Ever Wondered What its Like to be Colour Blind?

May 13th, 2006

Around 8% of the Irish male population has some form of colour blindness. Vischeck allows you to view webpages and images as they would appear to someone who is colour blind. Have a look at Google, for example:

Deuteranope (a form of red/green color deficit):
Google Deuteranope
Tritanope (a blue/yellow deficit - very rare):
Google Tritanope

Theres some interesting stuff there, they also provide a Daltonizer which corrects colour blindness to a degree.
