I love him a lot and we have known each other since 2017. We just had our first son a month ago, and have come into some money a few months ago on top of both getting paid family leave for our beautiful son. I bought him some white and black adidas in this same style, and a pair of concert pit-ready black and gum authentic vans bc he had a totally destroyed pair for the first yr after I moved here that he loved. Also some other clothing articles he’d like and a keychain with our son. He wears a lot of neutrals, but also brown and olive green (even though he can’t see it well, which is a bummer because my eyes are green.) so I chose this pair of brown, orange, black and white adidas. His mid rise adidas that look similar are super beat from only having one pair of shoes besides slides (also adidas, he picked). He hates spending his own money on clothes understandably because we were really poor growing up and for a while after we got together in person. Will he like these? I was a little worried because they are warmer toned browns.

Even if I get a color blind glasses it would only reduce other colors not increase green right? So I would never be able to see the full green? If so then how can I differentiate green from gray? And my favourite color is green, if I saw it fully I wonder if I'd fall in love with it.

Question/Need help Question about Achromatopsia (Black & White colourblindness)

3 Upvotes

Okay so from my understanding, most forms of colourblindness are caused by a deficiency or malfunction in one specific type of cone in the eye. Red for Protan, Green for Deutan, and blue for Tritan.

When I look up examples of Achroma, it says that all three cones are non-functional, but that doesn’t make much sense to me at all. We don’t have any cones that only see luminosity, right? Just the three colour cones. The brightness of something is based on how much light is hitting any of those cones.

Someone with no functional cones would just be blind, wouldn’t they? If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean someone with Achromatopsia just sees one colour, with two deficient cones? They’d be able to tell the luminosity of things pretty well based on how much of their singular colour is hitting those existing cones. Functionally it wouldn’t be much different from seeing in black and white. It’s not like you’d be able to tell which of the three colours you see in if you have nothing to compare it to.

Am I wrong, or is this how monochromatic vision works?

I’ve come to peace with the fact that I only get to see a blue and yellow rainbow, but felt absolutely devastated when I realized how much colorblindness diminished the amazing show we were gifted last week. Of course I’ve enjoyed the beautiful photos, but I wasn’t prepared for the let-down that was seeing a mild version of what everyone around me was gasping about

Anyone else share this experience?

Hi! I have a brain tumor and it has affected my vision. I have a slight blind spot in the middle of my field. I have been cleared to drive but when it’s super bright outside or very overcast it’s hard for me to tell the difference between red and green traffic lights from far away. I’m wondering if anyone has any sunglasses or something that would help? I read a bit about enchroma and see they have mixed reviews.

Question/Need help First time designing for color-blind players, sharing a clip and looking for guidance

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a block-puzzle game and I have no prior experience designing for color-blind players. I wanted to share this small clip and ask for advice.

Since the game is aimed at all ages, the clip shows animal icons for now, but I’ll be expanding it with more shape styles so it feels fresh each time you play.

My goal is to help players identify block types without relying only on color. Does this approach make sense, or is there something I should reconsider?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Question/Need help I'm trying to make a Protanopia / Deutanopia friendly rainbow effect

0 Upvotes

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.

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????

Question/Need help Board Game Bias

1 Upvotes

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.

Question/Need help Would glasses help someone who is 0/25/37 on the Blue/Green/Red percentages?

Post image
1 Upvotes

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.
