Abstract: Color is a foundational element in digital design, yet individuals with color vision deficiency (CVD) often encounter significant barriers when engaging with mainstream graphic design platforms. This study explores the ethical and practical implications of designing for users with CVD, focusing on the experiences of Filipino creatives in both professional and academic settings. It aims to uncover common usability challenges, evaluate the effectiveness of existing accessibility features, and propose improvements that reflect user needs and promote inclusive design practices. Employing a qualitative, exploratory methodology, the study integrates word cloud analysis and the Diffusion of Innovation theory to interpret user feedback and assess attitudes toward accessible tools such as colorblind-friendly palettes and vision simulators. Results show strong support for built-in, customizable accessibility features, with many users expressing openness to adoption if these tools are integrated seamlessly into their workflows. The study contributes to the discourse on digital inclusion by presenting an ethical design framework that promotes accessibility as a standard, not optional, element in graphic design platforms.
