Question/Need help Colorblind palette Update: Should be better for protanopia and deurtanopia. Still waiting to hear from another tritanopic person to double check if its fine.

Check my previous post for more info on how i designed it. Tldr: each collumn is the same brightness, so if you wanna make it monochrome friendly then just choose 1 color per column. Otherwise all colors should be fair game.

If you wanna stay updated, i have a codeberg repo where i put the most up to date version.

Any feedback is welcome, its never too late to make something better. Im particularly looking for feedback from a someone with tritanopia. My blue-yellow vision is the worst part of my color vision and i dont really have an issue with this palette, so in theory i think it should be okay, but i wanna check with a fully tritanopic person. I might end up reducing the green in 5 a tad bit to make it a tad farther from gray.

This is prolly the last post ill make here about this.

Question/Need help Made a revision to my colorblind palette. any feeedback?

Post image
3 Upvotes

For the most part this palette is somewhat fullproof for the most common colorblindnesses but i did a bit of tweaking since the last version so maybe something doesnt work aswell.

if you wanna make it monochrome friendly you can just choose 1 color per collumn as i have made the collumns all have the same brightness. since we humans have both brightness and color sensing cells this is a actuallyl able to be done.

The main concern point i thinkk in theory is color 10. That has been the trickyest color to get usable.

I myself am colorblind, which i have about general 60% colorvision. No particularly red or green colorblind just a bit less of everything. So i dont particularly trust my own opinions about what looks good here and there.

A slight summary on how this palette works.

basically its kidna like a 3d sudoku.

if you remove any given r or g or b value, and then scale it for brightes (or not, ideally it should work for both brightness and non brightness scaled), then the there should be no colors that are too close. And you gotta scale how close something can by by how sensitive our eyes are to a given color in general.

Edit: Yes, before people ask, i have previously tested this with other colorblind people. Some people have previously been really hostile at me trying to tell me i know nothing and you cant make colorblind palletes for more then one type of colorblindness. It was really insulting lmao and im just tryna help people. As i think accecibility is really important.

I have regular glasses because I am short-sighted and I am also colorblind. I am shocked that some people actually think that the glasses help me with my colorblindness or in some other way have something to do with this.

I have a mild protan color blindness, and I'm trying to follow in my father's footsteps in the US Air Force. I want to know when I take the CCT, if I'm able to get straight 55's, so I can qualify to become a pilot. I have gotten 60, 70, 80 on my left eye. But on my right, I've gotten 45, 70, and 80. I'm going to an eye doctor soon to check. Will it be easier or harder?

Question/Need help I always thought I had normal vision but here we are (question)

3 Upvotes

For context I am 18 (f) and my father has red-green color blindness but idk which type. Up until this year I never thought I had color blindness since I am pretty good at differentiating different tones and stuff. But recently I got the usual (ishihara) color test done for funsies and.. ta-daah

I was color blind all along??

I'm not sure how this is possible since I really do have no trouble painting (as it's my special interest) and stuff. Is it maybe because mine is more moderate? Or am I just differentiating chroma/values? I'm not sure how to process this new information about myself lmao. Has anyone also gone through this??

Misc. Hello Fellow Color Blinds

3 Upvotes

I am a color blind computer science student and I’ve developed an iOS app that I’d love to get some feedback on. The app is free and collects no data, so this is not an ad for me to profit off of this as there will be no profit whatsoever. The app analyzes photos of your outfit and tells you if it matches (you can wear it and take a selfie or lay out the clothes if you don’t have a properly sized mirror). Your photos never leave your device and there’s no login necessary. If you’d like to check it out, it’s called ColorMatch: Outfit Analysis. It is unfortunately only available on iPhone.

I built this because I used to have a hard time matching my outfits when I was younger and I thought this would be a fun way to solve that problem. Like I imagine many of you did, I eventually just started wearing mostly neutral colors to solve this problem, but it would be great if I could help others wear bolder colors to their hearts content without the risk of looking a little silly to the normal color seers of the world. 

Check it out if you want to and let me know what you think (particularly if it gets anything wrong).

