The opposite would be really good for designers - augmented reality of what a colour blind person would see. Would be good to check if your design is going to make life difficult for the colour blind.

Photoshop has actually implemented this since CS4 (http://www.colblindor.com/2009/01/04/photoshop-cs4-accessibi...). I would imagine that it's probably in other parts of creative suite as well.

There is a java app called Color Oracle that works on all platforms (http://colororacle.cartography.ch/). Turn it on and choose which color blindness to simulate.

I'm color blind and when switching to protanopia, the colors on my screen don't actually change for me.
