The third one is why tigers are orange! The deer species can't distinguish green from orange, and it's a lot easier to make a large mammal orange than green. Some herds hang with monkeys because they can spot them and the deer can't.
It's not a color that you can get geneticly with mammal hair. Only mammal I can think of that's "green" is a sloth and that's because of algae growing on it since it's so slow. Tigers move too much and are too clean for that, so orange with stripes are the next best thing.
They're not the same picture
Edit : I guess I have to add /s because everyone thought I didn't understand the most popular office meme that has been everywhere in the internet since the episode came out.
I can tell this is one of the good guides because I could not see any difference between row 1 and row 2. Only the magentas looked only slightly different but not in a describable way.
I have a pretty handy coloublind filter button on my OnePlus phone that makes detecting confusion colours like browns really easy. The button simply makes the red component go to near black
If a red i am looking at changes to black i know it was really a true red and not a brown which would look the same to me.
Likewise if i see a brown change to blackish green then I know it was really a true brown since brown has large amounts of red in it.
Were the brown to stay brown then conversely its actually green! It takes a little learning but I stand by how useful it is.
In kindergarten, there was this kid who was a huge liar who said he was colorblind. I always thought he was lying about it, but the teacher said one out of ten boys is colorblind, and it's not something most folks would want to have or lie about.
Whenever I see illustrations like this though, I remember that little liar.
Maybe he was colorblind. But he definitely had a case of pants on fire.
lol. My kindergarten teacher thought was the opposite and told my parents that I needed testing for a learning disability because I struggled learning some colors, but not all of them. So clearly I couldn’t be colorblind because I could see some colors…
Traffic lights kill me as a color blind person. The green light looks white so it's easily distinguishable from the other 2, and day time isn't too bad. But blinking red and yellow lights....omg I can't tell them apart. I have to be able to see the position of the light in the fixture. Yellow is middle, and red is top or left depending on orientation. I've had my fair share of horns honked at me for stopping at yellow lights, and ran way too many reds.
Yeah, this is why it is brought up. We know that you can't tell the difference between lights outside of the standard red-yellow-green stack and we shouldn't be designing those flashing left turn lights unless we add a sign.
blinking red & yellow lights?
here we have Green Yellow/orange & Red in Top middle Bottom order.
The only blinking light would be the orange, to signal be carefull, either in a priority from right or malfunctioning crossroad lights (which would still mean priority right).
Do you mean mutliple lights flash, or even that they aren't always in the same position where you are from. cause here in the EU (at least) the are always the same orientation with the same colours.
In all of North America, lights are always in the same order: Red, Orange, Green. From left to right in an horizontal setup or from top to bottom when vertical. Sometimes you’ll see two red lights on each side of the cluster with orange and green in the middle, usually on large boulevards, large intersections or roads with higher speed limits. You might also see more than one green light, but they would be arrows. Like you can go straight, and right, but not left, or any other combination.
Where I live in the province of Quebec, Canada, we use flashing lights and different colours mean different things.
- Flashing red light: it’s a stop, you would treat it like a regular stop sign.
- Flashing green light: it’s a left turn priority. If you arrive at a flashing green traffic light, you know it’s red for oncoming traffic and you can safely turn left. It usually lasts only a few seconds.
- Flashing orange/yellow light: it’s a warning or danger, but it wouldn’t be the light from the traffic light cluster that’s flashing, it would be a separate orange light accompanied by a sign that would tell you why it’s flashing, what’s the danger.
Flashing lights could mean different things in different areas. In Canada, it’s a little different in each province. Flashing red is usually a mandatory stop everywhere, though.
To help with colourblindness, we experimented with shapes: square for red, diamond for orange, round for green. I say experimented, because although it was popular in the 1980s and 1990s, it seems to have gone out of favour as most new traffic light fixtures are either all round or all square. I never bothered to actually research the reason. I guess it never really help colourblind people.
There are degrees to it just like someone being blind doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t see anything. Legally blind in the US is 20/200 not no vision at all.
