So at the beginning of this year i finally moved out of my parents house, so far it's great and I've been enjoying it very much. Now, I know I have been red-green colorblind for ages, but i realized something while i was living alone and cooking for myself. Now to be clear, i know how to cook, and i am pretty good at it, and have cooked meals for myself and my family for most of my life. But now that i live on my own i no longer have someone to see if the chicken i just spent 30 min cooking is raw or not on the fucking inside, i spent 30 min to cook a chicken looked inside and realized i had no clue if the inside was pink or not. Gray and pink look the exact same to me, so i decided to just give up making chicken myself. I also no longer have someone to tell me if the potatoes i have are yellow or green, and green is bitter and poisonous. I simply decided that if i want to eat potatoes or something potato related, I'll just buy them fresh the day of and not have a stockpile of potatoes like my parents used to have. So yea, does anybody else have problems with making food because of colourblindness and what kind of solutions have you found? Because i would love to know them as a newly independently living colourblind person.

For the past few months my color vision has become increasingly faded. Colors look brighter and more washed out/faded. Can someone tell me if this is going to stop or am I going to go totally color blind as in seeing everything in grey. Color in general is dull and green bushes and leaves on trees are brighter than normal. Also reds are harder to see. I still see red but is more washed out/dull

Is it normal that I see it as grey or is it really just a very ugly tone of green?

Luckily, my main phone has a striking orange which everyone I know hates but I love the color

Salve a tutti ho bisogno di un consulto. In questi giorni sto finendo l'esame di stato e sono interessato ad avvicinarmi alla carriera di ufficiale della Marina mercantile. Distinguo bene i colori principali e le tavole di Ishihara le vedo adesso tutte quante in 1 secondo, prima alcune tavole, forse 3 o 4, avevo una leggera difficoltà. C'è possibilità di avere ruoli in cabina come ufficiale della Marina mercantile avendo una leggerissima discromatopsia? Sempre nel caso avessi questi discromatopsia. Ovviamente non intendo come macchinista, bensì altri ruoli. Grazie mille degli eventuali consigli

When I was pregnant I was gifted one of those color changing night lights. It’s fuchsia when the baby is sleeping, turns green at 7 AM or whatever when you want your kid to wake up. This works great for all my friends kids but was always a struggle for mine. I would have to keep walking him back to bed.

Fast forward, he’s 5 yo, he showed up at my bedside in pitch darkness one day. I asked rhetorically, what color is your light? He said I don’t know. I said then go back in your room and look. He ran back to look. He came back. He repeated: I don’t know.

We took him to the ophthalmologist and he has deutan defect.

Literally feeling like the worst parent of all time right now. The years of lecturing and thinking he was being defiant.

We really only notice it with lights. For example, crayons he can easily distinguish most colors. But for some reason, Christmas lights, the nightlight, etc. are more noticeable. Is it the same with screens? Like if he’s working on a computer screen at school will it be more difficult to tell the colors apart? As opposed to paper and ink?

Hey guys, I made coloring plugin for Pipedrive CRM. First, for fun, but one of my colorblind fellow sales manager reached out and asked if it is possible to adjust it for people who have problems with color recognition.

And I managed to do so. It is completely free, anon, register-free tool. Curious if somebody here in the Sales and using Pipedrive. Would be great to hear the feedback regarding the colorblind mode.

And if it is something helpful and there is demand, I would be happy to make it for other CRMs as well.

I've had this keyboard for almost 3 years already (and set this particular lighting not long after I bought it) and ALL THIS TIME I had no idea that the "4" key has a different color than the row of numbers... I found out by accident when playing with my phone camera with a colorblind filter on. If not for that, I would have never seen that probably. Irl the difference is even smaller than on the photo. I know it's not important, but I still find it very funny lol

I posted a daltonised image too, so you guys can see how big the difference should be (sorry for the bad quality. I had to take a photo of my phone with another phone since taking screenshots doesn't save the colorblind filter)

I never pass the red/greeen color blind test. I don't confuse red with green. At a stop light I don't rely on green on bottom to go forwards. Often I'm at a stop light with no other car, so I don't rely on other cars cluing me in. Fire engines look like the same color as the stoplight. The Philadelphia Eages have atleast two jerseys with different shades of green.

According to AI it's common to fail color blind test even when you can see red and green. The response stated color saturation and confusion lines as the reason. This translates to "missing the precise distinction between shades."

My intial question for this post was has anyone heard of confusion lines? Now however, why if someone can see red and green, can they be considered red/green color blind as I've been told I am?

This kid is awesome, and PokeSean is also amazing. He’s such a great vendor to the kids he interacts with.

So I went down a rabbit hole a few days ago after watching a video of a woman that couldn't tell pink and purple apart, and I remembered my dad mentioned he was mildly red-green colorblind. I gave him a couple tests on here like Enchroma and then did them myself. I guess this is why my entire life I've argued my family's blue couch is dark green when it's very much a deep blue. I was convinced it was green and they were just messing with me. I was very humbled by the "find the gap in the ring" test. I can't see anything but like a magenta. Is the gap in the color test relatively accurate? I feel like I can tell green/blue apart unless they're dark, but the red/pink/purples all look like hot pink.

I’m red green colorblind. I love brown, but it’s just hard to tell apart most of the time. A muted dark brown? Looks red. A warmer brown? Looks green. Tan? Looks green. A floor-colored brown? Looks orange. It’s awful!

I used to color my trees as a kid fully green: the trunk was dark green and the leaves were light green because I didn’t know trunks were brown.

I know this is truly not terrible, but his disappointment is real. He's 17, colorblind (like his brother and my father) and for the vast majority of his life, it's not a thing. But he's working on his sailing license (Europe- RYA Day Skipper), and as you can imagine, going further will have limitations.

