It takes the guesswork out of designing for color blindness by showing you in real time what people with common color vision impairments will see. + +Color Oracle applies a full screen color filter to art you are designing – independently of the software in use. Eight percent of all males are affected by color vision impairment – make sure that your graphical work is readable by the widest possible audience. + +Read this article for more information: [Color Design for the Color Vision Impaired](http://colororacle.org/design.html) + +##Authors + +* Programming: Bernhard Jenny, Oregon State University. +* Ideas, testing and icon: Nathaniel Vaughn Kelso, Stamen Design, San Francisco. + +##Feedback +Color Oracle is a work in progress and will improve with time and your input. Please share your Color Oracle testimonial with us and send us an [email](mailto:nvkelso@gmail.com). + +##Note +Color Oracle is using the best available algorithm for simulating color vision impairment. However, highly saturated color may not simulate well using the present version of Color Oracle. + +##Downlaods + +* **Version 1.2.1 for [Windows](http://colororacle.org/ColorOracleWin.zip)** - Requires [Java 6 or 7](http://java.com/). + +* **Version 1.1.4 for [Mac OS X](http://colororacle.org/ColorOracleMac.zip)** - 10.4 or higher now supports Retina displays and OS X 10.8 (Java not required) + +* **Version 1.2 for [Linux](http://colororacle.org/ColorOracleJar.zip)** - Requires [Java 6 or 7](http://java.com/). Recent versions of Ubuntu are not supported (because of wonky Java support on Ubuntu). + +========== + +© 2006-2012 by [Bernhard Jenny](mailto:jennyb@geo.oregonstate.edu), Oregon State University. \ No newline at end of file
