"A color scheme" "A color scheme" "A color scheme" "A color scheme" "menu"

Official Chrome Store Description

This is an Chrome extension that allows Colorblind individuals to use high contrast colors to reduce eye strain and make browsing the web easier.

Featuring 8 high contrast color sets specifically for the colorblind, users can select the one that works best for their vision and experience the web with new clarity.

Tested on websites you use! Such as Reddit, Google, GitHub, Dev.to and Medium. The current implementation works well on most websites. All websites are built differently and some may have bad practices that interfere with this plugin which are mostly inline styles with the important property with high specificity(CSS).

No ads for spyware. 100% free. Try it for yourself and see better today!
