Hi folks,
I'm a colorblind hobbyist, and I've been attempting to get a better grip on color analysis tools that are effectively useful for people like me who have color vision deficiencies. What I find really maddening is that a lot of apps and online quizzes assume perfect color perception, so the results end up feeling off or misleading. For example, some tools mark certain colors as "best for me" that I just can't tell apart from similar shades, which makes picking clothes or makeup pretty overwhelming rather than fun.
Recently, I found a review of color analysis apps that highlighted some with colorblind modes or specific accessibility features designed to serve limited color vision. It seemed like a step in the right direction because those apps try to compensate for what we might wrestle with in color identification. I'm attaching the link here in case anyone else is searching: what color looks best on me
What I'm still questioning about, though, is how consistent these tools are in practice. Have any of you found apps or methods that genuinely make it more straightforward to figure out your color palette without having to second-guess whether the results are accurate? Maybe there's a way to mix technology with other cues like lighting or undertone tests that I haven't thought of yet.
If you have experience or insights for accessible color analysis resources that focus on usability for colorblind users, I'd really welcome to hear about them. It's hard to navigate this space when so much of the advice out there assumes normal color vision, so any tips on what works well or what to avoid would be useful.
Thanks for reading and for any insights you might share!
