Hello @blakegearin I'm absolutely no expert on this, and have also not tracked what my source was for the values. I'm ok with removing / updating the values, either is fine by me! |

One of the color filters currently provided in the a11y add-on is achromatomaly. A user by the name of Chromaphobe recently released their findings (video, transcript & footnotes) about the origin of this term and why it's not blue cone monochromacy, as some sources have suggested.
Additionally, I noticed the percentage provided by Storybook for achromatomaly (
0,00001%
) seems to have come from this PR comment which links to Reddit, a questionable source. None of the other sources listed appear to mention achromatomaly.For reference, the earliest commit and PR I could find for achromatomaly came from @ndelangen in 2018. Presumably the SVG filters were brought in from a different source, though it's unclear where. Regardless, Storybook's filter does line up with Colorjack's, which has since been retracted.
Storybook's value:
0.618, 0.320, 0.062, 0, 0 0.163, 0.775, 0.062, 0, 0 0.163, 0.320, 0.516, 0, 0 0, 0, 0, 1, 0
Colorjack's value:
R:[61.8, 32, 6.2], G:[16.3, 77.5, 6.2], B:[16.3, 32.0, 51.6]
With all this in mind, I'm of the opinion that "achromatomaly" should be removed from Storybook or at the least evaluated further for validity.
