Cool - I'm quite severely colour blind, I'll give it a go when I get home and see if it passes my own "looks identical to me so it's probably a good simulation" test!

Some reading on colour blindness for anyone unaffected who might be interested -> https://mcconnellsoftware.github.io/colourblind-in-software-...

Inspired by one of the links there: dear anybody listening, if you're going to show a bunch of comparison photos/screen grabs, or before/after screen shots, and the like - e.g., http://www.colourblindawareness.org/ - don't put a scroll effect in. Don't put a fade down then fade up effect in. It makes it too hard to see the difference. Just flick instantly between one and the next.
