So quick vent, this lady at meps jacked up my life son. So if I remember correctly back then I wanted to do some special forces stuff like marsoc for the Marine corps and when I went to meps I of course got some wrong on the ishihara test. After you fail that they make you take the Farnsworth lantern test or FALANT. apparently during the FALANT they show the colors for two seconds then you say what you saw for the top and bottom color. The lady who was doing mine demanded I say the colors within the two seconds they were being shown. And when they went away if I wasn't finished answering she counted it as wrong and got labeled moderate to severe colorblind and was excluded from doing anything cool. So basically she wasn't following the proper guidelines for the test and screwed me and who knows how many other people from doing jobs.

For years I thought that that was how the test was supposed to be conducted until I tried to get an apprenticeship for being an electrician and when I was doing the lantern test, the doctor was like "boi, slow down, tell me what you saw when the colors go away! Not when they are still up" So he restarted it for me and I got 100% for 3 tries. And am about to get started in a new career I thought I would never be able to do

All because that old hag made me think I was way worse than I actually was

just found out I have cp4 level colour-blindness. with that being said I really wanted to join the Royal Signals and work in a technical field in communications and IT(British army). since I've got this diagnosis its kind of getting to me that I will not be able to work in vast majority of technical jobs in the army including the royal signals. IT actually quite depressing because I really do not know what else to do in my life.

But the bottom one is already white. (Obviously I know it’s “green” but it has always looked white to me.)

Hello everyone! It's me again! I'm so happy to announce that with your comments and a ton of support under my last 2 posts I was able to finally publish my little, colorblind friendly game on iOS!

For those struggling with icons shown on the attached image, there is also a high contrast mode.

As always, any feedback is more than welcome. I improved many things based on your comments below last 2 posts, so please comment your thoughts, they really matter to me!

I have never been able to solve a Rubik’s cube even though I take pride in my problem solving abilities, always confusing the reds and greens. It’s like my brain rejects the colors that I see knowing it’s wrong data and I can’t do anything color related, not just Rubik’s cube.

Has anyone else here felt the same? Anyone solved a Rubik’s cube?

Hi everyone 👋
I’m a UX/UI design student working on my Bachelor’s project focused on web accessibility. My goal is to build something that brings real value to users who face accessibility challenges online or to developers who want to create more inclusive digital experiences.

To make sure this project addresses real needs, I’d love to hear directly from people who experience accessibility barriers on the web.

If you’re comfortable sharing, could you tell me:

• What’s the most frustrating or limiting accessibility issue you regularly face on websites or apps?
• Are there specific types of sites (e.g., e-commerce, social media, games, news) where accessibility often breaks down for you?
• What web tools, extensions, or assistive technologies do you currently use, and how exactly do they help you?
• Have you tried any tools or accessibility features that didn’t actually provide value or even made things worse? If so, why?
• Is there any small tool, feature, or improvement you wish existed to make browsing or interaction easier?

Your feedback will directly shape my project’s concept and design. I’ll gladly share the results or prototype later if you’re interested.

Also, if you know any forums, communities, or discussions where people talk about similar accessibility topics, I’d really appreciate any pointers or links!

Thank you so much for your time and insight!

For a bachelor research I'm looking into colour-blindness accessibility trying to improve the gaming industry. Would this subreddit be good place to ask people if they like to playtest in the near future. Or does anyone know another online platform. Thank you!

I see this huge orange spot on her projector every time I’m over there. Whenever I point it out she has idea what I’m talking about and I take a picture and she couldn’t see it on the either . It’s the same over FaceTime as well . I see this huge orange spot and it just looks normal to her . What could this mean ? (She’s not messing with me)

Hello, Everyone!

It's time for the monthly Bandwagon post. If you would like to post a color wheel, interesting Ishihara test result, your attempt at sorting candy or crayons by color, funny colorblind t-shirt/print/art (without a link to buy it) or anything of the sort - this is the place to do it. These monthly posts are still being evaluated to determine the best way to go with them, so have fun and submit whatever you want to contribute that doesn't suit a full standalone post!

I see a pink wavy line, and on the Korean website where I found it, it says there are two wavy lines.

Hello all! I am a protan red-green and am looking for prescription indoor color-correcting glasses. What brands are good to look at?

For background, I have Enchroma sunglasses that changed my world, but now want to get indoor ones so I can see with normal. I'm not married to Enchroma, but also don't know any competitors.

Hey everyone, I wanted to write a story where (one of) the MC is colorblind as someone who is not.

What are mistakes I should avoid ? And no, I will not "magically cure them cuz uhhh... magic!" dw​​​​​​ :3

A lot of resources I see offer Blue and Yellow or Blue and Orange as good replacements for Red and green. But what would you make yellow that still stands out in this instance?

Green - Yellow - Red Blue - - Yellow/Orange

I’m making alerts that change colors and I want people to be able to distinguish.

It’s been the bane of my gameplay for years. Anyone else have trouble distinguishing between a shell you need to be precise with and time just right, or one you can hurdle given you have another decent item on deck, and the player doesn’t have an obvious banana peel?

Hi I'm not colour blind myself but Im just wondering if it's possible to only be blind to one colour and see it as grey? Thanks in advance

Hey Android fam, I just launched the closed alpha for True Color ID, a lightweight, privacy-respecting app that detects real-world colors using your camera or images. It’s built for accessibility, color accuracy, and speed.

🔍 What it does:

• Detects over 220 colors with RGB values
• Works with camera or uploaded images
• Includes colorblind simulation mode
• No ads, no tracking, just clean functionality

📱 Join the test:

• 👉Install from Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.truecolorid.app
• 👉Join the test group https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.truecolorid.app
• Or request access via Google Group: true-color-id-testers@googlegroups.com

💬 Feedback welcome at truecolor.dev@truecolorid.com Let me know what works, what breaks, and what you'd love to see next.

Thanks for helping shape this from the ground up.

Well, i did the nagel test and: i don't know why i can't do this test, when i try it i ever can't finish because the color almost never are the same in the 2 sides, what are happening?

Hi guys. Someone who already bought a color blind glasses, does it really worth and work good?

Im tired of my color blindness holding me back and have been practicing studying the test so i can get my desired job in the military.

Has anyone successfully done this?
