Hi all, At my company we try to keep our website colorblind-friendly. I decided to spend my free time building an extension to help me do that and realized I could share this experience with the world. What is surprising is how different everything looks for colorblind people - it's not just black and white like you might expect. It works by placing a CSS filter over the page that distorts colors similarly to actual colorblindness-distortion. This is my first Chrome Extension - I would love to hear your feedback! Cheers, Andrew

This is neat but there is something quite wrong with the protanomaly/protanopia simulation. Look how it effects blue: normal: https://i.imgur.com/icgmrI6.png https://i.imgur.com/icgmrI6.png protanopia simulation: https://i.imgur.com/3FKU4eT.png https://i.imgur.com/3FKU4eT.png It adds a ton of red instead of removing it. Blues should be largly unaffected by protanomaly (though purples will turn to blue)