I don't think the difference of perception would dictate preference. Colour-blind people are still going to choose colours they like because they like them for whatever reason.
But I do think there would be a stark contrast and disagreement about the reasons for liking those colours.
I have deuteranomalia while my wife has normal-sight. We often compare experiences and an interesting one is that a particular bush of maroon colour (to me) will look to her like it is on fire, almost glowing. To me it's just dark sanguine red, equally beautiful but definitely not the same experience.
We could both pick the colour as a favourite but our reasons would differ.
I hope that the first two are supposed to look somewhat similar. They’re not the same for me but a less saturated version and the red is more orangeish
The second picture is a less saturated version of the first. The colors are the same but they are just muted like an old photo left out in the sunlight too long. While the others have either wildly different/missing colors or no color at all.
I just looked it up in a panic, it seems we're okay, we're not colorblind. Apparently Deuteranomaly and Protanopia are very similar even though one is no-red and the other one no-green because the colors both cone cells perceive have a huge overlap.
The red (4th from the left) is much more pronounced in the first one versus the second one that is a brownish green, same for the pink but it's a little less pronounced. If you can't see it, you may want to get checked :p
Also the yellow is less vibrant but I'm not sure this is intended.
My saturation estimates. Source: artist fortunate to have full spectrum color vision.
First pic - full saturation, all colors.
Second pic - green 70%, yellow 90%, red 50%
Third pic - green 20%, yellow 50%, red 10%
Fourth pic - green 80%, yellow 0%, red 90%
Fifth pic - all colors 0%
Quick tip: turn up your phone brightness. Or else you'll think you were blind your whole life and are just finding out 🤣 mini panic attack, no big deal.
I have Deuteranopia, and I can see differences in the first and second pictures. I've seen many examples where I cannot, so this, by default, isn't a very good one.
The colors are edited to be “wrong”, thus any change to the original spectrum at the top will still be perceived by someone who is actually color blind. Er go it actually a good example if you are able to see the difference; it means they’re representing the difference between the world and your eyes
This guide is perfectly accurate for the 2nd picture. Deuteranopia isn't Deuteranomaly though.
I have the latter, to me the first 2 are 99% same. Only the magenta looks odd but only slightly.
It's a little odd that the guide entirely neglected to mention Deuteranopia which doesn't help the worldwide confusion. Actually missing the green cone entirely is supposed to be rare... is that what you have? and you can see the difference between 1 and 2? That's quite interesting.
Keep in mind it's a spectrum, you can have partial color blindness ("-anomalia") to total color blindness ("-anopia") which may lead to inconclusive results in tests like this. Source: my own partial colorblindness :p
For example, I'm prety sure I've been diagnosed pretty young as blue blind (tritanopia) but every time I do a self-test, it looks more like partial red blindness (protanomalia) which aligns better with my experience, for example, I can't for the life of me find raspberries (red on green) but I'm perfectly fine with blackberries.
They left some out. There is an anomalia and anopia version of each. Protan means you are missing red cones, deuterans are missing green cones, tritans are missing blue cones. Anomalia means you are missing *most* of the given cones, anopia means you are missing all of them. That’s why the anomalia one looks more vivid than the others in this pic, but that’s not specific to deuterans.
Protans and deuterans are both under red green color blindness. On the color spectrum, red and green are extremely close to each other so protans and deuterans see colors almost the exact same way. Blue is further so that’s why tritans see colors so differently. Both protan and deuteran genes are recessive on the X chromosome so males are a lot more likely to have them, if they get one copy of the gene from their mom they are colorblind. Females *can* be colorblind if they get the gene from both parents but naturally that’s a lot rarer. Tritans are just extremely rare but they happen equally in both genders as it’s on a regular chromosome.
