New Release - Colorblind Effect Unity Plugin

We have released a new image effect to help with designing a better user experience for colorblind people.

About CBE

Colorblind Effect (CBE) plugin simulates three most common types of colorblindness. This lets gamedesigners better identify potential problems with reduced color vision.

With this plugin it is easy to check if some part of the game relies too much on colors as a source of information (for example, people with most common colorblindness have trouble distinguishing between red and green). Typical problems are:

Color gradidents: healthbars, threat levels etc.

Only color-coded information: eg. green friendly and red enemy units on minimap

Overlaying colors that look similar to colorblind: GUI/HUD might be hard to see in certain areas, or something as simple as wrong combination of text and background color

Additional information

You can get CBE at Unity Asset Store.

See documentation here and forum here.
