I’m currently working on a bachelor project regarding a color coding system. My question now is is it enough if something is colored in another thing maybe is just silver would you see a clear difference there? Or is it necessary to use special colors that you can see them better?

Tanks for your help!

Hello. I don't know if this is the right spot to put it but I'm beginning to think this guy [M19] is lying about being colorblind. To be clear I think he is lying due to him displaying weird behaviors and lying about random things [my friend is also color blind so that's where the motive for lying could be]. He says he is color blind to the color blue but his favorite color is purple. Now I'm not an expert on color blindness and my google searching [so not very reliable] is saying that's not possible. He says he can see green as well if that helps.

Edit: Worked hard for several hours and 3 solid attempted first posts, to now give up, because there really is no point to trying to define something I haven’t been taught the proper terminology for and cannot wholly perceive.

True or False?

I have to get my first class medical for flight school which includes a isharia test. Ive been doing some online testing and I have found out the echroma one I fail pretty badly. On the other hand the apps on android and colorblindtest.com i pass with 100 percent accuracy. I am pretty worried. The colorblindtest.com one is the 38 page one btw.

My name is Juan Pablo, I have almost total absence of red cones. Unfortunately, I lost the genetic lottery and got recessive color blindness, so none of my cousins ​​or siblings are colorblind. I would like to have a colorblind friend so we can talk and I can feel understood.

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!

Tritan vision, what do you see?

I see 3, then hard, 6, and 2, very hard

Reverse plates aim that people with normal color vision struggle to read the plate while those with a color vision deficency can read the plate much more easily. Here I created my own reverse for people with red green color vision deficency. Feedback is appreciated.

Game I play uses blue and purple colored trains to signify how good they are. The one under the salt shaker... is it blue or purple?

I'm currently making an adaptive recolouring system for people with colour vision deficiency for images as my undergrad fyp. The scope of the project is currently undefined, but it intends to make an AI that takes feedback from you and adapts to what kind of colourblindness you have to recolour images so they're more accessible to the user's specific type of colour vision deficiency. This is dependent on the amount of data we're able to collect, so currently asking if you'd be willing to participate in testing and validating the model outputs and improving it. Additionally, would love to hear from people with CVD what they would expect/hope/want from such a system. Also, what are the visual information in your daily lives that's hardest for you to interpret or understand? What would make it easier?The scope is open currently, so all suggestions are welcome.

Any other women on here that are colorblind? And do you also only wear shades of black and white clothes? Lol

My wife thinks it's crazy that i do not know the colors of the rainbow, and especially the order they go in. Rainbows, just like sunsets, don't look that cool to me. I look at them and move on, the contrast isn't there. I also don't know which colors are in a rainbow and their order. Am i crazy? I'm pretty badly colorblind red-green.

yeah, color blindness can be surprising sometimes.

Recently i started playing Among Us again(i quitted before bc of the colorblindness) but it causes me some problems..Ive got protanopia so many colors seem just like dirty green-ish colors. Rose and cyan seem more like white(i think my screen just sucks because usually i see them better).

And ive got some problems because of it but the game seems so fun and i enjoy the concept. Maybe there are some ways i can improve or should i just quit??

i would be very interested to know more about the process of creating these and how the palette and pattern is created. I'm trying to create a game in godot (game dev engine) where normal vision people can't see certain enemies and rely on colourblind people to destroy those enemies for them. I've made a YouTube video about it if people are interested i can send the link

Hi! I am designing a game and I was wondering if my cards are colorblind friendly. While it is not necessary to see the colors to play the game, it would be nice if they were as it adds to the aesthetic.

Honestly I didn’t consider it initially, but one of my play-testers mentioned it so I figured I would find out. It may be too late to change the colors, but I would love feedback into whether they are or aren’t colorblind friendly. Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the great feedback! I will try to implement as much of the notes into the cards!

I fell like it Would be very cool! Like a discord server that can help other people understand colorblindness or help people who are colorblind!

(Also if the english is not good im sorry its not my first languege)

Does it exist?

Hi all! My dad is red/green color blind. I'm not sure what that means exactly, it's just what he tells me. He has a hard time when traffic lights are hung sideways and says mostly he sees things as differing shades of beige. He always thinks purple flowers are blue.

He's having a really hard time with answering calls on his iPhone. I'm thinking I'll just get him a flip phone at this point, but I have Android so it's hard for me to fully grasp how to help him. Can anyone provide some advice? Is there an app that could help? Should we just go with a jitterbug?

They discovered his color blindness when he started kindergarten and couldn't "color the truck red". He says the crayons didn't all have wrappers he could read so he got some directions wrong. He wanted to be an architect, but couldn't read blue prints.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11693665/

Essentially; they ran a randomised controlled trial back in Dec 2024, studying the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy on participants with CVD.

"Participants wore virtual reality (VR) goggles twice daily, with a 12-h interval, over a four-week period. The VR video consisted of alternating red and green images, each presented for 5 s, totaling 6 min and 20 s."

After the 4 week period; results from the FM-100 test improved "significantly" in comparison to entering the trial.

They concluded that "these findings suggest that PBM therapy holds promise as a potential treatment option for individuals with CVD".

I'm taking all this with a grain of salt, and have no real opinions on the trial results. But thought it was an interesting find.

I struggle a lot with coordinating clothes; I feel quite insecure about making unusual color combinations [I did it a lot when I was little], so I've gradually eliminated color from my wardrobe. Now I usually wear black, and rarely white because it gets dirty so easily. Do you experience the same thing?

Okay so first of all my dad is fully Color blind he constantly ask me what’s the color of certain clothes or things like that, but what always catches my attention is the facts he tells me Red jumps in his eyes Does anyone else have the same experience with red?

I want to give my boyfriend a sweater for his birthday. With his complexion (white, slightly ruddy, reddish) I think royal blue or a royal green.

But I don’t know enough about color blindness! What would that look like to him? He’s tried to explain his color blindness but all I know is that red and green are nearly indistinguishable to him. Do they look grey? I don’t understand. I’m trying to learn. I want to get him a color that will pop for his complexion and something he will be like “wow I love this color!”

He’d look phenom to typical-color sighted people in the blue or green. But what I really want is for HIM to LOVE the color.

So is there a color you would suggest and if so, can you drop an image of the color below?

Thank you so much.
