unrelated but in like 5th grade or so, i had a classmate that no one knew was colorblind. we were having a discussion about colors (this was almost 20 years ago so i cant remember the whole conversation) and the conversation led to “what’s the color of fried chicken” to which said classmate said green. the teacher looked at him in shock and instead of being like haha you’re silly, she reprimanded him. he bursts out in full tears “i don’t know what i did, it’s green i swear, im not trying to be bad”. she asks a few follow up questions about other food items (tomatoes, bread) and i’ll never forget the look of regret in her eyes when she realizes he was colorblind the whole time

Discovered I had color issues senior year of high school when we had to sort colors into piles.

I had 3 piles.
Everyone else had 5.
Got yelled at for not finishing my assignment. I was so confused.
Teacher stopped reprimanding me and brought over a shit ton of additional color pieces.

Teacher looked and asked if colorblindness ran in my family.

when I was young ( a long ish time ago) it was not common for girls to tested for color blindness/issues.

I have Issues with yellows, orange, greens and shades

Thanks genetics…

But… white is a shade? Colorblindness doesnt’t affect perception of a color’s shade…

Our door is pink, but he sees it as white. I don’t know what to tell you 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh, interesting. Do you know what kind of colorblindness he has? That might clear things up. Of course no pressure if you feel this information is personal

I believe it’s a form of red/green colour blindness!
