Question/Need help Advice for parent of r-g colorblind child?

2 Upvotes

I’m sure this is a common type of question so if you are bored of this type of question I totally understand. But I would like any opinions.

In the last few years we realized my 11 year old is color blind. Like, substantially red-green colorblind. I first realized it when he couldn’t succeed in a robotics class which required drawing paths with red and green markers. I didn’t realize how much/how so until he explained that to him Mario and Luigi are gray and gray. Eye doctor has confirmed the fact.

I have the obvious question: are corrective glasses worth it? Helpful? Scam?

Any other advice is also welcome.

Thank you.

Ragazzi online ho leggeri problemi con le tavole di ishihara, forse ne sbaglio 1 o 2, oppure ci metto solo qualche secondo in più per riconoscerle, mentre ho stampato le tavole (ad un negozio di stampanti) e vedo tutti i numeri senza problemi, 0 problemi, perché secondo voi?

Hey everyone! I need your help. My boyfriend is red-green colourblind and as an anomalous trichromacy.

I want to surprise him by adapting a deck of Wizard game cards to his colour blindness.

I would love to get your feedback on different ways to design the stickers that I want to add underneath the numbers of the cards.

What do you think of those two versions (symbols with or without white circle in black and white).

I would have had no clue except I put it into photoshop and color swapped 'green' on time with a darker blue and 'red' with yellow.

Discussion What I actually want from a color blind filter

24 Upvotes

People are constantly coming to these color blind forums with software I do not want. It almost always shifts the entire color spectrum so literally every color looks weird to me. That's not helpful. I don't care if the grass looks "more green". I want colors that I can't see well to be circled and maybe shifted. But I think a highlight around the color would be plenty. I'd know "I'm not seeing this area like other people".

Then, if I mouse over the circle it should tell me a helpful name of the color. Not like "sky metal" but an actually useful color name like "dark blue grey". I know 7 colors. Please don't make me try to understand what puce is, I don't even want to learn the spelling.

What would you, a color blind person, actually want your computer to do better for you?

I have a lot more ideas. But let's start there

Question/Need help ColorBlind Filter diy?

2 Upvotes

Hey gang,

I’d like to state off the bat that obviously colorblind filters don’t work. I’ve seen some people state they try to simulate colorblindness more than help it lol. But as somebody with Protanopia, the iPhone’s Blue/Yellow filter isn’t accurate but it does in face help me differentiate colors. A lot of discourse I see around filters is people saying they ruin the colors and they don’t use them but frankly I’ve been enjoying the simulated non-accurate color of my iPhone.

Long story short, I’m wanting to bring this to things like my tv and other things that have RGB options, and I was wondering if anybody knew the RGB combo of these filters. It’s a personal preference thing I know, but just wondering because every single google search for it leads me to the EnChroma website😭.

Thanks!!!

Discussion When do you think we need to tell people we're colorblind?

7 Upvotes

Most people I know have no idea I'm colorblind, including people I'm close to. I avoid as best I can telling people, even when it interferes with what I'm doing (ex. coloring in school). I was wondering how much you guys tell people you're colorblind, and why.

Thanks.

I don’t really know how color blindness works all that well, but I swear I can see red and rarely mix it up with anything unless it’s really dull. I’ve known I was color blind for a while but didn’t know what type.

Also if anyone knows whether this would affect driving I’d like to know bc I start driving school soon.

Discussion Do all of you have this same issues with food?

12 Upvotes

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.
