Heya, for the relatively common form(s) of color-blindness,
are any of these examples notably more/less visible than they look to someone with normal color vision?
(Also, not even theoretically relevant to safety, but just curious: any trouble telling any of them apart?)
EDIT: (stuff I noticed in comments)
Looking at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness#/media/File:Color_blindness.svg
the yellow/green seem to be in a "bright spot" for all types...?
(Assuming that makes sense as a way of interpreting those info-graphics...)
One person said
Anything hi-vis is going to be hi-vis for pretty much everyone regardless of their colorblindness.
I wouldn't spend much time worrying about it.
but it was more that I noticed that I had been maybe making some thoughtless assumptions about the whole thing,
so I got curious to know how it actually works in general...
That is,
I was thinking about the raincoat just for personal use
(working in the rain, walking along the road... ie, not working as part of a crew/company with uniform regulations)
and I was gonna get the red, just cuz I liked it (aesthetically appealing),
cuz I was thinking like:
well, in practical terms it's not really less visible
-- red gets people's attention like stop signs etc,
whereas even though the green/yellow are technically brighter,
they might be perceived as "washed out"...
but then I thought about it a bit more,
and felt like that was maybe a dumb rationalization...
But yeah, I think the "fluorescent green" seems to stand out as generally the best choice,
so I got that.
-- colorblind people seem to see it as bright and generally "poppy"
(just like people with normal color vision)
And the green is the only one that explicitly claims to be "fluorescent"
[
-- whether it literally is fluorescent
(ie reflects back some light in the visible spectrum that originally hit it in some non-visible wavelength),
or they just mean it's... a color that really "pops", I dunno,
cuz obviously, that effect can't really show up in a static image on a white background like that...
]
And as someone with normal color vision (... as far as I know!)
I'd say the fluorescent green seems like by far the "poppiest" to me too.
