Ubisoft just open-sourced its colorblind assistance tool Chroma
Briefly

Ubisoft has unveiled Chroma, an open-source tool designed to assist developers in creating more accessible gaming experiences for colorblind players. By using a filter that simulates different types of color blindness, testers can identify and flag potential issues in real-time without compromising game performance. While Chroma doesn't provide solutions on its own, it raises awareness of accessibility challenges, enabling developers to make necessary adjustments. This initiative aligns with a growing trend in the gaming industry, as other companies like EA have also begun releasing accessibility technologies to improve gaming for all players.
