Sip includes support for simulating how colors appear to people with different types of color vision deficiencies. With a single toggle, you can preview your palettes through the lens of:
Normal – Standard color perception
Protanopia – Red-weak vision
Deuteranopia – Green-weak vision
Tritanopia – Blue-yellow color blindness
Achromatopsia – Total color blindness (no color perception)
Color blindness affects over 300 million people worldwide. With this feature, you can:
Instantly simulate different types of color vision
Validate accessibility in your designs
Ensure your palettes are inclusive and legible for everyone
Whether you’re a designer, developer, or accessibility advocate, this tool helps you build more inclusive visuals in Sip.You’ll find the simulation modes in the Color Blindness control in the bottom bar. Pick one to see your palettes transform in real time.
When you select a simulation mode, the Color Picker updates in real time to reflect the chosen mode, such as Tritanopia. This helps you preview and validate your color choices for accessibility.
Combine simulation with contrast checking for a full accessibility audit!
