Feature Request - Modify Pages to Make Color Schemes in User's Spectrum

[NicoHinderling]

So far, this chrome extension has been clearly intended to be used by developers so they know what their webpages would look like for people with different types of visual impairments. I propose the following additional functionality:

The extension would analyze the current webpage's color scheme and change them so that (as much as possible) each unique color would be in the user's spectrum of perceivable colors!

The idea came from this. The user commented that he can't make out anything about the graph because the colors in the image look the same to him.

While it would be amazing to not only change webpage color schemes, but also image's colors, the webpage concept alone would be really cool and likely not too tricky!

I'd be happy to submit a PR with some barebones stuff in a couple weeks, but I thought I'd post the idea here in case anyone was interested in it :simple_smile:

This sounds like a great and pretty interesting idea! Please go ahead with it if you'd like :-)

I think there might be a fundamental issues with that, unless I'm missing something about what you propose. The main usability issue with color blindness is the loss of contrast, but shifting colors from one part of the spectrum to another might increase contrast in some cases but decrease it in others. For example, if someone is red-green color blind and they go to a website that has red green and blue on it, you could shift say the red to blue in order to contrast more with the green, but then you lose contrast with the blue.
