I understand there's no direct way to answer this, but does this image appear the same as the live page to you?

If so... wow. That's not good at all; it's almost as hard to distinguish the minimum value from the maximum value as it is the two in the center.

While not completely identical, it looks very similar (I also only have strong protanomaly, not complete protanopia, so I wouldn't expect it to look identical).

Color-vision deficiency simulations collapse colors along the confusion lines, but this can be done multiple ways. These different mapping will all look the same (and identical to the original) to a dichromat but will appear different, with different perceptual differences between colors, to a color-normal individual. Simulating in a way that accurately portrays perceived color distances is still an open research problem.
