I’m always hunting for the next little tool that will help me solve a problem or simply view an issue under a different light. The Colorblind Web Page Filter performs a simple scan of a site’s color palette and then converts those colors to the nearest viewable color as seen by people with color-limited vision. It helps tremendously. For the first time, I can view sites through colorblind “eyes” to gain a little perspective on what color combinations are difficult to read. I’ve been doing some reading on contrast lately, so it’s very timely for me to find this particular resource.

I came upon the filter while perusing AboutURL, a nifty site that is prepared for researching information about any URL. Also a very handy little resource. It’s one of those, “Now why didn’t I think of compiling that?” kind of sites. :)