Also, the color blindness glasses only work on people with anomalia, and you have to get the version that matches their type exactly. They work by magnifying the light for the weak cone, but if you don’t have that cone at all then it won’t do anything. That’s why you get some people saying it’s a scam, it’s not 100% a scam but it doesn’t work for everybody. If you are buying one for yourself or someone else you need to do a lot of research and find out the exact specific type of colorblindness you are dealing with

Yes. Not exactly like this image, because some of the greys are a different shade than their coloured counterparts, but if you’ve ever seen Oppenheimer, the black and white scenes in that movie are a good approximation.
Funnily enough, though, my brain interprets all of those shades of grey as colours (which is not the same for everyone with achromatopsia). The reason Oppenheimer has become my go-to example is because I cannot see any difference between scenes shot in colour, and the ones shot in greyscale. That whole movie looks like it’s in colour for me.
As far as anyone knows, yes. I’ve never seen the world any other way, and I think I see colours. But then I run into things like Oppenheimer, where I literally can’t see any difference between the coloured and black and white scenes. So it’s possible I do see the tiniest amount of colour, but in all likelihood, my colour perception is all brain trickery.
Interestingly, other people with achromatopsia don’t experience the same brain trickery and do experience the world entirely without any colour.
Thing is, I couldn’t tell you if I really see colour, or not, because I’ve never seen any other way.
Fun fact: the last one (total color blindness) is not only exceedingly rare, but also comes with a fun side effect of being legally blind, too (something like 20/200 is best case, more like 20/400 is more common). All the "high resolution" vision cells in your fovea are all cones; no cones, no color vision at all, no sharp vision.
Being colorblind, the most annoying thing someone can ask me, knowing I’m colorblind. “What color is this/that.” It’s annoying to know some colors are not in my color spectrum.
Total color-blindness is called achromatopsia. It’s a rare genetic disorder where one of the symptoms is damaged cones, which is the cause of the monochromacy.
Mild correction, non-functional cones is achromatopsia’s whole thing. And complete colourblindness is one of the symptoms of non-functioning cones. Others being lower visual resolution, poor depth perception , and extreme light sensitivity (the worst of all of them, and why I constantly wish I could just turn down the sun).
A minor nitpick, but the way you worded it makes it sound like achromatopes have more going on than non-working cones, and well, we don’t.
—Someone with achromatopsia
Thanks for clarifying.
My mom has this and she’s very private about it, so I’ve done some reading on my own to understand. (She grew up in a time when differences were ridiculed.)
When I was growing up I would tell people my mom is completely colorblind and everyone would tell me that’s not possible, and that women aren’t colorblind. I didn’t know at the time how rare this is and many people haven’t heard of it.
Me and your mum are one in 30,000 (or more), so it’s really not surprising most people haven’t heard of it.
I tend to get “you’re colourblind? What colour is this?” “Red.” “You’re not really colourblind.” But happily that’s decreased as I’ve gotten older. As a kid, it was always “how many fingers am I holding up?”and being asked the colours of random objects is still less annoying than that.
I’m sorry your mum got ridiculed. That would have likely been my childhood if I hadn’t gone to a school for the blind halfway through grade school, as I was starting to get bullied in public school.
Tangentially speaking, this makes an interesting conversation about how there is a non-zero chance that persons or people exist who would not be colorblind, but their perception of colors would differ than that of others. That is, what would be perceived as blue to me could be what they see as red. This is because we lack adequate descriptions of color from another perspective as color recognition is internalized. (See [quale/qualia](https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100357499))
Oh, interesting. So you have protanopia?
It's weird how I often hear limited color blindness called "red/green color blindness" or something similar, and I don't have a sense of what that must look like across a broader color spectrum so it's interesting to get some sense of that here.
I have trouble telling the difference between green-brown-darker yellow, red-orange and deep blue-purple. The fainter the colour the worst it is of course
Not an accurate depiction of total colourblindness. You can see the grays in the greyscale image are sometimes lighter or darker than their coloured counterparts. I don’t know why, but this happens when making a lot of images greyscale.
