Colour Accessibility Program | BREC

Experience more colour during your visit to BREC with the EnChroma Colour Accessibility Program!

Did you know Colour blindness affects 350 million people worldwide – 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women (.5%).

BREC are proud to be the first theatre in Australia to offer the EnChroma Colour Accessibility Program, to support people experiencing colour blindness see an expanded range of colours while attending a show, film or event at BREC. The glasses are not a cure for colour blindness but work for 9 out of 10 colour blind people.

EnChroma Glasses are available for complimentary use whilst visiting BREC.

Types of glasses available:

We are all different, which is why different types of glasses are available for use while visiting BREC:

  • Standard glasses, suitable for adults
  • Glasses for children
  • Glasses for adults that can be worn on top of prescription glasses

Glasses can be checked out at the BREC box office, as you arrive for your event, with a government issued photo identification.


How do EnChroma glasses work?

EnChroma glasses use special optical filters that help the colour blind see an expanded range of colour and to see it more clearly, vibrantly and distinctly.

EnChroma’s lens technology increases contrast between the red and green colour signals, alleviating symptoms of colour blindness for a richer experience of the world.
