Currently, Android already offers several color correction modes that can be found under Settings > Accessibility > Color and motion. These modes help users with varying degrees of color blindness by adjusting the color balance of their device’s display.
The different color correction modes available on Android include:
- Deuteranomaly correction: This mode is for people who have difficulty distinguishing greens.
- Protanomaly correction: This mode is for people who have difficulty distinguishing reds.
- Tritanomaly correction: This mode is for people who have difficulty distinguishing blue hues.
- Grayscale mode: This mode is for people who can’t see any color.

This new feature could be a game-changer for people with color blindness, as it could make it easier for them to use their devices and access information that was previously difficult to see. Android is already a very accessible operating system, and this new feature is just another example of Google’s commitment to making its products accessible to everyone. The intensity slider is a small change, but it could have a big impact on the lives of people with visual impairments.
