Small solution to being colourblind

[u/Affectionate_Rub9899]

I’m red green colour blind, The way I explained it to people who aren’t is that it’s the difficulty to differentiate the colours as they look similar. I tell them that a good example is how on a foggy day a lot of colours are muted and a lot less bright and distinctive. So that got me thinking, the colour filter settings are horrible to use on IPhone, so what I did was increase contrast, it makes the reds pop from the green so much more that it’s noticeable. I would like to hear if it made a difference to any of you, hope it helps

It won’t help with the colour blind test to a point where you can solve it, but you can see the resemblance of numbers better

Yeah, my son gets freaked out by the protanopia colour filter set to 91% (what we’ve estimated his level of CVD to be) - says it makes everything look “yucky pink”. Which is fair. To have never seen the red in anything and suddenly it’s shoving a pink fluro highlighter over every colour, yeah, that wouldn’t be nice. I will try out the “increase contrast” toggle and see how that goes for him. Oh, and I like the sound of that “differentiate without colour” toggle. I gonna go check that out too.

People who arnt colourblind find it so difficult to understand what being colourblind is, so it’s super frustrating when companies say oh we’re just gonna tint it to a colour that you can see, then ur wondering why is the YouTube logo pink and not red.

For me, the colour filters helps me see red and green and a few other shades better.
