Friend swore by this colorblind tool, I laughed, then ate my words

My buddy Mark told me about ColorOracle back in March. I rolled my eyes and said I don't need fancy software for my design work. Then I sent him a screenshot of my dashboard mockup with red and green status indicators. He slapped a colorblind filter on it and sent it back. Every single status looked identical, like a gray blob of confusion. I was humbled real quick. Now I run everything through it before sending to clients. Anyone else have a tool they dismissed and later regretted ignoring?

3 out of 5 designers probably just use different shades of grey anyway.

Design is for the 92% with normal vision, not the other 8%.
