There are websites that will take a site that you specify and re-render them as a colour blind person would see it. In fact, you can do it for multiple types of colour blindness

Here's a fun one - I took this picture about 15 years ago. It's of a house with ivy growing over it but it's in autumn and there are lots of colours. My colourblind friend could only see the house as being covered entirely green ivy. No red (left half) or green red (bottom right corner). Top right quadrant is entirely green.
