A simple piece of software promises to help some of us regain something many take for granted: the ability to discern differences in a wide range of colors around us.

Enter: Color Binoculars.
"Since I have difficulty distinguishing between red and green, our app makes reds brighter and greens darker so that the difference is more obvious," Tom Overton, a colorblind Microsoft engineer who helped develop the app with Tingting Zhu, said in a blog post. "It replaces difficult color combinations, like red and green, with more easily distinguishable combinations, like pink and green.”

Most colorblind people are aware of their status, but if you have suspicions that your color perception might be off, you can try the popular Ishihara color blindness test. Of course, it's always best to consult a doctor for a medical vision evaluation, but using that test, some users have left reviews claiming that the app helped them see distinctions in colors better.
Color Binoculars is available now for iOS as a free download.
