For anyone working on a Mac, I highly recommend Sim Daltonism. It gives you an interactive display on your Mac that you can place over any section of your screen to simulate what it looks like to a colorblind person. It simulates several different types of colorblindness. I have a friend who is colorblind, and to the best of our mutual understanding, it is accurate.
Yeah, some non-colorblind people mistakenly think we can "fix" it by mapping trouble colors to different colors because they fundamentally misunderstand that we always see like this.
As someone who is colorblind, I recommend testing accessibility with grayscale.
If it works in grayscale, it should work for basically all colorblindness types.

Neat but still hard for me (red/green) to differentiate colors between some. The Merge + Tubulin one in particular.
Why does this single headline use two different spellings for the word colo(u)r?
Because the author is making a reference to a song with the title "Colorblind", as explained in the footnote:
> The post title comes from “Colorblind” by Super Furry Animals, a B-side to their Do Or Die single.
Can a colorblind person remap colors on their own screen?
We can, yes. But then everything looks weird. :)
