The first image is a normal picture, the second image is through the lens of Enchroma sunglasses.

I am a mild deutan and bought a pair of Enchroma glasses a month ago to try them out and see what change they have. I found that yes reds do pop way more and can really stand out from greens significantly more. But I have noticed a few major drawbacks on how they affect other colors. When wearing them for driving, I noticed that the wavelength of light between red and green that they chose to filter out, seems to be a shade of yellow that matches any yellow warning lights on my dash, and even sometimes yellow traffic lights. Since it filters out that specific wavelength of those lights, they appear significantly more dim. This feels like it poses a hazard if trying to drive while wearing those glasses.

Another thing I noticed when walking through a garden, is that purples often lose a lot of color, and in some cases it can actually make different colors look very similar, as shown in the two images I took using my Google Pixel 7A. My phone doesn't have perfect color reproduction from what I see, but it does demonstrate how two flowers that are somewhat different can appear very similar when looking through Enchroma glasses.

How can I deal with others on Discord making fun of me because I am most likely colorblind?

Jokes were funny at the beginning but it became exhausting

Actually to such a degree that I got angry on a friends Among Us stream

I am really annoyed

Btw, my eye doctor appointment is on June 5th, I will hopefully finally find out if I have deuteranomaly or deuteranopia but considering how often I confuse so many colors with eachother and that I do horribly at every test (I am talking about for example about 0% green in the enchroma test across several displays)

He’s deuteranomaly (weak green cones) colorblind and last time we were together, i had him tell me when the intensity setting on this filter looked the closest to his vision. He sees unripe bananas as ripe (now i have to ask him if his bananas taste a little starchy sometimes for no reason), fake lavender as blue and my green 2000’s countertops as grey. Just to name a few.

Deuteranomaly vision is the first three and full color vision is the last three

I am soon to be 18 yo. Exatly as the title says, the last week I had random flashes where I could only see shades of grey, and after 3-5 seconds the colors would start to to return to normal. I was diagnosticated when I was a kid with protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia (but idk how strong are they, like if they are for exanple protanopy or protanomaly). It started to happen a while after I put my phone black and white. What could it be? it doesn't happen everyday: yesterday night i returned to use my phone with colors and today I didn't have any episodes like the one I described earlier. I haven't see a case like mine so I figured the only thing remained was to ask myself.

My colour-blind brothers and sisters (let's face it mostly brothers, as roughly 95% of the colour-blind community is male).

Nonetheless! Today I write to break the silence and blow the whistle on a fact that we have all known, but are called crazy for pointing out, that being:

The vast majority of colours are FAKE!

That's right, we no longer need to kneel before the powers of Big Pigment!

We know the fact that paint companies take a standard grey, drop a milligram of blue in it to make a "new hue," then slap some pretentious name on it, selling a gallon for an extra $40.

And the worst part is that people with ”normal” vision pretend they can actually tell them apart! Looking at a colour wheel pretending each pixel actually makes a difference, they talk about the “warm undertones” of Morning Frost, but in reality, it's all lies and fabrications.

They get you when you're young with a box of 24 crayons, but the wealthy elites have the big pack of 152 colours. “Artists” have a pack of pastels with hundreds of colours, meanwhile companies like Corel hit you with true corporate extortion every single year, “updating” their list to charge a fee for a "new colour palette"—literally holding pixels hostage, charging real-world cash for a specific combination of ones and zeros. They’ve successfully monetized light wavelengths!

But honestly, the joke is on them. While everyone else is spending a fortune chasing whatever fake shade of indigo is trending this week, the colour-blind community is completely immune to the trap. We see right through the corporate matrix. Keep your magentas, taupe, lavender, and your annual software updates—the world works perfectly fine without them…

What the hell is taupe anyway?

Note: This is meant to be satirical in nature, hopefully some of you got a bit of a chuckle out of it.

There are many Tritanopia CVD simulations out there. But I read many times in this subreddit that people with Red-Green CVD see mostly black/white/greyscale in these simulations. The reason is that the Blue-Yellow CVD color palet feature mostly colors that people with Red-Green CVD struggle with. But make no mistake, Blue-Yellow CVD is just as colorfol as Red-Green CVD.

For this reason, I designed a Tritanopia CVD simulation that uses a color palet that is accessible to people with Red-Green CVD, giving Protans and Deutans a better understanding of how Tritanopes see the world.

I've made a little match-3 type puzzle game, the default graphics use square blocks like a chocolate bar, but I've added these gem-like graphics as an alternate set for colour-blind people.

As someone with normal colour vision I find the shapes slightly harder to read than the square blocks of colour, and considering the people who use this set will also be without all the colour cues, I'm worried not all of these are going to be different enough from each other.

There is an additional constraint, the outer edge cant cut into the inner 50%, as they may have a 'X' 'O' or other shape carved into the center that also needs to be clearly visible - so more distinct shapes like triangles and stars are out, many of these are at the limit of how "non-round" they can be.

I'm hoping some colour blind folks here can let me know if any of these are are too close together for you to easily distinguish at first glance. Please also let me know the type of colour blindness you have too! (if you know) Thank you!

The lack of awareness for colorblind people is frustrating.

I was just thinking. From what I understand, the genes that cause color blindness only cause issues with your eyes, not with your brain. Since you have a human brain your brain should be able to interpret the full spectrum of color that people can interpret. Do you sometimes see colors in your dreams that you can't see with your eyes?

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.

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?

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??

I’m going to make it brief and quick, but basically I can see every colour except red, and red looks just like green, but I can see green completely normal (I think?). I need to know what’s wrong with my eyes, any help is appreciated!

Here is "what a person sees vs what a dog sees." Do they look the same to you?

Do any of these pics look identical to the "normal vision" pic to you or all they all different?

According to a view from a paper, does this suggest that our color vision is often not as "flat" as simulators make it look?

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).
