Colorblindly

Simulates colorblindness in your web browser.

What is Colorblindly?

"Colorblindly" is a Chrome extension designed to help web developers understand the visual experiences of people with colorblindness. By simulating 8 types of color vision deficiencies, including various forms of monochromacy, and anomalies affecting red, green, and blue vision, it allows creators to view their websites as colorblind users do. This tool is vital for designing inclusive and accessible online content. Note: Colorblindly does not function on Chrome's own domains; use it on other websites for full effect.
