  • This is an amazing plugin!

    Thank you very much for this plugin. It makes things feel more secure for certain purposes.

  • Totally Useful as a Design Tool

    Color blindness is a disability affecting a large minority of people. You can improve your website by using this plugin to toggle to greyscale which approximates total colour-blindness. It can instantly tell you where your choice of colors, hues, luminance and contrast makes it difficult for a colour-blind person to enjoy or even understand a website.

  • Great plugin, easy and useful.

    Thank you so much for this plugin. Now WordPress websites can mourn over our Thai king's passing, and still be able to switch to the color version.
