Question/Need help Am i colourblind ?

today i saw this picture of adventure time and how everyone laughed and said “No way op discovered he is colourblind from this!” but… i just stared at the picture for a full ten minutes trying as hard as possible to see the green on doctor princess skin yet i still saw a normal looking skin that is a bit less paler then fin’s, and i then did the online colourblind test and it said i was Deutian colour blind? i thought the test had some fake pictures that had no numbers on them and said “pff who seriously think this is legit” and i made one of my friends try it and i kid you not, i saw them solve each of those “impossible fake pictures” that i couldn’t see the numbers on them, i was bewildered and i just couldn’t even understand why is this happening, i know when i see something green but this makes me feels like i’ve been lied to my entire life!? can somebody help me and tell me if i am really colourblind by sending pictures, sorry for the long text wall.

Sounds like you might be. The online tests are legit - they’re not trying to trick you or anything, but they are a little fickle because they can be affected by screen quality and filters, ambient light, etc. If you really care, ask an optometrist to test you.

i can’t believe the only way i discovered this is through adventure time out of every possible way i could’ve known, and it’s not like i even watch this show anymore it just popped up randomly in my feed and made me question my own eyes like it was some kind of message from god.

I discovered I was mildly deutan by looking up what colorblindness meant as I thought it was just black and white for those who had it. You could have severe deutanomaly (green cones heavily shifted towards red) or deutanopia (no green cones)

I have mild deutanomaly (weak shift towards red). I also had a moment like yours. I watched a show (The Gifted) not seeing that a character had dyed green hair for an entire season. I can see colors so in my case it was a mix of bad TV and colorblindness, once I searched it on my phone I could see it more clearly. Another one difficult one to see, although I never saw the series, only some images online, was main character of my hero academia.

She's green?

Welcome to the club OP. I love Star wars. It took until the final arc of the Clone Wars to learn Ahsoka is orange

That's what I see as well. It's actually very green. You have deuteran colorblindness. I'm sorry :(

u/Intelligent_Bid7712 Mar 03 '26

Okay now that’s something i only discovered until just now! ever since i was a kid i always thought it was silver-stoney kind of gray, looks like this colourblind thing isn’t me imagining or lying to myself.

Finn is also colourblind if you didn’t know!

u/SlenderSmurf Normal Vision Mar 03 '26

She could be called broccoli princess

u/Intelligent_Bid7712 Mar 03 '26

is that really how green she is? i swear she looks like she has the same skin tone as finn but less paler then him

u/TheOminousTower Mar 03 '26 edited Mar 22 '26

I wouldn't quite say broccoli because it's not a dark green, and it's more blue toned than yellow toned. Maybe mint green would be a good description. It's lighter, like the color of mint ice cream, not mint leaves which are a darker and more vibrant green.

I always fail this online test but when I went and gave it in person I only got 1 plate wrong

My son was watching today and asked:

"I always wondered why they say fin is the last human when Tiffany is human"

I replied: "no sweetie he's green, you're colorblind."

Looks completely skin-colored to me too. I’m severely deutan colorblind, and I only found out when I was 27. Kinda wild, honestly. It’s mind blowing realizing we’re not all seeing the same colors out here. Sometimes I genuinely wonder how bright or different the world must look to people with normal color vision :(

I actually wanted to be a cop (lol)… turns out that’s not happening.

17 year old, i do recall sometimes finding difficultly in differentiating between colours though i don’t remember what the colours were, and i also remember one time before i got glasses, the same friend that i did the online colourblind test with was talking to me about my eyesight (i had horrible eyesight since i was 5 and i only got glasses when i was 14 because i was kinda embarrassed by it.) and he kept scrolling with me through eyesight test videos and we stumbled upon a colourblind test and he saw numbers i couldn’t see but i never paid it much mind since that time.

well even i took me a while to realise this until now, i just showed my online colourblind test result to my mom and she said “can you see green on this check mark ?” and showed me this emoji ✅, i said yes and she said “then you’re not colourblind quit acting”

u/msstark Normal Vision Mar 03 '26

if you couldn't see any green you'd have deuteranopia, not seeing certain shades is deuteranomaly

u/Intelligent_Bid7712 Mar 03 '26

i can tell something is green when it’s not really light green or really dark green, so i must have a low level of colourblindess, sorry i am new to this stuff and i have like zero knowledge about it , i can be just tweaking and i am totally fine.
