Abstract
Color vision deficiency is common, affecting one in every 12 men. Despite its prevalence, displays are seldom designed to accommodate color-vision-deficient (CVD) users, who confront daily challenges interpreting color in a broad range of applications, whether weather displays, informational graphics, road signs, or computer interfaces. In this article we discuss the prevalence of color deficiency, its effects, and the availability of tools that enable design teams to evaluate candidate solutions that meet the needs of CVD users, thereby ensuring universal accessibility.