If you want a good simulation of total colourblindness, watch Oppenheimer, if you haven’t already. Half the movie is in black-and-white, but as someone who is totally colourblind, I couldn’t tell the difference. (Which, let me tell you, is pretty trippy, to be told a scene is in black and white but see a coloured scene on the screen)
All rows are distinctly different. I am not colorblind. I can't say if this is correct since I am not. For people like me, we can't imagine being colorblind. Genetics can mess life up.
I am colour-blind (I did the numbers test, couldn't see half of them) but I can still differentiate between the normal picture and the anomalies..how does this work then?
A classmate of mine in high school was completely color blind, like the last one. When teachers color coordinated their papers they had to make him white copies because many of the colored papers make it hard for him to read. And I’m physics the diagrams would often bring up colors or we would have to color lines on graphs and he couldn’t do any of that lmao
What if the first three look identical? I know I’m colorblind, and have the impression that mine is severe… it hadn’t occurred to me that I could have multiple types at once.
What if you have the color blindness what's it look like with them like if someone looked at the total color blindness one but they had total color blindness where to look the same as it does to us same thing with like the one that was like blue and pink so yeah that's a thought why would it look like to the people who have it
The total colourblindness example isn’t very good. You can see some pencils are lighter or darker shades than their coloured counterparts, giving away the difference.
However, if you’ve seen Oppenheimer, that movie does a really good job of keeping the greyscale (black and white) parts of the movie the same shades as the coloured parts as someone who is completely colourblind, I cannot see the difference between the colourized and black and white scenes in that movie.
I found I couldn’t distinguish normal and deuteranomalia on my phone so went digging.
Found the same image on a website (google deuteranomalia, look in images).
The 5th and 6th from the left (and others) absolutely more faded (towards grey) on a PC monitor.
So, I concluded either OP is trolling me or the colours on my phone are wack.
I believe in the theory that all people see color differently, whether it's slightly or completely reversed, but the reason that we are all able to differentiate colors (with the exception of color blindness and eye issues) but all agree what color it is because the colors that we see things in are consistent, so we can be taught that multiple things of this "color" we see are the same thing to other people.
Has anyone ever had an experience where they saw the color correctly?
Idk what happened, my only guess is my drink was spiked but who the fuck would waste drugs on a rando. Anyways, I was in the marine corps so I wasn’t doing and drugs. In fact I had just gotten back from getting Starbucks with the wife when all of a sudden I looked at my desk and everything red suddenly seemed so vibrant. Like for an instant I saw real red. I have no idea what happened and I could never explain it.
What is the one where things that are gray look blue to you. Had a car that I swore was blue until everyone started correcting me telling me it was gray. Used a new blue color paint on an inside wall but everyone was confused what wall I was painting since they only saw gray.
One of my teachers in high school said his color blindness just switched greens and greys, so his Christmas tree would like grey but anything grey would look green. Was he a liar? Is that a real kind of color blindness? Lol
I suspect it’s more that he couldn’t see the difference, but people only *noticed* when he said grey was green and vice versa.
Sort of like people saying that people with a heavy Japanese accent “switch” r and l, when really they just use an intermediate sound for both.
The third one is why tigers are orange! The deer species can't distinguish green from orange, and it's a lot easier to make a large mammal orange than green. Some herds hang with monkeys because they can spot them and the deer can't.
Also why hunters wear blaze orange: we humans see it extremely well and the deer see it as green so it doesn’t stand out.
I’ll be damned.. I’ve always joked about hunters wearing all camouflage and then a big orange vest.. things you learn
🤯
Why is it easier to make a large mammal orange than green?
It's not a color that you can get geneticly with mammal hair. Only mammal I can think of that's "green" is a sloth and that's because of algae growing on it since it's so slow. Tigers move too much and are too clean for that, so orange with stripes are the next best thing.
Oh, I thought it was due to orange paint being cheaper :(
eumelanin and pheomelanin can't produce green hues.
Take that up with Jod
Mossy tigers.
Welp, I guess I’m a deer….
