Experiment 1: Let colour blindness distinguish the number of colours. Yellow and blue are visible colours for colour blindness. Use these two colours but different shades to cross each other to form patterns, and use wool to make the same pattern for comparison experiments.
Result: The five colour blind participants were able to identify 5-6 colours from wool, while the former only had 2-3 colours. It is proved that the texture of wool can enhance the display of colour.
Material: four-ply wool group*6 colours, 100x100mm foam board*9
This project hopes to raise and value the awareness of colour blindness in the design field through experiments and publications.
How do we include colour vision defects in aesthetic design? Through communication and cooperation with five colour blind participants (including my father, who has red-green colour blindness), study how colours trouble them and whether there is a way to help them gain the ability to identify colours on their own.
At the same time, collected the problems that arise in their lives and apply the experimental results in the form of illustrations.
Experiment2&3: According to 'Effect of Texture on Colour Perception' of Nc States University, it is known that the same colour will have different shades of perception on different materials.
Use the result to make illustrations with content to let them distinguish the colours.
Result: The five colour blind participants ranked the influence of colours on fabrics from lightest to darkest.
According the order, the five colour blind participants were able to identify 3-4 colours from illustrations, successfully identify all the colours form fabrics. It is proved that using texture can enhance the display and emphasis on colour levels.
Material: fabric*6, 1m blue/dark blue/yellow/whit wool, blue/yellow/grey watercolour paint, 1m blue/yellow wool felt, a5 paper*6
Experiment 4: Collect colour combinations that cannot be distinguished by colour blindness, and use Adobe Photoshop to simulate different materials on the colours. Five colour blind participants were asked to rank according to the degree of impact of materials on the display of colours.
Simulates the colour combinations seen in different colour blind eyes, making it more intuitive.
Result: Based on the choices of five colour blind participants, the impact of 14 materials on the display of a single colour was finally ranked from lightest to darkest.
At the same time, the illustrations were made from stories collected from five colour blind participants, with the purpose of letting more people understand the troubles colour blindness will encounter in life.
Details: 185x270mm, 80gsm, 36p, digital print, saddle stitch binding

Combining the illustrations with the experimental results obtained, that is, the material determines the display degree of the colour, so that similar colours of different shades can be more clearly distinguished using the material, so as to achieve the purpose of enabling colour blindness to distinguish colours on their own. Make illustrations readable by everyone.
