Bought a $30 color blindness simulator plugin and it saved my client work
I design signs and wayfinding for a living, and last month a client asked me to check their new building's color scheme for accessibility. I spent $30 on a plugin that simulates deuteranopia and protanopia in real time. It showed me my green and red arrows were basically invisible together. Reworked the whole palette in about 2 hours based on what it showed me. Client never noticed the change, but I felt better knowing it actually works. Has anyone else used one of these simulators and found a specific color combo that always tricks them?

Hold on, doesn't deuteranopia and protanopia just affect red and green? I thought the red and green arrows being invisible together was the whole point. Isn't that what you'd expect from those types of color blindness?
