Tools for working simulating color vision deficiency¶

When working with color, it is important to consider how people with color vision deficiencies will perceive your images. arcadia_pycolor implements tools to simulate color vision deficiencies in Arcadia's colors.

Color vision deficiencies¶

There are three main types of color vision deficiencies:

• Protanopia: insensitivity to red light
• Deuteranopia: insensitivity to green light
• Tritanopia: insensitivity to blue light

arcadia_pycolor implements tools to simulate these deficiencies in Arcadia's colors.
