Color perception may seem obvious to us, but 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women suffer from some form of color blindness - that's around 300 million people worldwide. Yet altered color vision is never taken into account when colors are used for aesthetic purposes. This is why Kukkaa Dutch design studio dedicated to textiles, has chosen to design an entire collection of patterns from the point of view of color-blind people. Called "Chromarama", it is the result of several interviews with color-blind people, and aims to avoid the loss of visual information as much as possible. Chromarama is made up of five tapestries, each designed with a specific visual defect in mind: deficiency in red, green or blue. While in some compositions the colors may be perceived slightly differently by a color-blind person, in each, the design remains unchanged.
