Our Ethos

• Using CONTRAST makes the world more accessible for VIPs
• People with vision loss are a priority for all of CROMOCON’s work
• Design and construction industries to understand CONTRAST
  
• Architects and manufacturers can get CONTRAST right
  
• CONTRAST between elements of a building increases VIP independence
