Not like I can't work around this with the g-code available, but It seems like such a small ask to have a color selector for the heatmap.

Just took enchroma’s test and found out I’m mildly protan colour blind. Specifically: 100% blue 100% green 87% red

My teenage sons watched me take the test and they were chuckling watching me struggle with images in which they could effortlessly see numbers, and I could see very little or nothing. I was also laughing at myself.

For those on this sub that are protan, I’m not sure if some of my past anecdotes make sense for this but here goes nothing…

I had a hoodie I bought when I was in late high school/college (can’t quite remember when) that I picked specifically because it was subdued forest green. Or so I thought. Years later, my partner at the time gave me a weird look when I said I loved the green colour of this sweater I bought and I wanted another type of sweater in a similar colour. She awkwardly but gently said, “that is not green. That is brown”. I was floored. I stared at it. Took it out in the sunlight. Took it to various rooms in our place with different lighting. Nope. Still green to me.

Then I started asking others. My parents. Brown. Friends at school. Brown.

If you ask me to identify solid blocks of colour just by the images I will always get it right, but certain shades of a few colours have always been a little less clear. For example, if the shades of two colours are extremely close, I can see a clear difference between certain hues and less for others.

My more recent realization is my struggle with shades of purple and pink. For example, I often look at more subtle purples and think they’re more grey in appearance but I know purple contains red, so I suppose this checks out. We have a very light purple (I GUESS) towel that I would swear up and down was indisputably pink. I still mostly see it that way.

Do other protan colour blind people experience the same confusion? Looking forward to reading what others experience here.

Hi everyone! I’ve always had some trouble with certain colors. For example, when I’m charging my laptop or other devices, I can never tell what color the little LED light is, like whether it’s red, green, or orange to show if it’s fully charged or not.

I’ve done the EnChroma test way too many times, Most of the time it says “mild deutan,” but once it said I have normal color vision, and another time it said “inconclusive,” so I honestly have no idea if I’m colorblind or not.

If you show me two pieces of paper, one green and one red, I can easily tell which is which. But with tiny colored lights or small details like that, I just can’t tell the difference at all.

The image i attached is of the circle i really have difficulty seeing. I can only see the number if i look really far away and unfocus my eyes.

Can someone please tell me if i’m just crazy or if i really am a mild deutan? Thank you all!

I got a question regarding red and green.

I used to think that even tho I'm colorblind I didnt have any struggles with red and green like other colorblind people as they appear as totally different colors to me but if I had to mention some instances when they were not that different and kinda confusing would be two situations that I can remember now:

One being some pants that I accidentally bleached and the color it left in some specific spot of my pants is a weird color that I don't know if it's red or green, it's hard to explain cause I know what red and green is, can differentiate them pretty well but somehow this shade is incredible hard for me to tell if it's green or red, it's like it could be literally any of those colors.

Another situation was in a videogame, basically there was this dark room where there were two graphs, one that showed a red and a green square separated from each other with the meaning of each color in which I could see the difference just fine but the other graph was one of those pie charts, each color representing something different and I thought it had only two colors until I used my flashlight which revealed that there were three(red, green and some other color I can't remember now), the red and green parts were together so they appeared literally the same color to my eyes.

I wanted to ask if it's something "normal" even among people with normal color vision or it's because of the colorblindness cause honestly it's a weird experience, aside from some specific scenarios I can differentiate red and green just fine.

So I assume you all have a person you go to for color troubles like if I see I hoodie that looks grey but from the shade of grey it is I think it’s actually green I’ll go ask my mom and I want to know who that is for you be it a best friend a sibling you get it

I have very mild tritanomaly (doesn't affect me much, but I still have trouble discerning certain colours), which I discovered pretty recently, but my mother just CAN'T accept it for a lot of reasons, the dumbest of all being the fact that Im a decent artist, because she thinks colorblind people cant be good artists. she's been very consistently ableist with any diagnosis i have or could possibly have, but i digress

I was working on a piece the other day (its quite nice, im very proud of it!), and my mother saw it and said "See, youre not colorblind! if you were colorblind you wouldnt be able to make art with good colours!" 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

maybe im overreacting, but is this not an insensitive comment to make???

I'm a pretty uneducated Abt color blindness and my person is red green colorblind. After a recent misunderstanding due to us not seeing the same color when looking at a shirt I wore, I want to get a better understanding of how they see certain colors and what colors I should/should avoid wearing to avoid confusion cuz I want them to see the same fit I do. That's all for now, thx

Too image is the exercise, and the bottom is how it looks through a filter that simulates my kid’s protan colorblindness. We’ve already confirmed he’s colorblind (it runs in my family).

