Today I discovered https://www.whocanuse.com and I wanted to yell it to the world, but 56 people will have to do.

bluestarultor@tech.lgbt@marcamos Bookmarking this!
And maybe I can offer another in exchange. I use COBLIS for graphics testing: https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/
It's geared to simulating colorblindness for whole images. Both might be useful for different reasons.

@marcamos it’s wonderful, I’ve known it for some time too

@daria There are probably so many more cool tools I don’t know about.

@marcamos This is really cool. I'm going to send it to my color blind family members.

werefox@yiff.life@marcamos holy shit, this is exactly what I wanted when I was looking for ways to help make my own site more accessible, thank you. Tools like this are so useful in helping devs understand how to make the web more accessible.

hank@mastodon.design@marcamos @daria https://www.myndex.com/APCA/ is an actually good one that uses a perceptually based algorithm for calculating a contrast score. Current WCAG is actually pretty garbage (though AFAIK the next version will adopt a very similar system to this! The future, but now!)

@marcamos This is definitely a very useful site. However, I would like to point out that it has a common error among colorblind simulations:
Achromatomaly is not a real condition. It's the result of a pair of misunderstandings by developers of colorblind simulations -- one thinking that anomalous Achromatopsia (an outdated term for blue cone monochromacy) could be simulated using the same methods used for anomalous trichromacy (it cannot), and another adjusting the name to fit the pattern of an "-opia" version of a condition and an "-omaly" version of a condition (in the names of real conditions, it's supposed to be interpreted as "-anopia" and "-anomaly")
It's worth noting that achromatomaly simulations happen to be good simulations of what a combination of protanomaly and tritanomaly can be expected to be like. I use that wording because, to the best of my knowledge, there are no known cases of that.
Here's a video of someone who dove down this rabbithole: https://youtu.be/kYZ00B5O_VQ

@marcamos Is it bad that now I'm just trying to find color combinations that work for everyone except trichromatic vision?
