Direct answer
Preview one color or a local image through nine implemented color-vision matrices, then compare the simulated result with normal vision. This is a design-review simulation, not a diagnosis and not a guarantee that every person perceives the result identically. Check contrast and add labels, icons or patterns instead of relying on color alone.
What this tool does
Preview one color or a local image through nine implemented color-vision matrices, then compare the simulated result with normal vision. Review status colors, charts, maps and brand palettes for color-only signals before implementation.
Verified capabilities
Adjust the relevant controls
Color mode updates a simulation grid immediately. Image mode decodes the selected or pasted file in the browser and renders an original-versus-simulated comparison.
Check the accuracy boundary
This is a design-review simulation, not a diagnosis and not a guarantee that every person perceives the result identically. Check contrast and add labels, icons or patterns instead of relying on color alone. Compare the result with the intended destination before reusing it.
When to use it
- Review status colors, charts, maps and brand palettes for color-only signals before implementation.
- Color mode updates a simulation grid immediately. Image mode decodes the selected or pasted file in the browser and renders an original-versus-simulated comparison. In “When to use it 2”, apply this specifically to Color Blindness Simulator for Design Accessibility.
- Review status colors, charts, maps and brand palettes for color-only signals before implementation. Use the first related tool to continue from the output of Color Blindness Simulator for Design Accessibility without changing locale.

Accuracy and limitations
- This is a design-review simulation, not a diagnosis and not a guarantee that every person perceives the result identically. Check contrast and add labels, icons or patterns instead of relying on color alone.
- Clipboard, file decoding, download and permission-based controls follow the capabilities of the current browser.
Processing and privacy
The verified workflow runs in the browser. Files and color values stay in the page unless a control explicitly opens a network URL.
Practical tips
- Start from a known sample, then change one control at a time so the effect remains explainable.
- Review the stated limitation before treating the result as a production or accessibility decision.
Troubleshooting
The input or action does not work
Check the displayed range or file requirement, reset the tool, then retry with a smaller or browser-supported input. Permission-based controls may need a secure context.
