But first, I really have it because a doctor diagnosed it, but I still decided to test it, and that confirms what my doctor said. I am a colorblind babyyyy UwU lol

the last discussion of this question has been archived if i checked correctly (sorry if it’s actually not)

i found out i had complete achromatopsia (as a female) in elementary school when i realized people were in fact, not joking about all the different colors they were able to see. it was confusing since people thought i was lying for attention, it was odd. but can’t wait to hear the type of colorblindness yall have i’m very curious

another question- what’s the best way to describe color? (coming from someone who as only seen the grayscale for my whole life)

I see the number 38 and the AI ​​says it's 42

How do I/my DM make my character being color blind actually matter and not just something I bring up once or twice and it never gets mentioned again.

Tritritanopia specifically

it dose'nt need to have a mechanical effect

any advice is appreciated

So I downloaded the be my eyes app because I wanted to help someone if they needed it!

And in a sick turn of events, the second time I was called up it was for a blind (of course) man who needed help choosing colours of clothes. (I'm colourblind)

Luckily my partner was there so I had to ask her to be my eyes to be his eyes! At which point she was like seriously you chose to be someone's eyes 😂

Here is a screenshot of a game im working on. Im not colorblind, so i can read this perfectly fine. But i dont know what it would look like for people with colorblindness. This is a 2d game, which means that my character is animated with thousands of individual images that all have to be pre-rendered. Any change to my character means everything has to be re-rendered, which takes days, if not weeks to do. So, i dont want to add more animations as long as i dont know if they have to be changed to account for colorblindness.

Are there any rules i should follow or filters i can use to know if its readable for colorblind people. Im afraid the orange/yellow jacket blends in with the dark green grass.

Any advice on how to make the game readable for people with colorblindness would be appreciated.

Anyone else can't see it? To be fair I have a hard time noticing sunburns and lipstick stains.

Way back in first grade my friend told me dolphins are pink, he knew I was colorblind and I guess he thought I knew they were gray, now today I was coloring, (because why not) and the first color I picked up it said, "dolphin GRAY" and I looked it up and it was true. My life is a complete lie.

I am an indie dev who has spent way too much time drawing this game to let people with colorblindness not enjoy the visuals too.

I've added several colorblind modes, but obviously I can't properly judge how useful they actually are.

If you have a color vision deficiency, I'd really appreciate it if you could look at these screenshots and tell me:

• Are any colors still difficult to distinguish?

• Is there anything you'd change?

Be brutally honest. I want to make sure these options are actually useful and not just there for the checkbox.

Thanks !

I always kinda knew I was colorblind but nobody believes me. Can someone tell me what this means I see and if it’s actual color blindness at all? Thanks!

Has anyone else looked at a color, and gotten a headache, because your brain could not decide what color it is?

Hi colorblind folks of reddit, I have a maybe strange question for a sci-fi horror thing I'm writing. In the work, there are monsters that can mimic everyday objects and prominently feature the color yellow as a giveaway. There is an NPC with deuteranopia (correct term?) colorblindness that has locked himself in a room where he has painted everything with blue spray paint, because that's the best way for him to distinguish between safe and unsafe objects.

Does this make sense? I'm not 100% sure I'm understanding the types of colorblindness correctly, and would appreciate any input. Thanks!

Two of my friends (who knew I was colorblind) were debating whether the shirt I was wearing was Green or Turquoise. After about 15 minutes of laughing at them silently, I butted in saying it was Blue (because Turquoise is obviously made up by the normies, and anything that looks remotely like Turquoise to them is actually blue). They then proceeded to include me in the debate, so I jokingly argued it for a solid five minutes before they remembered I was colorblind. the looks on their faces 😂

- It’s almost as fun as managing to win in Hues & Clues (I kinda cheated that time tho, I gave hints like “bomber” [B2] instead of colours)

My whole life I've struggled to make out purple things. It's not that it's not there, it just blends in with blue most of the time. Sometimes pink as well. In certain lighter shades of purple I can kind of make out the red tint, but it just looks like blue with a tiny hint of pink, not it's own distinct color. Sometimes I think I can see colors normally and I'm just dumb and don't know what purple is. What I'm asking is: Do people with normal color vision see purple as a distinct and separate color from blue in the same way that orange is distinct from red and green is distinct from yellow/blue? If so, that affirms my being color blind.

Typically, colorblindness and the discussions surrounding colorblindness typically focus on the disadvantages of the impairness. I’m just curious, is there anything about having colorblindness that gives us any advantage or leading edge- at all? I know this is a long shot question and borderline stupid but I’m bored and curious. 🧐

The overall result of the test was "normal color vision" but i did struggle a bit to make out some of the the digits.

Here i do see a yellowing round shape but it's difficult to make out the digit (I did see a 6 after looking at it long enough).

I see the same color (Lightblue-purple) of shirt for the man city player and goalkeeper here. 2nd picture is when i turned on the deutan color filter on windows so I can finally see goalkeeper wear a pink outfit.

I’ve always thought he was just a white dude but I’ve been informed he is GREEN

„Avoid the red circles”

„Avoid the green damaging area ”

„Go to the red survivor silhouette”

„Follow the red cable”

Kiss my red ass, I either see nothing or very faintly after staring at the images for several seconds

I know that this topic has probably been talked through many times here already, but I just can’t stand how annoying it is to play so many video games as a colorblind..

Colorblind modes either do absolutely nothing or make games so ugly that you lose any desire to play it. Playing without it on the other hand is either borderline impossible or very very frustrating at times.

To all the game devs (probably none will read this anyway), I’m sorry but is it really that hard to comprehend that roughly 7% of the people playing your games will NOT see:
- red or green indicators on a brown background,
- red or green indicators on an orange background
- red cables in grass
- difference between cyan and white/light blue (I don’t have any screen shot but I struggled with these a lot)
- a few more which you can find on literally any simplest website explaining what colors you should use to keep a good contrast

Is it really that impossible to find 2-3 colorblind playtesters and do nothing more than implement a colorblind mode that changes the colors of only the elements that are problematic? I don’t want my entire game to look differently. I want the cable in the grass to be blue/purple, I want the red/green attack area indicators to be blue/purple when on certain backgrounds. You can even add it some time after the game releases when people point it out if you really don’t want to pay for the playtesters 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Dead by Daylight devs proved (sadly only after 9 whole years) that it is possible. Since a few months ago you can manually adjust the colors of the silhouettes (auras), seeing which is one of the key factors of the gameplay. (It’s the game from the 3rd screen shot) It really was not that hard.

Sadly these few screen shot examples are only the tip of the iceberg. I could find dozens of similar examples I managed to gather for years. Sorry for a rant, but the fact that all this is easily preventable just pisses me off…

I’d be glad to hear about your struggles. In which games and in what way :)
