Online Color for the Colorblind

I am red/green colorblind, which means that I have a hard time distinguishing purple from blue and some greens from browns. When a color stands alone, I am likely to guess the color wrong; I think of this as a kind of color dyslexia. I'm always amazed by the reactions I get when I tell people this. If they don't assume that I can't see color at all, they usually start pointing at different things and asking what color they are.

I avoid color as a result.

However, I've found some great online resources for color exploration: Kuler, a site from Adobe that asks people to assemble color combinations and vote on the most popular.

And here is a Colorblind Webpage Filter, so you can see things as I do.
