may vary based on the severity of the individual's condition.
