While color perception seems obvious to us, 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women have some form of color blindness, representing roughly 300 million people worldwide. However, this impaired color vision is never taken into account when colors are used for aesthetic purposes. That's why Flower, a Dutch design studio dedicated to textile, has chosen to design an entire collection of patterns from the perspective of colorblind people. Named "Chromarama," it is the result of several interviews with colorblind individuals and aims to minimize the loss of visual information. Chromarama comprises five tapestries, each designed to address a specific colorblind deficiency: red and green, or blue. While in some compositions the colors may be perceived slightly differently by a colorblind person, the design remains unchanged in each.
