wouldn't have said it's a disease. rather a genetic condition

Player #4554332, At art college where I studied graphic art we were taught never to use red and green adjacent to each other as they have the same wavelength and will not show a clear line.

A lot of the men I've gotten to know have real trouble with greens and blues, but not red.
Tall Granny
My parents had a friend who was color blind and wanted to surprise his wife and save her work by painting the green family room in the basement yellow. It was the color she had chosen to lighten up the room. He thought he could tell where he had painted because it would be wet. The wife came home after a hard days work to the surprise. He proudly led her down stairs to the horribly painted green and yellow zebra room.

I'm one of the 0.5% of women with colour blindness, and funnily enough I work as an illustrator and graphic designer. I only learned I had colour blindness in high school and at that point already decided that I didn't wanna do anything else besides art, so here we are!

Colour blind is a misleading term, it should be termed"colour deficiency". I don't bother explaining to people anymore that it doesn't mean I see things in black and white. It means I occasionally think something is a slightly different colour
Minter
Maybe people that are diagnosed as "color blind" actually see the true colors, and everyone else has a deficiency in viewing colors.

Player Elf Counsel, You say greens and reds have the same wavelength. They do not. An electromagnetic wave of a certain wavelength from the part of spectrum we call 'visible' hits the cells in the eye and the eye's neural response is perception of a color. If two colors had "the same wavelength", they would not be two colors but one :-)

My brother in law is color blind and most of the time he can tell what color is what but gets red and green mixed up

ConfusedJackal88876, my friend was the same he gor the red ball and brown mixed up at snooker

The three light cones are blue, green and red. In WWII the green camouflage used by the Germans appeared blue to my father.
Nova
When I’m not looking directly up at a red light, it appears green. Somebody planned that wrong.

I thought it was blue and black as that is what I struggle with
Ooma
ConfusedJackal88876, I feel for him(and you)! My son was color deficient. He had problems with blues, and purple/pink.

I’m red green color blind. I have to ask - is there a number in the circle above?
Larissa
Good to know! 😀

In dim light I can not tell the difference between blue and green. I dressed for work once without turing on a light so I wouldn't wake up my wife. I thought I put on a blue shirt but when I got to work it was green.

Fun fact: Men have a higher chance to be colour blind that women.

I have trouble with black and blue. I inherited that from my father
Player #3386051
Fun guy, nope. Women need to inherit it from both parents, men from just their mother.

Personally, I do have a red-green color blindness, I've failed on multiple Ischihara tests. That's why i can't pursue my dream to become a Pilot.
TJ
ConfusedJackal88876, I'm a carrier of color blindness. I have two sons that have it. One has problems with green and red. The other purple and blues. Mine is that I see some colors different from others. People say my coat is orange. I see it as rust or red orange. Red, blue, green, and purple, people argue with me about. Lol.

Player #32567393, blue/green color blindness is the only condition I've ever heard of, other than only truly seeing in black and white. Of course blue/green isn't even mentioned as one of the types of color blindness. Though I've found many "facts" in this game error filled.
wileycoyote
And how many percent are blind to all the colors? People who can only see in black and white, and what do you call them?
Hotdogpuppykins
ConfusedJackal88876, It is so frustrating for us... I can see green grass and green peas but the green lights on traffic lights appear white! I can give because I know the bottom light on means go! I did a lantern test for my pilot medical and failed it do can only fly VFR... ☹️
