The purpose of this study is to provide recommendations for designing digital product interfaces that accommodate users with various forms of color perception. To achieve these goals, a review of scientific literature was conducted, methodologies for color adaptation were studied, and the application of simulators for color perception deviations was examined. The focus is placed on color blindness, reduced contrast perception, and changes in visual function occurring with age. The findings emphasize the need to create interfaces tailored to users with varying characteristics. Key directions include color schemes with contrasting elements, mechanisms for adjusting hues, and visual signals that complement core content. Automated color solutions enable the consideration of users' individual parameters. A design approach that takes into account the specifics of color perception enhances interaction with interfaces, making them more accessible. The information presented in this study will be of interest to developers engaged in interface design, software specialists, experts studying cognitive processes, and those working in the field of computer vision.

The challenge of distinguishing color combinations in Introduction: Modern digital interfaces have become interfaces has become the subject of in-depth scientific integral to daily life, serving as tools for accessing investigation. Kovesdi C. R. [2] proposes a tool for information, interacting with the environment, and analyzing the readability of color solutions, enabling the managing technology. However, the majority of these assessment of their practical value. The study by Yang J. interfaces are developed without considering users et al.

In the work by Uvarov N.K. [17], it is noted examines the influence of the visual field on color that approximately 8% of men and 0.5% of women perception. Methods for analyzing reactions to color experience color vision deficiencies, emphasizing the signals using electroencephalography are described by need for interfaces that account for such features. Yang C. et al. [11]. These studies contribute to Various types of visual impairments, including color understanding the mechanisms of perceiving color blindness, reduced ability to distinguish contrasting stimuli. colors, and age-related changes, hinder the perception A significant portion of scientific literature is dedicated of digital information. Neglecting these factors to developing tools and algorithms for working with increases interaction complexity, causes cognitive colors. Wang Z. et al.

The study by particularly significant in interfaces used in medicine, Pereira A. et al.
