Google builds colour blindness filter for web

Google Accessibility has launched a customisable colour filter that can be applied to web pages to improve colour perception.

Last week the internet giant released the filter, called Color Enhancer, which it said can be applied to web pages to improve perception for people who are partially colour blind.

The plugin was available on Google’s web browser Chrome, asking users to select a row of stars that appeared faintest before automatically adjusting the browser.
