Color Blindness Camera

Show friends and family how the world looks with color blindness. Live, side by side with “normal” color vision, and 100% privately on your device.

Ever tried to explain which colors you can’t tell apart — and gotten a blank look? Color Blindness Camera let you show people instead.

Point the camera at anything and your phone shows people what you see. Or select an image from your photo library.

SIMULATE THE THREE MOST COMMON TYPES OF COLOR BLINDNESS • Protanomaly (red-weak) • Deuteranomaly (green-weak) • Tritanomaly (blue–yellow)

A severity slider runs from normal vision all the way to full dichromacy, so you can match the comparison to your own experience.

WORKS WITH PHOTOS TOO Pick any photo, then pan and pinch-zoom both panes in sync to zero in on the colors you want to compare.

SHARE THE COMPARISON One tap renders a side-by-side comparison card you can preview and share. It’s a simple way to show friends, family, designers, or teachers what you mean.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. The app can only access the single photo you pick.

The simulation uses the physiologically-based model of Machado, Oliveira & Fernandes (2009). It is an educational approximation of color vision deficiency; everyone’s vision differs, and Color Blindness Camera is not a medical or diagnostic tool.
