Accessibility Color Wheel
Choose a foreground color by pointing the mouse over the wheel or the grey bar and click. Then click the "Background" button and choose a background color the same way. If OK becomes visible here below the color pair is good for accessibility. Otherwise change one color or both by selecting foreground or background with the left buttons. Ok in the "C","B" or "Contrast ratio" fields means the contrast/difference in brightness or contrast ratio is good for that form of daltonism.

Vischeck is a way of showing you what things look like to someone who is color blind. You can try Vischeck online- either run Vischeck on your own image files or run Vischeck on a web page. You can also download programs to let you run it on your own computer.
What is it good for?

Roughly 1 in 20 people have some sort of color vision deficiency. The world looks different to these people: they often find it hard to tell red and green things apart. This often means that they sometimes can't see things that 'color normal' people can see (examples).

What is the Luminosity Contrast Ratio Analyser?

Welcome to the Color Laboratory

For those who have been here before, or who prefer to read documentation only in emergencies, begin by using the controls in the frames directly above. The colorpicker to the upper left will allow you to add color swatches.

If you would like to see your own web site through color blind eyes, please try the web page color filter, currently in early development. Your feedback regarding the colorlab and/or color filter is appreciated. Please email aware-colorlab@hwg.org.

About AccessColor

AccessColor tests the color contrast and color brightness between the foreground and background of all elements in the DOM to make sure that the contrast is high enough for people with visual impairments. Assuring that you provide enough color contrast between foreground and background colors takes time and we hope that this tool will help web developers to build accessible websites by visually flagging the section(s) of a page with problematic color combinations. AccessColor will find the relevant colour combinations within your HTML and CSS documents rather than requiring you to find each value to input yourself in order to test the contrast between each colour combination.
