If you’re interested in designing UIs with colors that take into consideration people with different abilities, here’s a list of tools that might help you. So I put together a list of cool tools that might help you too!īut first, let’s talk about colorblindness a bit.
#Color oracle color blind how to#
It’s my secret superpower, yo! It has also sparked my interest in how to design for accessibility. So, as a designer, having this condition has helped me design stuff more obviously. And user interfaces can be frustrating when they only use color to denote a state, a notification, or a necessary action. Or when vital information, like in a graph, depends too much on color to be understood. For example, when you are trying to read some text that is over a background with a color that doesn’t create enough contrast. Not gonna lie, it gets irritating in some instances. Some people even go all of their life without knowing they have this condition - like my mom, who just found out recently. You can live your life with color blindness normally, with some hassles here and there.
I don’t have an ON/OFF switch that allows me to see the difference. The truth is that I don’t even know what I’m missing out. I just recently found out that the Golden Gate Bridge is red - even though I lived in SF for some time! This causes me to confuse hues for example, I think that something is green when it’s actually orange. I still see colors I just don’t see as many colors. They are baffled by the idea of someone that can make things look pretty but can’t see color.īut that’s because the term “colorblind” is pretty misleading.
Whenever I have to tell people that I’m colorblind, it sparks their curiosity, especially since I’m a designer.
