Accessibility color wheel

[Giacomo Mazzocato]

Hi all,

this is to introduce you the accessibility color wheel, a tool I
realized which could be useful when choosing the colors for an accessible
website.

The address is http://gmazzocato.altervista.org/colorwheel/wheel.php
It analyzes a pair of colors and shows how people affected by
various kind of color blindnesses see it. In other words it simulates
daltonism and tells you if a color pair is suitable for instance as a
text/background pair in a accessible web site.

I tried to make it user friendly. If you have any question or proposals to
improve it, don't hesitate to contact me here or by email at
gmazzocato@libero.it

Bye,
Giacomo

Bye,
Giacomo

Cool tool - I've bookmarked it.

Thanks, but a page whose content appears and disappears as you move the
mouse around is not what I'd expect from someone concerned with
accessibility.
