Abstract
Currently there are numerous methods for detecting colorblindness. They differ in many aspects, e.g. the quality and accuracy of diagnosis, the spectrum of colors used during test or the ability of being reproduced on a mass scale. However, there is one thing that those methods do have in common – they are based on predefined, limited sets of color elements.
This paper presents the algorithm for generation of colorblindness detection sets – so called quodlibets – pairs of colors that are easily distinguishable by a person with normal color vision, but are hard (or impossible) to tell apart by a person with certain color vision disorder within defined timeframe. The discussed algorithm allow to generate many different quodlibets, which allow not only to detect certain types of colorblindness but also to estimate the strength of a color vision impairment.
