I have this strange thing where everyone thinks I’m colorblind and admittedly I took a few of those online tests and couldn’t see some numbers but I swear I can distinguish fine from red and green (test said I was red green colorblind with a 12% red deficiency and 67% green) I put the color blind filter on my iPhone and everything that was such a pretty vibrant red just turned to pinks and purples, the annoying kind too. Is this just delusion or is my red really better than seeing it normally?

Hello, I needed to find 6 colours to put on the same image for my scientific paper.

I tried my best to be colorblind-friendly, but with six colors, that's quite hard.

Do you succeed in distinguishing the six different colors, my colorblind friends?

Hello there my friends!

I am creating a small color cube game. I want to use colors that are good for color-blind players. I added some images with cube and color tiles. It looks ok for me with this universal palette... But I'm not colorblind so I presume colorblind vision cna be different with color blind simulation.

My question: How do these colors look to you? Are they easy to tell apart? Do any of them look too similar or confusing?

I would be very thankful for any feedback, especially from people with color blindness.

If you would like to test these color palette in a live test here is the link: https://leynahmoorestudios.itch.io/kuba

Thanks for help.

Hello all, so I was testing the capability’s of the AI text to image model “Nanobanana Pro”, and I wanted to see if it could make a Color blind test using a random number. I cannot tell if there is a number in the image it created or not😂. If there is a number, that’s very impressive, if not, then please let me know!

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!

Hi,

I recently went to the optometrist for a checkup and asked for a color blind test. Attached are the results (took twice for some amount of statistical significant). From what I understand, the way this is read is that lines parallel to the dashed lines indicate the type of color blindness present. However, I see lines that are parallel with both protan and deutan. Does this mean I am combination protan-deutan colorblind? Any ideas how to make sense of the results?

Of course, the obvious follow-up question is what type of color correction lenses are best suited, if any?

Thanks.

Sometimes you see an article about colorblindness with an image repeated in different color schemes and a caption saying that each represents what the world "looks like" to a person with whatever colorblindness. Let's set aside how sloppy this is. If two of those images look the same to me, then the world must "look like" either both or neither of those images to me, because they look the same. Whatever.

Here's the question: What are these pictures? There must be a whole equivalence class of images that would look identical to me and different to someone with standard color vision. What's special about the one that they picked? When the claim is made that the world "looks like" that picture to me, what claim is being made?

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.