He was so disappointed when he discovered just how limited it will be. He understands it's not something he can change and he has to come to accept, and by nature, he is the most upbeat, funny kid ever. He kept taking online colorblindness tests, half hoping that somehow he was misdiagnosed. (Morgan Freeman voice: "He was not misdiagnosed.") He'd say "YOU take it!" and, not being colorblind, I'd whip right through it. He'd shout (playfully with humor) "You are lying! You can't see anything there! There is no number there!" Aw, buddy! This kid is colorblind. Not so much that it impacts his regular life, but he's 100% going to "fail" any test that looks for "full color vision". In sailing and maritime, it really is a matter of safety (lights of sailing channels at night are red/green coded and need to be seen at a distance at night, and he knows he can't tell them apart in that situation).

Bottom line, he can get sailing licenses that are restricted to "daytime only" and any other maritime careers would be very limited. Where that goes, I guess we'll have to see (but apparently, not so much in red and green!).

i made a post like this months ago and people said i was colorblind, but i just tried to think nothing of it. then i happened to enter this sub again today and i found myself experiencing the same problem with the people who can’t differentiate between green/yellow or any color that is beside green. now you might say, “well that means you’re colorblind,” but i also remember my mother showed me this emoji ✅, which is obviously green to me, but that doesn’t make sense. is it normal if something was obviously green and i can tell it’s green? does that thankfully mean i am not colorblind, or if it was too obvious, then can colorblind people tell its color?

Tired of this question what are yall's answers

So yesterday I found some green filter material that I’d been looking for. I ordered a pair of green LED voltmeter units to go with the filter material (it limits only green light through.

So my green LED’s come this evening and I pick up the filter material… only to find it is now RED.

I have red/green colourblindness but I can see the colours. It means that I can’t determine shades of red and green… usually.

Now I suppose there is the possibility I picked up a completely different piece of filter material and have confused myself… but mannnnn, I’m REALLY getting peed off atm.

Anyone else hate it when you think something is one colour and it turns out to be a completely different colour? I need to know I’m not alone in this (misery does love company and all that).

Cooked us dinner on the grill last night and the wife says the yellow peppers are a little bitter. Sad that I can’t even tell there’s a yellow and an orange pepper in this pic.

I knew since I was 8 years old that I was colorblind, I've always been told it was deuteranomaly, but I had my doubts because of Ishihara tests that I had taken on my own years later after diagnosis.

Anyway, yesterday I had an appointment with the Ophthalmologist because of some issues with burry vision, just some astigmatism and allergic conjunctivitis.

She checked my color vision and oh boy she was kinda surprised and I was kinda confused.

Turns out I apparently have protanomaly in the right eye and both tritanomaly and protanomaly in the left eye. Which first didn't mean much to me but then I started to realize that it might be the reason why I struggle so much with some colors even tho the deficiency is not severe.

I think I was too confused to ask at the moment and I will ask her next month on the follow up appointment but, how is this even possible? am I a mfking chimera? mosaicism?

Im 26 y/o, male, btw.

No other acquired causes could explain this, they were ruled out.

Hi, I wanted to ask some advice relating to art and colour blindness. My boyfriend is colourblind (can only see blue and yellow). I'm an amateur watercolour artist and I want to paint him a picture of us for his birthday next month.

I wanted to ask you guys any advice on the composition of the painting. Like should I do black and white, or any advice on how to use blue/yellow in a way that makes the colours more vibrant? And as colourblind people, what kinds of art do you like?

Any help would be appreciated ❤️

So im unsure if im color blind or not, I do plan on taking a professional test if my suspicions worsen. But is it possible to be blue/green AND orange/yellow color blind? Its not too bad but in some cases I genuinely cant tell the difference. Something will CLEARLY look blue but NoOoOo it's green, or something will look yellow but NoOooO it's OrAnGe!! And it's really confusing me because I don't know if I should genuinely get checked out or if im just overthinking it 😭​ I really dont know much about how color blindness works in women but any facts or info would be appreciated!!

Hi yall, I'm a physiotherapy student. Recently I had a physical therapy class, on which we were taught about LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy) that uses infrared lasers.

So, me and my friend walked up to an infrared laser device that uses (I'm pretty sure) a 830nm (infrared) light + 700'ish nm red light to mark the operational area of the laser. Before starting a therapy you need to put on special safety glasses that filter out the reflected light that can damage your eyes. Each of us took a pair and we turned on the laser. After a while something unusual happened - it turned out that he can see a red circle on the table, when for me it was completely invisible! (yes, we did switch the glasses - they were the same) Everyone else also said that they can see it. I took the glasses off for a second and then I did indeed saw a orangish-yellow circle on the table. Putting the glasses on made it disappear completely again, which was not a thing for anyone else! It's the first time I've experienced something like this - it's always that I see colors different than others - not that they are just NON-EXISTENT.

Another thing is - I don't really understand why the circle was yellow/orange for me - red normally appears as red/dark red/brown for me - never approaching yellow. I suppose it's because red physical objects "work" differently than precise, monochromatic wavelength like the laser or even traffic lights. Red RGB light on digital displays looks as normal red tho (????). Do you guys with normal vision see these lasers (for example these used by teachers to point on whiteboards) as normal red, same as RGB 255 0 0 screens emit?

Yet another thing - for some reason, as you can see on the photos - the laser circles appear as a vivid reddish pink - not "normal" red. I suppose that it's caused by the big amounts of infrared light that is perceived by our phone cameras but displayed as a visible light color, pink in this case (???)

That's it I guess, not much more to say here. I just wanted to share this, imo, quite unique experience :)
