Frequently asked questions

How common is color blindness in the real world?

Approximately 8% of men and 0.5% of women have some form of it. Deuteranomaly (weak green) is the most widespread, affecting roughly 5% of men.

Why is it vital to test my designs?

UX elements like charts, maps, status indicators (red=bad, green=good) that rely entirely on color can become unreadable. Testing ensures you use patterns or labels instead.

How scientifically accurate is the simulation?

It uses standard Brettel/Viénot-based approximation matrices widely accepted in professional accessibility tools, providing a highly accurate guide.
