<p>Color Oracle is a free app that makes simulating color blindness easy, allowing for a real time look at how those with different types of color impairments will view images on screen. The utility “<em>takes the guesswork out of designing for color blindness</em>” and according to it’s developers, uses the best available algorithm for simulating color recognition impairments.</p>

<p>Color Oracle is available as a free download for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, and a valuable addition to any designers toolkit.</p>

<p>Considering that color blindness effects as high as 8% of the male population, if you’re a print, web, or app designer, you’ll want to know what your creations will look like to those who are affected. </p>
