New accessibility feature in @ChromeDevTools: simulate vision deficiencies, including blurred vision & various types of color blindness.

In theory that's nice but the -anomoly simulations are wrong unfortunately, you can't simulate it in that way.

Better would be to remove all of the -anomoly options from the dropdown, and if any of the remaining options is chosen, display a slider for severity - with 100% labelled as -anopia, and anything greater than 0% and less than 100% labelled as -anomoly

If that can't be done, just remove -anomoly full stop, as designing for -anopia means you're accessible to -anomoly anyway.

Although there's good intention behind the current options, they're actually super harmful for accessibility, though giving the false impression that most people who have some kind of colour vision deficiency see in the way that the -anomoly simulation indicates.

From the looks of the docs the issue lies here? http://go/colorfix-simulate. I haven't done a comparitive simulation between yours & colororacle but colororacle has the most accurate simulations I've come across, not perfect but close enough that I've never had a false positive,

In all I don't want to give the wrong impression, what you've done so far is a great start, and it shouldn't take too much tweaking to get it properly working.

Thanks for the input. We’re removing the -omaly simulations: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/2109754 …

Ah awesome, the logic for blurred vision seems sound too
