With User Experience, perception plays a big role. It helps to understand how colors work: a difficult topic with amazing results like: “All the balls are the same color — and that color is brown!”
All pictures below are from the [WayBack] Chaz Firestone on Twitter: “All the balls are the same color — and that color is brown!… “ thread.
Original by [WayBack] David Novick (@NovickProf) | Twitter: Professor of Engineering Education and Leadership, the University of Texas at El Paso. Tweets cover innovation & entrepreneurship, improv, and color illusions. El Paso, TX.
[Archive.is] David Novick on Twitter: “A three-color confetti illusion with spheres, which appear to be yellowish, reddish, and purpleish but in fact have exactly the same light-brown base color (RGB 255,188,144). Shrinking the image increases the effect. Original png file is at .… “
A PNG of the original is at engineering.utep.edu/novick/colors and his dropbox, and is even more stunning than the Twitter dithered versions below.

Great tool: the Toptal Colorblind Web Page Filter
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/08/06
Colorblind Web Page Filter
A great tool I found out about a while ago [Archive.is] Toptal Color Blind Filter.
It shows the original web page and the rendering for various types of color blindness:
protan-> Protanopia: red/green color blindness; anomalous red conesdeutan-> Deutanopia: red/green color blindness; anomalous green conestritan-> Tritanopia: blue/yellow color blindness; anomalous blue conesgrey-> Greyscale/achromatopsia: quick check for all forms of colorblindness
Because of a comment at [WayBack] Forums… https://embarcaderomonitoring.wiert.me/ – JWP – Google+, I used Toptal to notify Uptime robot that their status pages are hard for color blind people: [WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers on Twitter: “Some color blind people indicated to me that @uptimerobot status pages are hard for them to read. Examples are for @EmbarcaderoTech as they have subdomains being offline often: …”, so lets look at how people with various types of color blindness see embarcaderomonitoring.wiert.me :

visual studio code – Does the “editorWhitespace.foreground” workbench.colorCustomizations setting in VSCode actually work? – Stack Overflow

[WayBack] visual studio code – Does the “editorWhitespace.foreground” workbench.colorCustomizations setting in VSCode actually work? – Stack Overflow
Yes, it does. But after reading [WayBack] vscode-docs/theme-color-reference.md at master · Microsoft/vscode-docs · GitHub: Editor Colors or [WayBack] Visual Studio Code Theme Color Reference you might want to put it in the config straight like this:
see the editor white spaces, enable Toggle Render Whitespace.
editorWhitespace.foreground: Color of whitespace characters in the editor.
However, you need to embed it like this:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": { "editorWhitespace.foreground": "#333", "editorIndentGuide.background": "#333" }
The embedding makes it work.
