Inspiration

While I was researching accessibility issues people face today, I was shocked to learn that 1 in 12 men suffer from color blindness. This inspired me to combat such a common but underacknowledged accessibility issue.

What it does

Chroma enhances image visibility for colorblind individuals by adjusting colors to accommodate different types of color blindness, allowing users to see photos more clearly.

How we built it

I used React, Typescript, and Tailwind CSS to build the website. I also used Figma to prototype the app.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge I experienced was recreating an algorithm that successfully altered the images to be more clear for those with color blindness. Many of the algorithms I researched either didn't work as well as I had hoped or had poor documentation.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of creating an app that I believe could improve the lives of those with colorblindness. I am also proud of myself for my first solo hackathon.
