ColorSelector

ColorSelector is a software for judging the legibility of background and text colors.
With the addition of the Chinese and Korean versions, the software will serve in many countries around the world.

ColorSelector is available at anytime as a free download from the Fujitsu Web site

ColorSelector runs on the Windows® and Mac OS X operating systems. The program is available at anytime as a free download from the Fujitsu Web site.

You can perform checks easily, even if you do not know the RGB values of colors

You can select any color on the display by simply using the "Dropper" function. You can also enter the RGB values of a color and judge its legibility. These functions are useful for checking the coloration of proposals and presentations as well as websites.

The judgment is displayed

ColorSelector examines the specified combination of background and text colors, judges them as "Regular", "Cataract", "Protanopia", "Deuteranopia" or "Tritanopia" and displays the judgment.

It has a color palette that allows you to determine legible colors at a glance

Difficult color schemes are marked with "x" on the color palette, so it is easy to select legible colors.
