1. If you're struggling to read a color-coded map, use the Color Filter to make the colors easy to distinguish. * Pass a color vision test (it turns out there really are numbers in those dots!
2. Color Blind Pal is packed with powerful features to make sure you never need anyone else's help seeing colors.
3. Color Blind Pal helps people who are color blind see the colors around them.
4. Or, do you have normal color vision and want to know what someone who's color blind sees?
5. If someone gives you a green form and a yellow form and asks you to fill out the green one, open the Color Inspector to tell which is which.
6. It also lets people with normal vision see what it's like to be color blind.
7. Use the Color Filter to shift colors that are hard to distinguish toward colors that you can easily distinguish.
8. Now you don't need to ask a friend - just open the Color Inspector to get a descriptive name, like "bold brown".
9. Open the preferences (with the ⓘ button) to select your color blindness type.
10. Press "Inspecting Color" or "Filtering Colors" to switch between the two modes.
11. The Color Filter can also simulate any type of color blindness.
1. Some advanced features are tricky to understand, but worth it! For those pointing out that the color names aren't always intuitive, note that color perception is an incredibly complex topic, and our eyes and brains are always adjusting to the surroundings with our own notion of white balance, which an app can't possibly reproduce.It'd be great if there were a red-green colorblind option in the non-simulation color blind type.
2. I have protanopia (red deficiency), but when I choose that as the type I have and use the shift option, it doesn't help me much with the color blind test patterns...a little bit, if I really focused.
3. This is fabulous for a color blind user like me! It makes it easy to identify basic colors, but also possible to highlight colors you're interested in in cool ways.
4. Now I don't have to avoid wearing or using certain colors that I have trouble identifying, or asking others to tell me what color things are.
5. I did have a little bit of frustration while fine tuning the settings, but once I got it set up I was so happy with it.Dude this was great! as a person who has strong protanopia I really liked this app and its help! I'm still new but it works great.
6. other then that I totally recommend this!Thanks for this app! I have green-red color blindness.
7. Please provide an option that gives just simple color descriptions.
8. OR the ability to check more than one of the option types...it is a superd application for those of us who are colorblind.
9. I would like to suggest the developers to implement a facility into this application so that we might be able to check the colours in a picture from our pictures in the gallery.
10. My sons have used this app for homework help when maps or graphs use hard to distinguish colors.
11. The color detection is not perfect, but that is largely due to technical limitations and the camera.
