    Reminds me of that one post where op discovered he was colourblind when he sorted characters by colour and it being obviously wrong.

      I had a moment where I believed I was colorblind because I was toying around with iOS accessibility settings and one of the colour filters looked exactly the same enabled as disabled when I tested it. Good times.

      Not colorblind.

    Can I just tell you how much I hate those Ishihara tests? I don’t see shit in that OP one (which was exactly what I expected).

    Once upon a time, Panasonic did a print ad for one of their new color printers that was a dot test that read “Panasonic”, with nothing else on the page. Not super-effective advertising - although I suppose color-blind folks weren’t necessarily the target demographic…

    It doesn’t say anything for me, it’s an odd shape of different coloured orbs and yes i am confirmed colour blind. Red green, i keep forgetting what it’s called.

    Is it bad that I glanced at it and also thought it was 71, and had to actually consciously pay attention to the colours to see the 4?

    I can confirm that I see both an orange car and a 21. I’m not colourblind in the "I can’t see any colour " way and I can drive a car and see traffic lights without any problem but I do percieve colors differently enough to get in arguments with friends and family about the colour of stuff. I think it’s called deuteranomaly

    Edit :the more I know!

      Colourblind isn’t the complete absense of colour, e.g. everything looks black and white. With deuteranomaly, you are the actual textbook definition of colourblindness… There are different levels of it, but all can still perceive colour - it’s just whether the difference in colour of the spectrum is detected correctly.

      Deuteranomaly (/ie) is the reduction in reactivity of the red-colour receptors. That means your perception of orange/red/brown is less than those with normal vision.

      For those with normal vision, this is a great chart. But, if you’re colourblind, it’ll be more confusing for you, sorry!

      You are actually textbook definition of colour blind. What you have is deuteranomaly which is red green colour blindness.

        Even though I know the dress factually is blue and black, I think a white and gold version should be made, because it’s pretty.

        And it should also be photographed in such a way that it appears to be blue and black.

      Yeah, definitely more of a trick, can see the 74 but it’s a little more faint than I’d like it to be
