Colors for the Color Blind

Links to Other Sites

Very Interesting Color Tools: Here is an interesting site that purports to display colors in such a way as to see them with normal color vision and to show to a person with normal color vision what they would look like to someone who has different kinds of color blindness. Interesting concept! I can't critique it very well since I'm color blind to start with... but may may find it of considerable interest... Check it out at:
http://colorlab.wickline.org/colorblind/colorlab/
It is a little cumbersome to use and to get into it you'll need to read at least some of the accompanying documentation - but if it is useful to you, that part should be well worthwhile!

Same site as above - for checking out existing pages: http://colorfilter.wickline.org/colorblind/filter/
This page allows you to enter a web page URL and brings it back supposedly as a colorblind person sees it. It looks the same to me! (but, it would, wouldn't it, since I'm colorblind)