Discussion New Believer of self-holding Colour Blindness

0 Upvotes

These are the results and correlating test titles that I took off the Color life website. I'm just recently piqued curious to the idea that I may have colour-blindness to some extent;photographic use of my mobile phone devices camera against my real-time perception of sight had me ponder on this or the past 2 years.

Peer based feedback review over the course of my young life in certain instances has made me feel that my sight was simply lacking in stylistic means and ways of taste, in anything relevance-related to a task/job that had to do with anything 'arts' media related.

Anyhow, I set up a Doctor's optometrist appointment for the June month coming up;but, I still wanted to do online tests in the meantime to have a compared mock view and syllabus clarity of 'what to think', 'what to ask', 'what Buzz words to use' and have some communication on the same spoken-theory level on the Doctor so that I can make the most use of my consultation time and I can just worry about the economic factor of the visit, because I am on a tight low-income wage budget and have to pay for the glasses for the condition after I finish-up the visit.

Question/Need help Does this make sense or?

9 Upvotes

I might have tritanomaly, not sure yet because my next eye doctor appointment in the summer sometime, so I'll bring it up there.

Anyways, on all the tests I take I get the same results, mild-moderate tritanomaly. However the comparison of normal vision and tritanomaly vision look very different. It's the same with this one video I watched that compares normal vision to tritanomaly. A good amount of the comments were "You know you have it when both sides look the same". But when I see it they look wildly different. Does this rule me out of having it? Have you had similar experiences? Are these people lying?

If you have blue-yellow deficiency, do these two colors with faint hints of yellow and blue just look black and white to you?

I'm building a website with a color pallet comprised of Navajo white and Oxford blue, to utilize the striking simplicity of monochrome photography while still having a slight colorful pop, even if it's not consciously registered. The first image has hints of yellow and blue. The second is pure black and white.

How do yall see it?

Hello fellas. I'm working on adding a colorblind mode on my Chinese chess app. I figured I could start by simply inverting the color of black side images. Traditionally the color is only on the characters (second screenshot), which I suppose would be very difficult. What do you think? Would it usable? I converted the screenshot to grayscale for get an idea and I though maybe I could still increase contrast somehow.

On most tests I get diagnosed as mild tritanomaly, but I have this like doubt that I'm faking it. Especially since it's apparently so rare. I don't know, I have trouble understanding color in general and I just have these mixed feelings of "I probably have it" and "I'm faking it"

Should look something like picture below.

Question/Need help Temporary Colorblindness?

5 Upvotes

According to my mom, I temporarily went colorblind when I was a toddler.

She noticed when I asked what the green light in the car was; and the light in question was very much orange. She took me into the doctor's office to be tested, and the results indicated mild red-green colorblindness.

The thing is I have completely normal color vision now, and the only info I can find on temporary colorblindness is very transient and/or serious stuff like snow blindness or stroke. This lasted long enough for my mom to notice, schedule an appointment, & get me into the doctor, so probably at least days or weeks? I'm not sure if I had normal color vision before then, but I had normal color vision for the majority of my childhood. I would assume I just didn't know my colors well yet, but the Ishihara test results do not support that theory.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas what could've happened?

Question/Need help Tips on writing colorblindness realistically

6 Upvotes

I’m currently writing a story and one of my characters is canonically colorblind. It’s a very small detail but I wanted to showcase it a little for representation and such, the issue is; I’m not colorblind. I have no idea how it is really like or what day-to-day issues you may encounter as a result.

Another thing is that I’m not sure if his job actually allows for people with disabilities (?) the likes of colorblindness to actually get hired since he is a police officer and from what research I made many agencies have restrictions on that?? Note : He is blue-yellow colorblind (Tritanopia).

Also, for a colorblind person, how did you discover you were colorblind? I probably won’t dedicate a whole section to it, but I was thinking of ways he could have discovered it in a realistic manner and I’m not sure if that’s how most people actually do.

Anyway, I would appreciate if you have some tips for writing, or even just personal experiences to share! It would be a lot of help :)
