/ About /

Color Oracle is a free, open-source color blindness simulator that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It applies a full-screen color filter in real time to whatever is currently on your screen, showing designers how people with common color vision impairments perceive their work. It operates independently of any specific design software, making it broadly compatible.

/ How it works /

The app applies a real-time full-screen color filter simulating various types of color blindness, regardless of which software is being used.

/ Who it's for /

Graphic designers and UI/UX professionals
