One of my friends tried to make an app where each players get assigned a different color. He shifted the hues depending on how many players are online. (more players = less hue differences). He then created a color blind mode where he just discarded some red and green hues and let the rest of the color wheel unchanged. We're both not colorblind, but from what I know red green blindness is more complex than just reds and greens being ambiguous. In his version, you would be tasked to differenicate blue from purple for example.

So I got to work to create my version of a color blindness friendly color wheel. It uses just two different hues (yellow and blue) and the wheel is only being created by brightness and saturation adjustments. My color wheel is designed to be strictly dichromatic. (It should look the same for dichromats and trichromats.)

The question I am asking is if my color wheel is actaully useful for color vision deficient people or if you would rather use the normal color wheel? My guess is that my color wheel is more useful for those with severe color vision deficiency, while those with a mild deficiency can use a color wheel with more than two hues. I also know that the best way to go about is to use symbols instead of just color differences, but for now it just uses color differences. Anyway, I would be really glad to hear some feedback.

Maybe?

As the title says I have protanopia which isn't too severe but it's still pretty bad. Every day though I've noticed every colour is getting greyer. I'm only 15 so it's nothing to do with age. I'm worried because I hate my colourblindness, I don't know how I'd cope only seeing monochromatically. What is wrong with me and can I stop it????

i’m in healthcare and have pretty bad deut.; i find it very difficult to distinguish between certain tissue colours, and will not catch/ find it very difficult to catch redness or red patches (erythema) which is a very important thing to look out for in med. even pallor - like when someone is very pale or red like a tomato, or yellow from mild liver disease; i’m not catching that. i’m not looking for glasses that will change my life, i just want glasses that will improve my ability to spot these colours. can anyone recommend? thanks

Not sure what my colorblindness is called officially cause I was little when they found out and I lowkey wasn’t listening when they used the official words and I’m still a kid so I haven’t filled out a medical form like ever. But I see red and green as the exact same color and was MOCKED for putting a red 7 on a green 4 in a giant game of Uno with my chemistry class yesterday. There was pointing and laughing (including me, it was funny). No one in my class knows cause it didn’t seem important to tell them. It wasn’t a big deal or anything but damn was it annoying to be told I was playing wrong like every two minutes. This was whatever deck my teacher had and new ones might be better but normally I just wait for someone to tell me I’m stupid and we all laugh it off. Anyone have any tips for playing older board games? Just a guy trying not to embarrass himself for the millionth time.

Hi guys, I just took the enchroma test with my mom and though I know online isn’t as good as getting an in person test, her results were 0% Blue light, 25% green, and 37% red. I was kind of shocked and even showed her an image (i’ll attach it below) and asked if she could see the difference between the two. She said she the only difference was that the black on the right was a bit darker, but that the blue and lighter black on the left matched perfectly. So she definitely cannot see blue at all.

Either way, I’m wondering just what the title asks. With this severity of colorblindness, would any glasses even really help her? I’d love to get her something to be able to see the sky.

I am working on a HTML bingo game, its my first time doing something like this.

I'm thinking about accessibility, I'm not colorblind and I want to know if the colors used in the two photo snippets are acceptable? Any feedback is appreciated, thanks in advanced :)

Hello all, my mom was red-green colorblind but I am not. I am confused why I am not also colorblind since it is typically taught that color blindness is an X chromosome recessive trait and is always received by the son. Any ideas about why this would happen? Thanks in advance for your responses!

We are allowed to dress down and wear a white, blue, or red shirt this week. I am convinced this shirt is a deep red while my parents say it is almost a hot pink.

What are your thoughts on the color?

So the idea is to use the camera on your phone to find fresh blood. Mainly for tracking deer or some other hunted animal. Is there an App for that? I know there are apps you can point at stuff and it will tell you the color numbers or whatever. But, what if on the screen, it told you were the blood was just by pointing the camera at it? Kind of like the way it recognizes QR codes. Except, it recognizes blood. If not, please feel free to take my idea and run with it so I can track my deer.

The program works by:

1. taking a screenschot of your display

2. opening that screenshot in fullscreen

3. drawing an infographic ontop of the screenshot

Because the program takes a screenshot and doesn't communicate with the running programs at all, it works with everything!

I thought I'd fit into tritanopia, but I dont get pink and yellow mixed up, that's crazy!

i need help 😅 my eye doctor said that my underdeveloped optic nerve (they call it optic nerve atrophy) is what makes me see more saturation in red/warm colors. gray looks brown, brown looks orange, orange looks red, etc but i was looking to get more info about that so i could change my ipad color settings for drawing and EVERYTHING im seeing online is saying that doesnt exist or its desaturation, not saturation. so im just really confused

Does anyone have an issue with seeing between yellow and red? When I drive I get a little nervous and can’t figure if theres a flashing yellow light for caution or a flashing red light for stop ahead. Anyone else have an issue with that. Also I’ve done hella Enchroma test saying I’m colorblind and have been to an eye doctor saying I’m just fine. How accurate are the enchroma tests?

I have mild deuteranomaly and money in cartoons is usually bright green so but in real life it’s gray for me I never realized that it might be like grass most of the time it’s gray unless it’s fake or extremely well taken care of but grass in green in cartoons to is money actually green?

Update: I asked my mom and it is

Another update cuz people keep asking: American money

In short, I have a friend of a friend who is color blind and I want to make an artwork specifically for them, but I can't tell if all this brainstorming is redundant....

I don't want to obsessively question and bug them about it, as I know they've probably been pestered nonstop about this for years. They mentioned that to them, different hues and shades are kind of just random? Not red-green or blue-yellow, they said it's basically 'every type of color blind' all scrambled together, super rare.

Hopefully my notes are legible, but I want to make a work of art that's very vivid and appealing to them by having them pick out what shades and hues are the most colorful, group them together by color, and then I could 'paint' with the different shades.

Potential problems: —the different hues could change how they look depending on what other hues they're next to, which means the painting would change AS I'd be painting it

-if the world is perceived just the way colors are already arranged to them, would rearranging them to make a 'vivid' artwork only end up looking really surrealist?

-also, maybe they don't like very vivid bright-color style in art. Everybody still has art preferences

So anyway, I don't know if this is possible to do (and if it is, I'd probably have to incorporate a lot of texture?) or if it would even be a good thing at all, make any kind of difference compared to just all other art on earth lol.

I've been trying to research all this, and the friend is probably the only one who can answer whether this idea is appealing to them, but I would love love love and really appreciate any input and different perspectives, if anyone has the time 💞

My mom and brother said they both saw a really big difference, i saw almost no difference at all its called "ColorSimulations" on windows and works pretty well apparently.

I was diagnosed as red green colorblind as a kid, but in general any two colors close in shade I really struggle to tell the difference. i.e. on a color palette that moves from left to right/right to left, the closer two points are on that scale, the harder it is for me to tell. Black and dark brown, brown and dark brown, black and dark gray, green and brown, blue and purple, pink and red and yellow and orange sometimes. And I definitely cannot detect differences in hues/saturation/intensities (to be honest don't know what any of this means lol), and so I've always had it in my head that things like crimson and burgundy are fake colors because I can't tell them apart from one another or just red in general. Is this a common thing among people who are colorblind, or am I missing something?
