The purpose of the work is to study methods for assessing the quality of background design of websites for users with color blindness. Information about types of color blindness is provided, existing methods for assessing the quality of colors for web design are analyzed. Examples of existing sites that have functions for assessing the quality of web resources are provided. Existing methods for assessing the quality of sites are identified and existing web resources are analyzed. A developed comprehensive model for assessing the quality of background design of websites is presented, based on the creation of algorithms for finding colors on images and sites, assessing their quality, and building algorithms for simulating types of color blindness. Examples of the work of the implemented system for assessing the quality of background design of websites for users with color blindness, its capabilities, and structure are described. The object of the study is the process of determining the effectiveness of background design of websites in terms of the perception of content by users with color blindness. The subject of the study is methods for assessing the quality of website background design, including the selection of color schemes, contrast of text and background, and adaptation of information display for users with color blindness. The novelty of the work is the creation of a model that combines the assessment of the quality of website design, determining their colors and providing recommendations for improving the color scheme of the site. The practical value lies in the fact that an information system has been developed - a site that provides recommendations for the optimal selection of color schemes and website design for users with color vision impairments, which allows to increase the accessibility and convenience of information perception.
