Color Oracle
Eight percent of all men suffer from some form of colorblindness, a condition that can interfere with their ability to distinguish things designed for unimpaired viewers. Color Oracle aims to change this by making it easy for designers to see their work as a colorblind person would. Color Oracle overlays the user's screen to simulate three different kinds of colorblindness of increasing severity, the idea being that by designing for the severely colorblind, all your bases will be covered.
It would be great to get some feedback on this app from actual colorblind readers– perhaps even colorblind designer Jon Hicks of Firefox fame?

I have Deuteranopia, and I can attest that there is very little difference between the "normal" setting and the setting for deuteranopia. I do have to comment that there seems to be a difference between what I "SEE" and what I Percieve. I had a normal color vision person look at this, and on the Deuteranopia setting, all the colors looked the same to me as they did on the normal setting. However when I asked the normal color vision person what they saw, what they described as being Yellow, I saw as red (they said there was a dramtic difference between the two settings), I have been told that the mind can process the absence of other colors to be color.
