Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

A universal system-wide driver or software layer that applies custom LUTs (Look-Up Tables) to all screen output based on specific colorblindness type.
A browser extension that dynamically re-maps color palettes on websites to high-contrast, colorblind-friendly schemes.
A standardized open-source repository of verified ICC profiles tailored for different types of color vision deficiency.
