Adapting website design for people with color-blindness

TL;DR

This paper explores methods to adapt website designs for color-blind users by analyzing color models, algorithms for simulating color blindness, and developing filters to improve accessibility.

Contribution

It introduces a systematic approach to convert color models and implement algorithms for color filtration tailored to different types of color blindness.

Findings

Formulas for RGB to HSL conversion are provided.

Algorithms for simulating and filtering colors for dichromacy are systematized.

The study's results are intended for use in developing accessible web designs.

Abstract

The aim of the study is the description of problem of developing web design for people with color blindness. The objectives of the study are familiarising with the exiting algorithms of simulation color blindness and searching the most appropriate color models to realize a filter of disputed colors. The object of the study is the convertation of color models and algorithms of filtration. The subject of the study are methods of recognition disputed colors. In the study were investigated the problems of color blind people, examined the basic concepts of trichromatic color vision theory, substantiated the necessity of changing different types of color models, given formulas convertation from RGB-color model to HSL-color model, systematized the algorithms of imitation and filtration of colors for different types of dichromacy: protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia. The results of the study are planned using in development of adapting website design for people with color blindness.
