Abstract

In choosing a color palette, it is necessary to take into the account the needs of color vision impaired users, in order to make information and services accessible to a broader audience. This means to search the space of color palettes aimed to find a color combination representing a good trade-off between aesthetics and accessibility requirements. In this paper, we present a solution based on genetic algorithms. Experimental results highlight this approach to be an efficient but effective way to assist UI designers by suggesting appropriate variations of color palettes.
