You Can Help Someone Experience Georgia in a New Way

For many people with red-green color vision deficiency, the vibrant colors of fall foliage, spring wildflowers, and Georgia's scenic landscapes may appear less distinct. EnChroma glasses use specialized optical filters designed to enhance color contrast, helping many people distinguish certain colors more easily.

Your support can help make these color accessibility glasses available to borrow at more Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites, giving more visitors the opportunity to experience the beauty and vibrant landscapes that make Georgia so special.

The Same View Can Look Very Different

This illustration shows how the same Georgia landscape may be perceived differently by someone with red-green color vision deficiency compared with someone with typical color vision.

This comparison is illustrative. Color vision deficiency varies by type and severity, and no single image represents every person’s experience.

Color Vision Deficiency Is More Common Than Many Realize

Behind these numbers are millions of people who experience Georgia's natural beauty differently. Your support can help make color accessibility glasses available to more visitors across the state.

Color vision deficiency varies by type and severity. These simulations are illustrative and do not represent every person’s experience.

EnChroma glasses use specialized optical filters designed to enhance color contrast for many people with red-green color vision deficiency. Individual experiences vary depending on the person and viewing conditions.

Your Gift Can Put the Next Location on the Map

Each glasses icon marks a Georgia State Park or Historic Site where visitors can borrow color accessibility glasses. As Georgia In Color expands, this map will grow to show the program reaching more destinations across the state.

Your gift helps expand Georgia In Color to more parks and historic sites, making color accessibility glasses available to borrow for more visitors across the state.
