What is Color Weakness?
Color vision is made possible with the photoreceptors in the retina of the eye known as cones. If the cones don't have a certain light-sensitive pigment, you will not be able to see one or more of the three primary colors. People with color blindness can have less than one kind of light-sensitive pigment and can only see the neutral or gray colors where a particular color would appear. As for the color weakness, their cones cannot distinguish colors of similar shades easily. For example, when red, pink, orange and purple colors are put next to each other, what they see would be lumps of similar colors. With the Color Weakness Mode on, the color weak can distinguish colors easily and gain quality time for clearer views.
*To know more about color blindness and color weakness, one may look up for the medical term, color vision deficiency. It encompasses color blindness and color weakness and there’s estimated 3 million of people around the world to have the inherited color vision deficiency.

Although there’s similar causes for the color blindness and the color weakness, one need to know that BenQ Color Weakness Mode: it will not work for people with color blindness since their cones cannot respond to certain light-pigments and would not see an improved colored view with the Color Weakness Mode on.
