Just because this came as a revelation to some color blind people before: Peanut butter is NOT green. It is brown, which is different.

Neat and all, but it might be more effective if there were more blue/violet in the blue effected ones.

And there's Gifiness, where you can only see 256 colours.

I know I'm colorblind but I never knew how. Couldn't see green weak, corrupted file, got my hopes up, still can't see fixed one. Knowledge!

It is most common and mildest form of color-blindness in men, btw. Often goes pretty unnoticed.

Are you trying to say color blind people make terrible gardeners?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Wait, some people actually see everything in black and white?

Couldn't tell the difference between 2 for green-weak, then i remembered thats my colorblindness

One of those must be broken. The color isn’t changing...

See, I actually AM deuteranopic, and I literally can't tell any difference between the two gifs in that one.

I don't know, Ryan. Why is the sky grey? Why is the grass grey? Why is a rainbow grey, grey, grey, grey, grey and infra-grey?

A few of my illustration lecturers were colorblind. One had the most fantastic color palette when doing acrylics and oils as a result.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Ooh, can you do a reverse one with the colours enhanced so those of us with colour bindness can see like normal people?

Deuteranomaly is the most common of these, accounting for well over half of colour blindness.

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Father in law has tritanopia and I fall into Protanopia but am also green weak.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Is the Deuteranomaly one actually the same throughout or is this some elaborate joke?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It does change... Perhaps consult opthalmologist or eye doc? Judging by gif, effect is subtler though, so perhaps it was missed as a kid?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Definitely changes

I had to show my wife, she said the faces of the people turned green... welp I guess I'm colour blind

Take more legit tests. There's one that involves rearranging colors which seems to give the most detailed results. Monitors vary results too

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The images are definitely different. Unless your monitor is seriously fucked, you're probably color-blind. Might need further research.

Calm down. If you only noticed this now, I'm thinking that you can live with it. Still, might want to talk to an optometrist.

Ok Thank you I'll be going right now

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Okay. Like I said, you've lived with this for, presumably, a decade or two at least, so it isn't an emergency.

Why does red weak take away the reds but green weak just makes the people look green and the leaves look normal?

10 years ago | Likes 51 Dislikes 1

Because it refers to the types of cones in the eye that are affected in that type of color blindness. It does not mean you see green weak1/2

10 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

it means your green sensitive cones have malfunction. Since color is then interpreted in brain, it can just result in interpreting face 2/3

10 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

to have same hue (green) as the leaves. No one knows for sure though, if they see it as green, the image just is tested and produced so 3/4

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

that the color blind people see it as normal. So how close it is the world as they see it? Not necessarily close. It is likelier that it 4/5

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

just uses green in different places as they see same hue there. Who knows what hue that is in reality. 5/5

Damn..... That's some deep shit.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Yup, there's studies that show people demonstrate racial bias over the phone.

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Of course. Skin color isn't the only way to discern race and "color blind" people tend to at least be able to see darker vs lighter color.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yes. Where's my prize.

10 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 0

Absolutely. That's also not a philosophical question.

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Weird so what do you guys call the colors fade in and out? Specifically red green.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

What do you mean with that? I'm curious just for curiosity, since color-blindess is fascinating.

Sounds like Optic Neuritis. Do you have an autoimmune disease?

is your red the same as my red?

10 years ago | Likes 171 Dislikes 3

No. Even without colour blindness, we all see roughly the same colours but with some differences.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

He's asking if the way we perceive colors are the same. Maybe the way you perceive red is different than what I do. Maybe my red >

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Is your green. We would never know because our perceptions of color can't really be described in a way for another to understand

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Because of colors mixing, I think it would have to be our red/yellow/blue that could maybe be interchanged

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

what if we all have the SAME favorite colour.. but we each call it differently?

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

I think about this a lot

I've tried to explain this hypothesis of seeing different colors but learning them as one, to other people. So far over their heads.

As a color-blind person, there was one gif that was really confusing for me. All the others were obvious. Guess I'm green-weak.

I wonder if you're a chimera, or if you just have partially expressed genes.

I wouldn't know if it's genetic if it was my father side. *sobs*

Those things aren't genetic, it's errors in the womb! Basically the first one you absorbed your twin before they actually developed.

Does being a twin have anything to do with this one? Me and my twin both have the green-weak apparently!

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It is inherited in X-chromosome, that is the reason males are more prone to it. Females have two copies that can compensate or even add 1/2

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

up to almost super color vision. Males have only one and even slightest mistakes in color vision affecting genes cause some level of 2/3