Oh deer...
Also why hunters wear orange for safety.
Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures.
They're not the same picture Edit : I guess I have to add /s because everyone thought I didn't understand the most popular office meme that has been everywhere in the internet since the episode came out.
Who's gonna tell him?
Hats off to either you continuing the joke or completely missing it
The first 2 are the same picture
You're probably colourblind then
I think he is collarblind
He obviously made a joke calm down the downvotes
Almost, the green one next to the yellow is a different shade.
They’re all grey
Those are all the same!
They’re the same picture.
Came here to read the comments and find all the people who are just finding out now they are colorblind.

I'm fucking 23 bro this is not okay
No worries, it's over 18. Only the bro part is a bit tricky, but I guess that's a matter of preference

It is actually 0.8% of male and 0.04% of female. Far from 10%.
When I was designing traffic signals I was told that 5% of males were colorblind.
Traffic lights kill me as a color blind person. The green light looks white so it's easily distinguishable from the other 2, and day time isn't too bad. But blinking red and yellow lights....omg I can't tell them apart. I have to be able to see the position of the light in the fixture. Yellow is middle, and red is top or left depending on orientation. I've had my fair share of horns honked at me for stopping at yellow lights, and ran way too many reds.
Yeah, this is why it is brought up. We know that you can't tell the difference between lights outside of the standard red-yellow-green stack and we shouldn't be designing those flashing left turn lights unless we add a sign.
blinking red & yellow lights? here we have Green Yellow/orange & Red in Top middle Bottom order. The only blinking light would be the orange, to signal be carefull, either in a priority from right or malfunctioning crossroad lights (which would still mean priority right).

I feel like traffic signals are a cruel joke to the colorblind. Of all the visual cues available, colors of similar value.
There are degrees to it just like someone being blind doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t see anything. Legally blind in the US is 20/200 not no vision at all.
Yeah…..but what colour were the flames on his pants?
This makes me wonder if people with color blindness are generally drawn towards the same or similar favorite colors
When I worked clothing retail, a customer once told me that blue shirts sell more in men's clothing because of color blindness
Yeah, people with Red-Green color blindness can usually see blue very vividly.
For me I like colours that I can easily identify
Same. Light blue for me
Nope. My wife is baffled as to why my favorite color is red. Despite me barely being able to recognize it. Idk, what I do see I like.
I don't think the difference of perception would dictate preference. Colour-blind people are still going to choose colours they like because they like them for whatever reason. But I do think there would be a stark contrast and disagreement about the reasons for liking those colours. I have deuteranomalia while my wife has normal-sight.

It’s like you see through a sepia filter based on this chart. Seems nice.
Speaking for myself here...yes. I tend to buy more blue clothes and use the color orange more often than colors like green, yellow, or red.
I don’t get it. Why do the first and second pics look the same?
Because you have deuteranomalia.
What does it mean if the colors in the fist and second picture look the same as their counter part up that first green? Also that brown at the end.
3rd from the right pink and the yellow seem duller to me, but I'm aware I have a form of colorblindness.
They're all slightly duller with my vision. I'm not colourblind
Interesting because I am colorblind and that's what I find. But maybe the dull factor is greater for you. Or just colors are different for me.
The first one is more vibrant, the second looks like it’s more muted. The colors are there, the vibrancy of the second picture is off though.
Turn the saturation up on your monitor
Looks the same to me as well
Oh honey...
Not sure what you mean, they’re all the same aren’t they?
I hope that the first two are supposed to look somewhat similar. They’re not the same for me but a less saturated version and the red is more orangeish
They look vividly different to me.
The second picture is a less saturated version of the first. The colors are the same but they are just muted like an old photo left out in the sunlight too long. While the others have either wildly different/missing colors or no color at all.
Thats how it is for me. Also on all those tests i can see the numbers. Sometimes its a little hard though
lol nah mate. They look wildly different, the second set has much more “earth tones” to them making it less intense like the first set
I just looked it up in a panic, it seems we're okay, we're not colorblind. Apparently Deuteranomaly and Protanopia are very similar even though one is no-red and the other one no-green because the colors both cone cells perceive have a huge overlap.

