Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1
    Open the Color Blindness demo. This page uses color as the only way to convey information.
  2. 2
    In the side panel header, click the "Normal vision" dropdown.
  3. 3
    Select Protanopia (red-blind) — the page transforms in real time.
  4. 4
    Notice that the red/green status indicators become indistinguishable.
  5. 5
    Try Deuteranopia (green-blind), Tritanopia (blue-blind), and Achromatopsia (total color blindness).
  6. 6
    Check if important information is still understandable without color. If not, the page fails WCAG 1.4.1 Use of Color.
  7. 7
    Select "Normal vision" to reset.
