This article examines the significance of considering various aspects of color perception in the process of developing digital interfaces. Color serves as a fundamental element of human vision and perception of the environment; therefore, it is crucial to account for diverse manifestations of color vision, including color blindness, achromatopsia, and tetrachromacy. Attention is given to the impact of design standards on improving user convenience, reducing the likelihood of errors, and decreasing cognitive load. The purpose of this study is to provide recommendations for designing digital product interfaces that accommodate users with various forms of color perception.

To achieve these goals, a review of scientific literature was conducted, methodologies for color adaptation were studied, and the application of simulators for color perception deviations was examined. The focus is placed on color blindness, reduced contrast perception, and changes in visual function occurring with age.

The findings emphasize the need to create interfaces tailored to users with varying characteristics. Key directions include color schemes with contrasting elements, mechanisms for adjusting hues, and visual signals that complement core content. Automated color solutions enable the consideration of users' individual parameters.

A design approach that takes into account the specifics of color perception enhances interaction with interfaces, making them more accessible.

The information presented in this study will be of interest to developers engaged in interface design, software specialists, experts studying cognitive processes, and those working in the field of computer vision. The described methodologies find application in educational and commercial initiatives aimed at promoting inclusivity.
