See your images through different eyes

This colour vision checker lets you upload a photo and explore how it might look for people with different types of colour vision. It is a simple way to notice shifts in contrast and understand where your visuals might be harder to read.

Why it is helpful

Design is for everyone, and colour plays a big part in how people take in information. For some, reds and greens blend. For others, blues drop away. This tool helps you see those changes for yourself so you can make clearer, more intentional choices in your work.

While this is not a perfect representation of every person’s unique vision, it does follow respected research models and will give you a strong sense of how your colours are performing.

A nod to the research

These colour vision transformations are based on the work of Gustavo M. Machado, Manuel M. Oliveira and Leandro A. F. Fernandes. Their study helps make these previews possible.