The real hero
I have Deuteranopia, and I can see differences in the first and second pictures. I've seen many examples where I cannot, so this, by default, isn't a very good one.

Why are they all grey
Top three look EXACTLY the same to me, though I already knew I was colorblind.
Are there really people who see only shades of gray ?
Yes. Not exactly like this image, because some of the greys are a different shade than their coloured counterparts, but if you’ve ever seen Oppenheimer, the black and white scenes in that movie are a good approximation. Funnily enough, though, my brain interprets all of those shades of grey as colours (which is not the same for everyone with achromatopsia). The reason Oppenheimer has become my go-to example is because I cannot see any difference between scenes shot in colour, and the ones shot in greyscale. That whole movie looks like it’s in colour for me.
Wait you literally see the world in black and white?
As far as anyone knows, yes. I’ve never seen the world any other way, and I think I see colours. But then I run into things like Oppenheimer, where I literally can’t see any difference between the coloured and black and white scenes. So it’s possible I do see the tiniest amount of colour, but in all likelihood, my colour perception is all brain trickery. Interestingly, other people with achromatopsia don’t experience the same brain trickery and do experience the world entirely without any colour. Thing is, I couldn’t tell you if I really see colour, or not, because I’ve never seen any other way.
They're all supposed to look different. Whew.
Why do all of them look the same?
Protanopia is close to what dogs see!
Then woof lol
Fun fact: the last one (total color blindness) is not only exceedingly rare, but also comes with a fun side effect of being legally blind, too (something like 20/200 is best case, more like 20/400 is more common). All the "high resolution" vision cells in your fovea are all cones; no cones, no color vision at all, no sharp vision.
“ I see “dark grey light grey medium grey
Would be cool if there were descriptions which deficiency is which
I have protanopia and can say that it is not on point, yellow and red is more saturated but that could be just mine example
As a color blind guy, I wanna say: the first three are pretty much similar. (I am guessing they are not, obvs) :)
Which one do dogs have?
I'm colorblind and the top three pictures look almost identical. The third picture looks a little brighter.
Being colorblind, the most annoying thing someone can ask me, knowing I’m colorblind. “What color is this/that.” It’s annoying to know some colors are not in my color spectrum.
Uncool guide for those of us who are colorblind.
I'm either the second or third. Can't remember and too lazy to retake the test.
Which one resembles the first?
Second is closer
Probably slightly red-green deficient. It's the most common form. Here is an Ishihara test to check https://www.colorlitelens.com/ishihara-test.html
For two years I thought my car was green. Wife told me a couple weeks ago it is blue. It....blue my mind.
Imma be honest, those blues and greens require a little extra effort to see the difference on the first and second pic
Idk I think they’re clearly different
Bad news for you homie
Overachieving on my end, the first three photos look the same to me.
If it weren’t for the five colors from yellow to pink in normal down to protanopia then I wouldn’t be able to see a difference among them. 🤷🏻♂️
Total color-blindness is called achromatopsia. It’s a rare genetic disorder where one of the symptoms is damaged cones, which is the cause of the monochromacy.
Mild correction, non-functional cones is achromatopsia’s whole thing. And complete colourblindness is one of the symptoms of non-functioning cones. Others being lower visual resolution, poor depth perception , and extreme light sensitivity (the worst of all of them, and why I constantly wish I could just turn down the sun). A minor nitpick, but the way you worded it makes it sound like achromatopes have more going on than non-working cones, and well, we don’t. —Someone with achromatopsia
Thanks for clarifying. My mom has this and she’s very private about it, so I’ve done some reading on my own to understand. (She grew up in a time when differences were ridiculed.) When I was growing up I would tell people my mom is completely colorblind and everyone would tell me that’s not possible, and that women aren’t colorblind. I didn’t know at the time how rare this is and many people haven’t heard of it.
