Android 15 may soon be even more accessible for color blind users

[phillynews215]

• Android 15 is preparing to add an intensity slider to color correction settings.
• This slider adjusts the intensity of each color correction mode, giving color blind users more ways to adjust how colors are shown.
• Android currently offers a few fixed color correction modes to address deuteranomaly, protanomaly, and tritanomaly.

Hundreds of millions of people have some form of color blindness, with many of them not even knowing it. People with color blindness can have trouble distinguishing between certain colors like red, green, and blue and often rely on accessibility options to compensate for their color vision deficiency. Android has long offered color correction modes as a part of its accessibility settings, but in Android 15, these modes may be joined by an intensity slider to further assist color blind users.

Under Settings > Accessibility > Color and motion, Android has a dedicated page for color correction settings. Here, color blind users can toggle one of Androids several color correction modes, which each compensate for various degrees of color blindness.
