+=======================
+Color vision simulation
+=======================
+
+The simulator in the :doc:`Accessibility Inspector <../index>` in Firefox Developer Tools lets you see what a web page would look like to users with various forms of *color vision deficiency* (better known as "color blindness"), as well as *contrast sensitivity loss*.
+
+"Color blindness" is a bit of a misnomer, since most people with these disorders can see colors, but do not see all of the distinctions that people with normal color vision can see; color vision deficiencies affect perception across the color spectrum, not only of specific colors like red or green. Color vision deficiencies affect about 8% of men, and 0.5% of women. The most common forms of color blindness (commonly lumped together as "red-green color blindness") affect more men than women, because they are due to a mutation in a gene in the X chromosome, which men usually have only one copy of.
+
+Contrast sensitivity loss can be caused by cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and other disorders of the retina; it can be age-related, congenital, or due to an injury.
+
+.. note::
+
+ This feature depends on webrender, an experimental featurethat is not enabled by default on all platforms. You can force-enablewebrender by settingthe preference ``gfx.webrender.all`` to ``true`` using the `Firefox Configuration Editor <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox>`_ (note that if webrender is enabled by default on your platform, the setting has no effect.
+
+
+The current color simulation option may be selected from the **Simulate** menu as shown.

+.. note::
+
+ The simulation transformation matrices are based on the paper: `A Physiologically-based Model for Simulation of Color Vision Deficiency <https://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~oliveira/pubs_files/CVD_Simulation/CVD_Simulation.html>`_, Gustavo M. Machado, Manuel M. OliveiraLeandro A. F. Fernandes, IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, Volume 15 (2009).
+
+
+.. note::
+ Firefox 81 removed unnecessary simulations for *protanomaly*, *deuteranomaly*, and *tritanomaly*, and added a simulation for *achromatopsia* (no color).
