I'm sorry if this is off-topic here; please feel free to migrate it if it is.

Given the hex coordinates of a colour, and a type of colourblindness (e.g. protanopia), how do I calculate how that colour would appear to a person with that type of colourblindness? I've been throwing this at Google for a while now and it yields nothing no matter what search terms I use.

Ok, I just went right down the Rabbit hole with this one. RIP work!

I was looking over the code on github.com/MaPePeR/jsColorblindSimulator and they have listed in there the colour matrixes they use to adjust the colours based on the type of colorblindness. Maybe these will help? I posted the link earlier above I just thought I post again in the form of an answer.

Well, you could simply generate an image with your color combinations and use a color blind simulator:

For example this:
