Colour blindness

[Nibbo]

Who here's colour blind?
I am. We were discussing how we could tell if our young bloke was colour blind and checked google for the usual dot tests and the missus started laughing when this one come up.

I put it on facebook so someone else could tell me what it said.
Who just looked at it then and discovered they might be colour blind.

I'm guessing your talking Red/Green Colour Blind.

Not full black and white.

 

[Nibbo]

Yeah, im not black and white. I can see colours. Just obviously not all of them.

Red Green colour blindness is a misnomer - I'm RG CB but I can perfectly well see red, and green in many different shades, it's just that where they meet up in the range of khaki, olive etc, it's hard to pick them. No problem, one of my hobbies is painting.

In the attached chart I can't see a pattern such as a letter or number standing out, but it's pretty well obvious what the colours of the individual dots are.

One thing that does strike me though is that Bunnings isn't the big green shed, it's more like the big greenish shed that's more airforce blue.

Im RG CB and cant read that at all. I asked my 16 year old daughter what it said... She had a laugh. But as Bribie said I too can see red and green in all its various shades.

There's a spelling error. 'Colour' has a u in it.

Bribie, you'll never work in a casino

I found out I was red/green hue deficient (not colour blind) when I tried to join the army. Further research told me we RGs have one third of the range. A normal colour vision person can pick something like 10000 shades and RG can only pick up 3000ish. No big deal.

It also explains why when I got my first job in hospitality I bought dark green pants when I should have bought black. It's the boundaries that blur. Lime / light green. Brown / olive etc.

I bought dark green pants

Very stylish.

The missus is a very rare blue/green coloublind. And being female makes it rarer still.

Hi Bribie, I've edited the image and taken most of the colour out, and made the red/orange darker, and the green/yellow lighter. these colours are quite distinct and unrelated to the lightness/darkness of the individual dots.

I hope this clears things up.

I'm completely colour blind, in a colour blind test I can only see the first slide, and everyone can see the first slide, colour blind or not.

After school i signed up to get a trade, in my case an electrician.

We had a day of aptitude testing and at the end were given a colour blindness test which consisted of 5 slides each displaying a number

The first 4 were easy spotted but i couldnt get the last one. Naturally panic set in as this looked as though i had failed and couldnt get in

The instructor passed me and said if you were CB that you would see a number on the 5 slide!
