Color Vision Simulation

I also can't use the red-green colormodes in slack, iOS, mac, etc. because it makes the colors too... weird.

I often wonder if it's because the colors that I see, grew up with and label as "red" and "green" are actually different to what other people see as "red" and "green". But since we all just use these words to describe color, I would never know if the world that I see is similar to what everyone else sees.

Maybe the colorfilters do make things look 'real' and the red that comes out after the filter is the real red like how other people see it. But I'm already too used to "my red" that the "real red" just looks fake and odd.

Considering that these are developer tools, *anomaly-variants could be considered "milder" forms of the *anopia-variants, and further come in various degrees.

Further, people with the *anomaly variants can have severe headaches with certain color-schemes, and the best thing to avoid any misunderstandings, is to check for "safe-for-anopia", or/or use a scheme that avoids these altogether, which will also serve everyone on the *anomaly-spectrum.

But that's just my speculation.

The real issue is using a colour photo like the one used in the article because this doesn’t demonstrate the effect of low contrast - a demonstration of lost contrast is much better with bodies of text against problematic background colours, since there is an immediately obvious reduction in legibility, rather than a bit of flourish in a photo.