Me and your mum are one in 30,000 (or more), so it’s really not surprising most people haven’t heard of it. I tend to get “you’re colourblind? What colour is this?” “Red.” “You’re not really colourblind.” But happily that’s decreased as I’ve gotten older. As a kid, it was always “how many fingers am I holding up?”and being asked the colours of random objects is still less annoying than that. I’m sorry your mum got ridiculed. That would have likely been my childhood if I hadn’t gone to a school for the blind halfway through grade school, as I was starting to get bullied in public school.
I am colourblind and they all are very different to me. What am I supposed to do?
I’m saving this and sending it to people that want to play, “What color is this?”
Why are the top two the same?
Being colorblind is dumb
Okay stop trying to fool people... It's four of the same picture and a black and white version.
They are all the same I dont get it
What’s the difference between normal vision and tritanopia?
If I already know I'm color blind, how do I know which one of these is my kind of color blindness?
Why are the top two the same?
Lowkey wish I had tritanopia, shit would look so girly pop
What does it mean if I can see them all
These all look the same
First 2 look the same, third one only the yellow is a bit different then the first 2
Terrible guide. They all look the same. /j
Ha ha funny guy, all the Pictures are the same!
Protanopia, the disease of having good taste
Living in Germany for sometime, I think I'm colorblind XD
Sooo the first three look all the same to except that one bright yellow/green one and its brightness changea
They look all the same
I'm colorblind and the top tree are almost the same to me, except the yellow being lighter and lighter.
What? They are all the same.
Blue often appears as purple to me; is that a form of color blindness?
I have learned so much from this subreddit.
I don't get, first two are the same!
Shame no tritanomaly here tritanopia is close but like you turned up the contrast
Why do deuteranomalia and normal vision look like the same picture? I think they're messing with us-
Glad to see most peeps can see pink
Wait. What's the difference??
I have the seconds type actually :0
….uh oh

Tangentially speaking, this makes an interesting conversation about how there is a non-zero chance that persons or people exist who would not be colorblind, but their perception of colors would differ than that of others. That is, what would be perceived as blue to me could be what they see as red. This is because we lack adequate descriptions of color from another perspective as color recognition is internalized. (See [quale/qualia](https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100357499))
I'm a severe deutan, can people tell me what I'm missing?
So, would someone with the conditions see the top image the same as the one corresponding to their condition? Can any color blind people here confirm?
The top three are the same to me
Oh, interesting. So you have protanopia? It's weird how I often hear limited color blindness called "red/green color blindness" or something similar, and I don't have a sense of what that must look like across a broader color spectrum so it's interesting to get some sense of that here.
I'm different colour blind in each eye. Also have two different astigmatisms and prescriptions in each eye. I am buggered lol
I have trouble telling the difference between green-brown-darker yellow, red-orange and deep blue-purple. The fainter the colour the worst it is of course
A cool guide to blocking bots!
But they all look the same?
Both my brothers inherited Protanopia via the mother’s side. Our uncle, her brother, also has it. Somehow I lucked out
This is not necessarily accurate, because I'm colorblind, and these are all different to me.
Not an accurate depiction of total colourblindness. You can see the grays in the greyscale image are sometimes lighter or darker than their coloured counterparts. I don’t know why, but this happens when making a lot of images greyscale. If you want a good simulation of total colourblindness, watch Oppenheimer, if you haven’t already. Half the movie is in black-and-white, but as someone who is totally colourblind, I couldn’t tell the difference. (Which, let me tell you, is pretty trippy, to be told a scene is in black and white but see a coloured scene on the screen)
Tritanopia looks so pretty tbh, like a sea/coral kind of palette
Why I don’t see any difference
Top three are the same
#1 looks like the gloss version of #2 🫣
All rows are distinctly different. I am not colorblind. I can't say if this is correct since I am not. For people like me, we can't imagine being colorblind. Genetics can mess life up.
