Professionel de la création graphique et instructeur, j’insiste sur le fait de créer des visuels adaptés à tout le monde. Autant Photoshop et Illustrator permettent aujourd’hui de simuler les deux grands types de daltonisme, autant InDesign, XPress ou les autres ne s’en préoccupent pas. Voici donc une excellente réponse à ce manque. Merci au développeur !

Description
From the perspective of a color blind person, some colors are impossible to distinguish. Sim Daltonism lets you visualize colors as they are perceived with various types of color blindness.
Move the Sim Daltonism window over something on the screen and see what it looks like with a color blindness. With this app you can check the accessibility of websites and other user interfaces, make your visual designs better for color blind people, or just play around to better understand how various color blindness types affect color perception.
The Filter Window
The Sim Daltonism window acts as a filter for what is under it. You can click inside and manipulate windows from other apps that are located under it.
But you can change this so the filter window follows the mouse pointer, displaying the area around it. This makes it possible to view the filtered image alonside the unfiltered one.
Performance
Sim Daltonism is fast enough to filter a video in real time or to have many filter windows active simultanously.
If needed, you can reduce or increase the refresh speed to save energy or improve responsiveness.
Simulated Vision
Sim Daltonism can simulate the vision of many forms of color blindness:
Red-Green
• Deuteranopia (no green cones)
• Deuteranomaly (anomalous green cones)
• Protanopia (no red cones)
• Protanomaly (anomalous red cones)
Blue-Yellow
• Tritanopia (no blue cones)
• Tritanomaly (anomalous blue cones)
All colors
• Monochromacy
• Partial monochromacy
Note that the colors shown are only an approximation. Color blindness varies from person to person and the simulator cannot represent everyone’s vision. Many other factors can affect the results, such as the automatic white point calibration of the camera. Nevertheless, Sim Daltonism is a good tool to better understand color blindness.
Sim Daltonism is open source and is also available for iOS.

L’outil que tout créateur devrait avoir
Schlankes Design, einfache Funktion
Die App hat ein sehr schlankes Design und funktioniert super einfach. Man kann sie über eine andere App legen und diese durch einen Filter bedienen.
Fantastic update
Outstanding application, unique and useful (for color blindness analysis). The updated version is a major redesign and improvement
Awesome
We are doing some accessibility testing for our site and this tool has been immensely helpful in choosing the correct colors for some important charts are graphs. The only issue I had was on multiple monitors it would crash moving between screens. If that bug is fixed this is a 5 star app for accessibility!
An old standby lives up to its reputation
I’ve long used SimDaltonism as a stand-alone app to evaluate how websites appear to those affected by many types of color blindness, and I’m glad to see it’s still around. Any time I use color, I like to do a quick run through all the types (by typing Command-1 through Command-9 in sequence) to get an idea of how differentiable the selected colors are to all users. It’s an important tool supporting what should be a content developer’s highest goal: Ensuring content is equally accessible to all.
Great little app for designers – and am glad that it is free
A must-have for designing with accessibility in mind and for analyzing someone else’s work. Also great for educating other designers on how people with color blindness actually see their work.
