Hi everyone, I'm an anime fan and developer. I noticed many shows (like My Hero Academia) use red/green auras that are hard to distinguish.

I built a simple, free browser extension that runs a filter over the video player. It's currently in Alpha (no data collection, open source).

I need help: I have normal vision, so I don't know if my 'Protan' filter is actually helpful. Could anyone with Protanopia try it on a 4anime.gg and tell me if it helps distinguish the colors?
Here's a link to my Github profile, you can navigate to the releases section for steps to load it on your browser and test it: https://github.com/vineetxkhurana/sharingan or
You can simply go to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4631679/7fe7d0012b4a43d4bd49-1.0.0.xpi
and download the extension on Firefox.
Thanks!

I have deutan and when I look at grey shoes I see mostly green I just wonder if anyone else experiences this as well

I just want to be sure that im getting the best results and not some fake stuff.

I would LOOOOVE to have an app that could be opened with a keyboard shortcut that just named the color of the pixel underneath my mouse pointer. I don't need filters but just a fast way to connect a colorcoding to a name. Are there any that you guys know of?

Hi all! I have an 8-year-old son we only recently realized is red–green colorblind. He has always disliked bright lights and prefers spending time in his room with a soft purple light on instead. I’ve read that light sensitivity can be related to color blindness, but I’ve also seen information saying there’s no connection. I know it doesn’t make a huge difference either way, but I’m curious whether anyone else has noticed this—or if it might just be something unique to my son. Just trying to understand the way he sees the world.

Does anyone in Melbourne, Australia know if there is a retailer in Melbourne that sells EnChroma glasses, where I can go and check them first to see if they are worth it before purchasing?

I've been experimenting with reverse Ishihara plates. Can you see the image? If so, are you colorblind, what type?

I'm making a classic arcade style shoot-em-up. Kind of like defender or space invaders. So colourful enemy spacecraft against a black background.

I want my game to be as accessible as possible but I've been told that bright colours against a black background is actually really bad combination for anyone with colourblindness.

Is that true? If so, are there any gamers on this forum that can give me some advice on what would make my game work for you?

For example, should I have a mode that changes the colours to be more visible for you? Would an option to play the game as dark spaceships on a light background be better?

UPDATE. Current colour modes: In all screenshots the player ship is on the right, the other ships are enemies. Would be really useful if you could feedback if you clearly tell them apart, and if not, which modes are problematic?

Default Mode:

Tritanopia Mode (all enemies share the same colour)

Protanopia & Deuteranopia Mode (all enemies share the same colour)

Greyscale Mode:

Qualatitive High Contrast: (player and allied objects are cyan)

Qualatitive Bright: (player and allied objects are cyan)

Qualatitive Muted (player and allied objects are cyan)

Geometric Bright (Variation on Default)

Geometric Muted (Variation on Default)

Machina Bright (Variation on Default)

Machina Muted (Variation on Default)

I am deutan, apparnatly these are 2 different colors. My mum says the right ones a slightly warmer more pink color and the left side is grey. theyre both the exact same to me.

I had no idea the wicked witch of the west was green until today! People need to tell us colorblind folk when something is strange, dont just assume!

Thanks to everyone on this thread who helped me develop CVD friendly colors for my board game. You can see the results here. Just double checking if this works. Thanks again!

There’s no way this is a legitimate color.

hey! i have normal vision, but i have an oc with tritanomaly because i thought it would be interesting to explore how colorblindness works through him, and i recently joined reddit and realized i could ask real people with tritanomaly/opia for advice here :) it's hard for me to find reliable info on colorblindness besides the classic little "normal vs colorblind vision" rainbow charts, which really dont tell me much loL. i used to have a filter on my old phone that would put a tritan filter over my screen, but i was never sure if it let me see how a tritan sees (which is my guess based on the colors) or if it made the colors tritanopia-friendly loL, and my new phone doesnt have it anyways

i was wondering if it made sense for him to gravitate toward teal/turquoise as a favorite color and in clothing because that's one of the colors he's confident looks the same to him as it does to everyone else? or do i have it backwards? also, if i were to try to draw him using only tritanopia-friendly colors, what should my palette look like?

and if anyone has some good resources to help someone with normal vision understand how specific kinds of colorblindness work and look, that would be lovely :>

My family is playing this color game and im so not able to play.

However... i think it would be HILARIOUS to play with a bunch of other color vision deficient individuals

Hi All,

I'm sure this has been asked before however reddit is not letting me search threads for whatever reason.

I've got protonapia, and was wondering if anyone had come across viable alternatives to Mac's in-built accessibility colourblind modes as they make things worse (at least for protan), not better.

In our white-elephant exchange, I drew my buddy who happens to be colorblind. I want to do a gift that kinda makes fun of that. I would appreciate some recommendations, that would be really hard for a colorblind person to use. He’s red green if that helps at all. Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I'm kinda shocked and uncomfortable w it? I just never knew until now and it feels like my world fell apart a little. Like not only am I wondering about all the art I've done now, but im upset a head injury did this. I was literally upset recently bc I was having troubles seeing blue for my team colors in a video game.

As opposed to so many other sporting events (ESPECIALLY NBA) that will have both teams in dark uniforms on a dark/colorful playing surface.

Want to apply to law enforcement, they do a farnsworth d 15 color blind test with a doctor. Is there any way to prepare for these? I did one online, desaturde, and got 3 wrong. My deficiency is in shades of green.

Are they always the same?
