Color Oracle

Today is rapidly turning into Color Blindness awareness day here at TUAW. Earlier I told you about Sim Daltonism, which creates a little panel in which you can simulate how something would look viewed by various types of color blindness, and now we have Color Oracle.

Pixel pointed it out to me in the comments, and so I took a gander at it. Unlike Sim Daltonism, Color Oracle simulates the effect of color blindness on your whole screen. Simply click on the menubar item (or use a hot key) and all the colors on your screen are shifted. Click any where and they are back to normal. Pretty neat little application, and the icon (seen to the right) is very cool indeed (it brings back memories of not being able to tell what number was supposed to be in those dots).

Color Oracle is free, and requires OS X 10.3.9 or higher.
