#3It is always interesting for me, as someone who is colorblind (Protanopia), to see these. I always have to call my wife in and ask if the images look different. She is always amazed that I can't tell the difference.
The original image and the Protanopia image are exactly the same to me.
The Deuteranopi looks very slightly different -- if I really stare at it. The other do indeed look different.

This is really interesting to hear. I am also red-green colorblind (Protanopia) but the difference between the normal and Protanopia images here is very noticeable to me. I can see that red is missing in the Protanopia version.
I definitely have trouble with many shades of some colors, especially if the colors are really small on the screen.
So many Protanopia colorblind filters in games and apps mess up the colors way too much for me, and look worse and less visible than the non-colorblind normal color settings. Definitely interesting to hear about other colorblind users' accessibility issues.
There are so many degrees of colorblindness that accessibility is difficult to cover for all of us. I hope Mozilla and other developers are accounting for common colorblindness and testing with real colorblind people.
Re: Color Vision Simulation
#5That's a great addition. I feel like accessibility for the colour-blind should be a really simple thing to implement for all developers.

I have tritanopia, but the two images look vastly different to me. However, I'm fairly used to that. A lot of testing images tend to be hit and miss when dealing with blues.
However, show me a bright purple figure on a black background and I'll probably tell you it's blank.

I feel the same. I am clearly red-green colorblind and I can't pass these tests with a lot of circles in different colors, but all the images from this list look very distinctive to me.
I also can't use the red-green colormodes in slack, iOS, mac, etc. because it makes the colors too... weird.
I often wonder if it's because the colors that I see, grew up with and label as "red" and "green" are actually different to what other people see as "red" and "green". But since we all just use these words to describe color, I would never know if the world that I see is similar to what everyone else sees.
Maybe the colorfilters do make things look 'real' and the red that comes out after the filter is the real red like how other people see it. But I'm already too used to "my red" that the "real red" just looks fake and odd.

I'm sure you can do 3D DOM View as an extension with CSS transforms. It sucks they removed it but it wouldn't be terribly hard to implement in a day or two as a WebExtension/bookmarklet.
Re: Color Vision Simulation
#10I wonder a lot of about whether people with color blindness miss detail in life and nature, and how that affects them. The color blind simulation images are so drab, lifeless, and seemingly devoid of detail compared to the full color images.
