Abstract
With this paper, we are focusing on improving web accessibility, more precisely on compensating the contrast loss for textual web content for dichromat users. A study over the entire sRGB color space showed that the loss experienced by a dichromat user may be significant. With the current approach, we assess the interest of using API for our problem. Several tests for different parameters settings were performed on both real and synthetic data in order to assess the algorithm efficiency.
