Some of these palettes aren't accessible to the colorblind. For example, "gorgeous light lavender" and "endothermic neon blue" are identical to me.

- starkd 6y agoI don't even recognize the adjectives used. Might as well be randomly generated.
- 2J0 6y agoI don't recognise the adjectives used in modern speech or even the papers. I suffered a massive memory loss rendering almost all of past ten years cut from my experience during my recovery. In the meantime language changed sufficiently to reduce me to a children's reading age.

- IgorPartola 6y agoIs there some piece of software that can change my screen to show me what a colorblind person would see? I know red/green is a no no for like 5% of people, but us there some way to do this systematically?

- mpetroff 6y agoUnfortunately, this uses a horribly inaccurate algorithm that's been floating around the internet for more than a decade [1]. It seems that the Firefox dev tools do the same thing [2]. As far as I'm concerned, this is worse than not having such a simulation at all, since it gives people a false sense of accommodating individuals with color vision deficiencies. The Colorspacious Python library [3] does a proper job, using the algorithm of Machado et al. (2009) [4], which is what's considered state-of-the-art.

- hoten 6y agoThanks for taking the time to write this. I shared it with the team.
- 2J0 6y agoEizo provide a variety of tools with their displays: https://www.eizo.com/products/coloredge/unicolor_pro/ https://www.eizo.com/products/coloredge/unicolor_pro/ I have a strong interest in learning more from you if you are as able ever to be a independent Guinea pig? Above I have splurted aloud my sudden but not inconsistent desire to create a free for open source software color names reference and good color description should be mandatory for public information websites imnsho

- zeta0134 6y agoThey appear to be scraped from a twitter bot which generates the palettes semi-randomly, so this isn't terribly surprising: https://twitter.com/colorschemez https://twitter.com/colorschemez
- 2J0 6y agoGood monitors have modes for some color blindness corrections. I'm extremely embarrassed by the paucity of my domain knowledge and you are right for calling out this need because color blindness is far more prevalent than generally accepted. We all don't possess any reference on our brains. More data enters the optic nerve pathway from out brains than from our eyes.
