Matthew Renton is colorblind, but he works at a museum and is surrounded by art. As director of communications at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, he tells The Creators Project, “I’ve got a blue and purple issue where I can’t distinguish them clearly. Green and brown sometimes too.” But when he puts on a pair of special EnChroma color blindness-correcting glasses, currently available at the reception desk of the museum, it alters the colors and makes them more vivid: “Everything’s got an extra pop to it,” he explains. In the short documentary above, created for Valspar and EnChroma's #ColorForAll campaign, you can watch colorblind individuals don a pair of the glasses and experience a new chromatic spectrum for the first time.
