Gonna convert this back to draft for a second and wait for some initial feedback: https://mastodon.online/@danirabbit/110499349712690594

Gonna try to gather some feedback here:

It seems like there's no real consensus on terminology. It sounds like folks who already know what they're looking for or were diagnosed a long time ago expect that the term "color blindness" is used. However, several people have brought up that "blindness" doesn't accurately describe them and one person mentioned that they didn't love "deficiency" either. One person brought up using something like "Color Accessibility". So I wonder if it might ultimately be better to focus on naming the accommodation rather than trying to name the disability.

I did get positive responses from changing the slider labels from "correction" to "assistance"

I had some confusion about what the choices actually do and whether its a palette swap for the UI or a whole display filter. Although the navigation context should make that more clear, I think it's worth just adding a subtitle explainer text.

There has been near universal confusion about the included color palette. It seems I'm probably trying to be too clever here. Something I thought of this morning was maybe using images from color vision tests instead? Like the typical colored green circle with a red number 7 in it kind of thing you see. I wonder if that would be more familiar imagery and make it more obvious? It might also make it easier to explain what's going on, we could add a line to the text like "Adjust until a number appears in every circle" or something

It's actually really hard to find openly licensed ishara tests. Something to maybe revisit in a future revision? For now I moved circles to be clearer that there are 3 big options and added explainer text that the circles should all appear as different colors
