🔧 Fix this

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

  1. A universal system-wide color-mapping driver that allows users to define custom color-shift matrices for specific color-blindness types.
  2. A browser extension that dynamically re-colors web elements based on user-defined color-blindness profiles to improve contrast and readability.
  3. An open-source library for developers that provides standardized, accessible color palettes and testing tools to ensure UI elements are distinguishable for all vision types.
