It also tries to compensate for certain color vision deficiencies. It's a must-have for colorblind iPhone users. HueVue also simulates common forms of color blindness and can be a useful tool for normally sighted people too. Check out <a href="http://www.huevue.com" rel="nofollow">www.huevue.com</a>.

In all honesty, I knew only about half of them myself. Couldn't help but admire the humane streak in these tools. If web designers would use them more often, the Web could be even more universal.