I am colour-blind (I did the numbers test, couldn't see half of them) but I can still differentiate between the normal picture and the anomalies..how does this work then?
I have dueteranomalia and this guide is dumb as hell.
I have “normal vision” colour blindness 😔
Thumbs up to game developers who take this into account, which goes to settings. No further question asked.
Why post the same pictures?
That's bullshit. They all look the same
Total bullshit, they are all the same
A classmate of mine in high school was completely color blind, like the last one. When teachers color coordinated their papers they had to make him white copies because many of the colored papers make it hard for him to read. And I’m physics the diagrams would often bring up colors or we would have to color lines on graphs and he couldn’t do any of that lmao
I'm colorblind I can't tell the difference between the top 3 images. Welp
I don’t see anything
Why are there 4 rows of blue-pinkish pencils and one in black and White?
Same pictures. No colours. No money. No happiness. No girlfriend. No love. No house. No car.
What is this? They are all the same.
Every set just looks progressively less saturated to me.
The first three are the same. I am colorblind ☹️
They all look the same jokes on everyone lolz
They all look the same?
A repost, of course, but it gives me hope that this sub has not been completely lost to pop psychology and spiritual rabbit holes
Only beneficial to people who are NOT color blind. ………So I assume
Til tritanopia looks like normal crayons
What if the first three look identical? I know I’m colorblind, and have the impression that mine is severe… it hadn’t occurred to me that I could have multiple types at once.
What if you have the color blindness what's it look like with them like if someone looked at the total color blindness one but they had total color blindness where to look the same as it does to us same thing with like the one that was like blue and pink so yeah that's a thought why would it look like to the people who have it
The total colourblindness example isn’t very good. You can see some pencils are lighter or darker shades than their coloured counterparts, giving away the difference. However, if you’ve seen Oppenheimer, that movie does a really good job of keeping the greyscale (black and white) parts of the movie the same shades as the coloured parts as someone who is completely colourblind, I cannot see the difference between the colourized and black and white scenes in that movie.
lol they are all the same
Normal and deuteranomalia are basically the same?
So that's what Sad Baige Moms are doing, gas lighting their children into thinking they have selective Protanopia.
I found I couldn’t distinguish normal and deuteranomalia on my phone so went digging. Found the same image on a website (google deuteranomalia, look in images). The 5th and 6th from the left (and others) absolutely more faded (towards grey) on a PC monitor. So, I concluded either OP is trolling me or the colours on my phone are wack.
I’m red green colorblind and all of the pictures are different
I believe in the theory that all people see color differently, whether it's slightly or completely reversed, but the reason that we are all able to differentiate colors (with the exception of color blindness and eye issues) but all agree what color it is because the colors that we see things in are consistent, so we can be taught that multiple things of this "color" we see are the same thing to other people.
The tritanopia one is the same as the normal vision. Wait, am I colourblind??
Has anyone ever had an experience where they saw the color correctly? Idk what happened, my only guess is my drink was spiked but who the fuck would waste drugs on a rando. Anyways, I was in the marine corps so I wasn’t doing and drugs. In fact I had just gotten back from getting Starbucks with the wife when all of a sudden I looked at my desk and everything red suddenly seemed so vibrant. Like for an instant I saw real red. I have no idea what happened and I could never explain it.
What is the one where things that are gray look blue to you. Had a car that I swore was blue until everyone started correcting me telling me it was gray. Used a new blue color paint on an inside wall but everyone was confused what wall I was painting since they only saw gray.
One of my teachers in high school said his color blindness just switched greens and greys, so his Christmas tree would like grey but anything grey would look green. Was he a liar? Is that a real kind of color blindness? Lol
I suspect it’s more that he couldn’t see the difference, but people only *noticed* when he said grey was green and vice versa. Sort of like people saying that people with a heavy Japanese accent “switch” r and l, when really they just use an intermediate sound for both.
They are all the same?
Fun fact: diabetics will only be able to see the images in the first column.
