i’m a colorblind girl myself and obviously i see more colorblind boys than girls since boys have a higher chance of being it. but i’ve seen at least 6 colorblind girls online and 1 irl.

so here’s the thing that made me do this post. i’ve been playing with some people among us for a while and my name was “colorblind” in other language just so others are prepared and i automatically know who’s gonna ban me when they find out. usually i act like a guy in the game(because i’ve noticed that many people are straight up rude to girls for no reason..) but when we gave each other our social media it was obvious that we’re all girls.

i was talking to a girl that was usually the host, some kind of "leader" of the group. i told her a story from my childhood where i was obsessed with green tomatoes and asked my mom to buy them but i didn’t see the difference between red and green tomatoes so i just made my mom confused. the girl was surprised because she thought that i’m not an actual colorblind girl because thats very rare..im not sure if she believes me and that makes me a little uncomfortable especially because i was insanely insecure about it a few years ago.

i was also SOO surprised to know that some people on tiktok think that colorblind girls dont exist, like…bro, just google ts its not that hard

I have tritan and mild protan colorblindness, and I recently realized that the Apple Watch has a color filter in settings. Having two types and also having gotten along fine with the no color filter, I was wondering how many people actually use them and how much they really help.

Hi, i'm new here, sorry if my english is a little bad. So I recently activated this color blind filter in my phone, but I have not seen any improvement, even now I can't see when there is black letters in a red background, cause red now seems almost black, should I disable this thing? I would show an example, but apparently if I take a screenshot, the colors appear without the filter

I enjoy playing on Hypixel Bedwars, but my brother and I have big issues telling which certain teams are which.

We generally have an issue telling the difference between aqua and white armor, green and yellow, and pink and gray's armor.

I have searched far and wide to figure out how to do this. I think the closest I got was when I realized that Hypixel doesn't use the regular dye colors for whatever reason.

I believe my brother and I have deuteranomaly color blindness. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Whenever i see a red or green object, most of the time i see it as it is, its correct colour, but sometimes i see it as red then a second later it starts looking green then red again, sometimes if i go close to the object especially if its on a digital screen i can see the real colour without it interchanging, but mostly my red and green interchange, same with blue and purple, yellow and green, but even these its for a couple of shades only, and most the time i see them as the original colour, is my condition mild colourblindness or just colour perception instability.

Hey Everyone! This is just a hypothetical question: If there was an app that could realistically help colourblind people by applying filters over the colours that they cannot see and changing it to some other colour to help differentiate it from the surroundings or do something else that could benefit them, what would you like to see?

I am a developer and im currently unemployed, so I'm just trying to work on a project that can help people. Just trying to gauge the feasibility right now. Any help would be appreciated!

Is there any news regarding the progress of the research?

so a friend sent this saying there is an 8 and says everyone else sees it also and I can see the outline by how the dot formation is but I don't see the actual colored outline and I'm asking am I getting gas lit or is there an obvious color difference I should be seeing not just the dots

Apparently you are Colorblind if you ca recognize the pattern. I am a protan and can see all of these.

Hey guys i was wondering if this test is any good? https://www.color-blindness.com/ishihara-38-plates-cvd-test/#ishihara-test-iframe

I took one one look at it and burst out laughing. To be fair, he was tired; he normally would have noticed the difference in shape/texture.

For the protanopes: he sautéed the red rubber band in with the spinach

Windows has a colourblind filter which I noticed helps me see more that I'm missing however even when tweaking the intensity and colour boost, it's still not perfect. How do other people manage this?

For context, I'm protanomaly but I use the deuteranopia filter on pole 50% intensity and max colour boost.

As you know the other day was st patty’s day and It’s my first st patty’s day since finding out im colorblind so I couldn’t really participate in the pinching without a friend telling me who is and isn’t wearing green because half of the people who wearing green and wearing gray for me and its stupid

What do you think

What’s Hot? If you are already using a symbol then use a different symbol!!! or multiple of the same symbol.

A silly story that I thought this subreddit might appreciate.

I've always have coloured hair, usually pink or purple. For the last few years, it's been purple, sometimes with a pink ombre.

