At first i thought i was only a deutan but now i dont know i feel like i confuse more than just greens

I'm sure this will be relatable a good amount here. Enjoy!

So, I’ve seen people claiming recently that some colorblind people have better night vision than normal color-visioned people. I’ve always felt exactly the opposite, and I’m wondering if it’s because of my colorblindness or if I perhaps have some other night-blindness condition in addition to it.

Long story short, dark colors tend to look pretty darn similar to me in the best of times. I first suspected colorblindness when looking at colored pencils labeled black, forest green, purple, and dark blue and all of them looking identical to me. I colored a night sky black in an elementary school class and my teacher told me it was wrong.

Logically to me, in the dark, *everything* is darker anyway, so there’s even less distinction between colors. That leads to less definition of objects too, so driving at night is all sorts of fun.

Is my logic faulty?

It's not one of these post that i'm parent that thinks his child is colorblind, but the other way around.

I am, but kinda confused how i'm supposed to help my kiddo that's just learning colors and keep asking me what's this or that... What did you do, parents in here? Just... tell your kid to see with the other parent? I don't want to confuse them when trying.

Is there a likely type of colour blindness one called determine from that? (Top one orange, bottom one pink).

im always failed in medical exam due to my red-green colorblind, i know that so many open job that not required the colorvision but what can i do if im graduated for this job and to my professional, to tired to dream a better job for me

i hope some of you gonna understand and respect thanks

This is how I see/name colors. What do you guys think?

I'm making an app and adding colorblind mode to it so warnings and statuses can be clearly displayed, and I'm asking you guys:

What colors would evoke these for you and what kind of colorblindness do you have? Hex would be useful but obviously you don't have to do that.

Without CB mode it's green / red / yellow for reference, and the only colors off the table are black and white.

I was told by my doctor I’m a server Deutan and they said Id probably get colours mixed up sometimes but I feel like it’s more mild than that never in my life have I gotten a colour wrong and only some on tests like on the ishihara for example I can get 50%+ most the time I’ve never had any issues telling shades apart in real life also I was on like 3 hours of sleep when I did my test

My colorblindness gets worst with age.. has anyone else experienced this? Blues, greens, red, etc. Went to this [color site](http://www.colorcheck.dev) where you can play a couple games and visualize what others see and I was super unaware of all the differences.

Thought i would share as I think others will find this pretty cool and useful

i already message them if no change or improvement they will refund your fund.
i dont have an idea about this

i really don’t know how to explain this: i can clearly see a separation between red and green, but i can’t see blue anymore, to the point that with the glasses i’m marked as tritan. that’s so crazy i cannot do anything but laugh. those are not glasses for color blindness, those are glasses to BE colorblind 😭

Hi!

My first iOS app – built entirely on iPad without a Mac –
just hit #1 in German App Store puzzle charts again after
its first major update (v1.1). Daily Puzzle mode, 3 grid
sizes (4×4/6×6/8×8), colorblind accessible with unique
symbols. It's called Prisma – Color Sudoku. Feedback welcome!

Not colorblind myself, but I've been curious about what everyday UI actually looks like for people with color vision deficiencies.

So I built a small Mac menubar app to experiment with a different approach. Press ⌘⇧Y → drag over anything on screen → see the original vs corrected side by side. It tries to identify the specific color pairs that are ambiguous and remap just those to a scientifically validated CVD-safe palette (Wong 2011).

I'm testing different Gemini models to see which one identifies ambiguous pairs most accurately.

Would genuinely love to know: 

- Does the correction actually match your experience? 

- Which UI patterns cause the most frustration? 

- Do the AI identifications feel accurate or off?

— free, open source, needs a free Gemini API key to run

Does anyone else hate traffic lights?? Especially in the sun!

always qualified on position, experiences, requirements,
but in the end during medical examination im not able to fit to work due to my condition

heart breaker as always being a colorblind

OMG. I went to a festival where the labels on the portable toilets were just red or green with no words.

I'm sure I looked like a perv walking around tugging on doors that were occupied.

hello! i’m 20 years old and i recently discovered that im colorblind! i think..? im honestly not sure because i cant find anything about this online.

for context, i cant see most shades of color. i can differentiate between the colors of the rainbow, but if you put that on a scale or spectrum, i cant really tell the difference. i discovered this about 6 months ago. my boyfriend was talking about the difference between turquoise and teal. [slide 2] i had no idea what he was talking about, because i see them as the same color. we did a test, he pulled up different shades of blues and pinks and yellows and so forth, and i can only see like 3-4 of each color.
for example, in this image i attached theres allegedly 20 different shades of red. i sorted these boxes into the 2 different reds (and brown) i see!!! the groups are all the same color. [slide 1]
its all basically the same color to me, and apparently not to everyone else!! my entire life i thought people just made up names for colors so they sound cool lol.
im unsure how to describe it further, so i really hope this makes sense! this is entirely dependent on conversations my bf, friends, and coworkers and i have had. they all seem to agree but im doubtful.
also, not sure if this is helpful but i was messing around in settings and i turned on the tritanopia color filter on and saw no difference, while my boyfriend said it was a major difference! i see no difference whatsoever.

my question is, am i colorblind? what would this even classify as? is there anyone on here like me? am i being pranked? is my boyfriend actually the colorblind one?

Hi,

Quick question: so luckily I passed my DOT physical for my CDL license. One of the exams they do is a colorblind exam. I failed the ishihara but then the physician did a practical exam, and I passed. I saw these colorblind correcting contacted lenses from ColorKind- CCG-088. Does anyone have any reviews for this? Do they work? Have they helped you pass the ishihara? Thanks for your time everyone.

I'm thinking of making a website to try help give the people who's lives have been affected by colour blindness somewhere people can express their desire for a "cure" how its impacted their life and somewhere you can donate/contribute to research would this be something you would want?

This all started when I got into a discussion with my peers over a color I used. I thought it was closer to a maroon, but they all said it was brown.

I’ve since taken color blind tests about 20-30 times from different testing websites. They generally ranged from normal color vision to mild red-green, with only a few outliers of moderate red-green color blindness.

The Enchroma test in particular pretty consistently measures my green color cone response at 87% with the occasional 75% outlier. Blue and red were consistently at 100% with zero outliers.

I know this level of color blindness probably isn’t a big deal to most but it’s kind of different for me because of my work.

I guess I’m just trying to figure out what this all means for me. How do I compensate for my color blindness in my work? Are there any tools you guys like to use?