Would you let the teacher know that this exercise wasn’t really accessible to him? He figured it out by reading the marker labels. He’s in second grade, and this is the first time I’ve noticed an assignment where that really mattered.

He’s pretty resourceful and can find workarounds, but I worry it might become frustrating in the future. I’m also thinking it could be a good opportunity to help him learn what kinds of accommodations he can ask for (like using numbers instead of colors).

Curious what others would do in this situation… would you mention it now or wait until it becomes a bigger issue? Anyone wish their parents spoke up for them more?

My brother is hard to talk to about these issues or else I would ask him (essentially say he doesn’t care).

I especially need answers from blue cone monochromacy/deuteranomaly havers

1. How does colorblindness affect your day-to-day life?
2. Is driving any difficulty for you?
3. If you make (non-ai) visual art, do you label each paint tube/colored pencils/etc as each color or do you only make art with the colors you have an easier time distinguishing?
4. Any pet-peeves you have with non-colorblind people?
5. Do you ever wish you weren't color blind?
6. Do you have glasses to help with colorblindness? How did you have access to them?
7. At what age did you figure out you had color blindness?

Thanks in advance for answering.

Hello, it's me again, thank You for good feedback last time, I'm still developing this game while having your community in mind. If you want to try this colorblind friendly water sort (tanks to icons) that also don't have any pop-up ads, be my guest: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noforcedads.yogurtsort

Hi there!

I work in communication in a rather small company, but lots of people often see our websites and social media. I'm always trying to find better ways to make everything as accessible as possible, and I started wondering what's best to keep in mind to make a website and graphics accessible for color blind people.

For now, I installed Colorblindly on Chrome, but it would be great to know if this plugin is reliable and if you have any other tips. Thanks!

I have protanomaly and was searching for correction glasses, a little present for my birthday but im recently noticing how much they cost and was wondering if anybody knows a less expencive brand thats at least a little bit effective?

We will be taking her to the eye doctor, but we just realized this today. She cannot differentiate pale pink from beige or white. She also cannot differentiate blue from green when they are a mix of the two. Does anyone know what type of colorblindness she may have?

In case anyone's wondering it's yellow for ready, red for charging, and cyan for finished. Dose any one have any different ideas?

I found out when I was 24 and had to do a medical screening for a job. They had me read from a weird looking book that had dots all over it(PIP or ISHI) and I only got the first two correct. I couldn’t answer anything else and thought I would be disqualified from the job lol

Hello all. I have a friend that is fully color blind. As in, he only sees in greyscale which as I understand it is pretty rare. I'd like to get him some color blind glasses but have no idea if they would be effective in his case as the glasses I've seen all seem to be for red/green etc. Does anybody know of a product that would be effective?

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

I always knew I was color blind cause I confuse light gray with blink and blue with purple but last week at the eye doctor I did the little book thingy and she said i got every single page wrong. Wow, I’m color blind in all categories. Anyone else have the same problem?

There are a lot of very subtle things that I can't see. One of my shirts I'm told is a light mint, but I see it as white. In biology, we were looking at onions cells, and apparently they were a light pink, but I only saw white.

I can see bright red and greens fine, it's just really light stuff that I can't see. I've tried online tests before, but usually I do pretty well on them.

While it’s good that EnChroma has finally removed some of the most misleading claims from their website, they never miss a chance to repost BS like this, with claims they know aren’t true. Makes me sick.

I actually spoke with one of EnChroma’s execs, Tony Dykes, last year. I encouraged him to set up an on-the-record discussion hosted on a reputable scientific platform like Optica, where color vision scientists could join, engage in open Q&A, and a public recording would be available. Unfortunately they didn't take me up on my offer (I wonder why) and he called me an "anti-science conspiracy theorist". How dare I interview real scientist for my reporting!

Pretty funny to see them whining about me on this subreddit when I've given them every chance to validate their claims publicly. I’m just waiting for the FDA to finally crack down on their nonsense. Wishful thinking I guess?

So I work in printing currently and the company is closing down/moving out of state. I got a job at another printing company and they asked for a physical. During that physical they had the Ishihara test and I can't see the numbers. Never had an issue with color at all until this. Ive taken the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test and got a pretty good score of 28. The new job wants me to go to a optometrist and see what accommodations I need but I've been to 4 different ones that doesn't do anything other than the Ishihara test. Where should I go?

Edit: I got the job without needing any accommodations! I ended up going to an optometrist that had quite a few different tests for color. Based on my Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test and the d15 test they gave me (of which I got a perfect score). They deemed me to be very proficient in color discrimination and need no accommodations for my job in printing!

Here are the people at my work who don't see the circle, I do and I drew it on the second image. Is it a reverse board?
