How to use the Colour Blindness

Types of colour blindness

Deuteranopia (red-green, green-weak) affects 5% of males. Protanopia (red-green, red-weak) affects 1% of males. Tritanopia (blue-yellow) is rare. Achromatopsia (complete colour blindness) is very rare. Together, some form of colour blindness affects roughly 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women.

Designing for accessibility

Never rely on colour alone to convey information. Use patterns, icons or labels alongside colour. Check that text has sufficient contrast under all simulations. The WCAG 2.1 AA standard requires 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text.