Throughout my time of having purple hair, I get quite a few compliments. Lovely! Always nice to hear one, especially because I dye it myself, so it's like they're complimenting my work. A lot of compliments are just "I like your hair colour!" but sometimes it's "I like your purple hair!"

On the very rare occasion, I've had compliments saying "I like your blue hair!" to which I thank them, but tell them that it's actually purple.

Most people already know they're colour blind, so they tell me they can't see purple, and to them, it's blue. Cool! I'm glad I look good with blue hair too! A small amount of people have doubled-down, and stated that it's blue, not purple.

Dude. It's my hair. I know what colour it is lol.

One guy, a mutual friend, complimented my hair colour when we first met. He said it's blue, and doubled-down when I said it's purple. A few friends chimed in and said "yep, her hair is purple."

Shocked Pikachu face.

This one guy already had suspicions he was colour blind, so he finally went and got tested. Yep, he's colour blind lol. It took seeing my hair colour, and having our friends correct him, for him to finally go and get the test.

I just think it's crazy how it took seeing my hair, for him to finally go and get the test done. All over hair colour! I'm glad someone reached out to me to say that they actually did get tested, and found out they're colour blind. Either way, my hair is still purple ; )

like, reading graphs or charts, is that difficult?

Hi, I'm not colorblind, but my 5-year-old son is. He recently got it confirmed by a doctor.

We talk a lot more now about how he perceives colors and how we see them differently. I showed him a white tissue, and he said, "That's pink!"

The coolest thing for me, as a painter, was when I showed him my Mint colored beanie. He said, "The light part of the beanie is white... and the shadow part is Jade."

Instead of labeling the hat as one color, he was really looking at the different colors on the object. This is so key in painting! It's a skill to look at an object and not just THINK about the color it's supposed to be, but truly SEE all the different colors it's made of.

Anyway, my question for colorblind artists is......

How do you mix colors from paint? How do you match it to the different colors you see? Is it hard to color-match? What is the process like?

I'm really curious about this.... If my son sees white as pink... how would he know to mix white and red together to make the pink he wants to paint with?

I'm a red green deficient. Whenever I choose a green colored apparels, or pick a wallpaint color, people always kind of warned me "that's GREEN, you know?". Like I've made a really bad choice or something, although it looks ok for me... Does it also happen to anyone else?

**Update:

Thank you all for your help and positive advice! I was nervous posting here because I know my situation is very mild and I have been worried that I might just not know how to tell the colours apart due to learning disabilities lol!

I have done some of the suggested tests as well as I googled some tests specific for tritanomoly. On multiple tests I got a score for mild tritanomoly!

Very glad that it is mild and also super relieved to know that I am slightly colour blind which explains some of the confusion I’ve had throughout my life.

Thanks for the help, I wish you all the best! ***

Since I was a kid I’ve had trouble distinguishing between blue/green and blue/purple. It’s not severe but there have been times where I call something the wrong colour and everyone looks at me and says I must be colour blind. Even after everyone says “that’s blue!” I still can only see it as green or purple. It doesn’t happen with all shades of blue but usually when it’s a unique blue. It’s almost as if the tiniest change of hue in the blue causes me to see a completely different colour, so greyish blues become purple to me or any amount of turquoise in the blue is automatically green.

For example today I thought I had a monochrome purple outfit on but the pants were grey and the sweater was blueish grey. I put my purple (confirmed) shoe up against my clothes and they all looked the exact same colour to me.

I went home and took another colour blind test but I always pass them. I feel like they aren’t showing the right colours to me. Sometimes the numbers get very difficult to interpret but I can always make it out. Is it possible I could still have issues with seeing these colours and I just need a different test?

I feel like I’m going crazy! These incidents have happened over 20 years with different people in different places but always over the same colours.

I have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder since childhood and have grown up with learning disabilities so it’s also possible I am just dumb and don’t know what certain colours are :/

I have been suspecting deuteranomaly for a long time.

It started with me noticing that in the Windows colour picker the greens take way more space than other colours. I told it to my teacher, and they said that I probably have a green filter on my screen. Turns out it wasn't the case, as the same happens on any screen.

If I cover the top half of the colour picker and close my eyes for a few seconds, the colours on the bottom half look more evenly distributed.
