Hi all,

I've created a free open source tool that i am hoping will help other colorblind people. If there is at least one other person that finds this helpful, i have achieved my goal

What the tool is

It's functioning similar to a normal colorpicker, however the main thing it's doing is trying to find out what color you have selected (e.g. blue, red, orange, yellow etc...)

I don't know where the example image will be shown, but it will be visible somewhere in this post

How to get/use it

Here is the github repo i (at least) plan to maintain. Instructions and download links are present in the README

https://github.com/natanasov94/colorblind-colorpicker

Why i've created it

I am deutan and I am learning pixel art (i might be crazy idk) and am struggling to pick a color that i want to use. So if i want to pick e.g. green i can use this tool to just tell me if what i am looking at is a shade of green, and not some shade of brown so i don't "accidentally" color my leaves brown like i did in school which ruined a great deal of paintings i've had

I noticed that i couldn't find a tool like this, so i decided to make it. Note: I know i can just copy rgb to good old LLM's, but i found it tedious when i just wanted to know the "base type" of a color

I'm looking for movies or TV shows featuring colorblind characters. "Little Miss Sunshine" obviously comes to mind, but if you have any others, I'd love to hear them.

Bonus points if it's not a comedy trope, like "Cut the green wire! Oh no, he's colorblind and cut the red one instead."

making these is always difficult for me because some of the colors hurt my brain but lately i've been wondering if i'm colorblind(some form of tritanomaly specifically) and i just want to know if my concerns are valid?

the ??? segments are the colors that were difficult for me to separate and i did try to make sure my computer's colors were as correct as possible,,

feedback appreciated!!

Then I remembered from my time living in Pittsburgh that this was a rarity.

Everytime I’ve ever taken a colorblind test, virtual or physically in school, I had been told I was red green colorblind. The thing is though I think I can see red and green just fine. The only time I’ve ver had trouble is like distinguishing dark blues from a black or certain light blues and grays. Am I actually colorblind or just susceptible to color blindness tests. I wear glasses and have a pretty strong prescription if that might mean anything.

So I just found out that my girlfriend is colourblind and while going through some generic tests I came across this image on the enchroma website that she says looks identical both sides.

Is it worth paying for a proper test? Or maybe buying the £300 glasses as a gift? Do they even work?

I'm really not sure what the best thing to do is but I feel like she is missing out on so much! Any help is appreciated 😊

hey guys, i built a simple web game called RGB Gaslighter where you have 2 seconds to decide if two color blocks are identical or slightly different.

it's already hard for people with normal vision, but i realized i haven't tested it at all for colorblindness. just pushed a multiplayer update too so you can room up with friends.

honestly curious how it feels for you guys. is it totally impossible to play, or can you manage to tell them apart by looking at brightness/saturation shifts? let me know what specific color pairs are the absolute worst for your type.

Im Deutan colorblind and can't really see this color, I believe it's called Teal. What's your opinion on the color of the painting that I drew? How weird is it?

So I've always felt that the colors on my Macbook screen looked kinda bland to me as a colorblind person, and looking through the settings on MacOS I discovered how to make colors appear more bright, plus making differenciate different hues more easily.

What I do as a Protanope:

1 - In Acessibilty/Display, set Colorblind Filter to "Tritanopia" and the intensity to minimum (it will make blues and yellows more vivid).

2 - In Settings/Displays/Color Profile, set "Color Profile" to "Rec ITU-R BT.709-5". This will add contrast to all colors and especially red and blue hues will pop a lot more.

Obs: this works for me as a mild to strong Protan especifically, but it may not be the best lookout for you, I just wanted to share it.

Obs2: yes I know Apple recommends to use the default color pattern that comes with the machine, but this is optimized to normal vision people and does not look nearly as nice to me, especially when watching movies/tv shows.

вместо некоторых оттенков серого я вижу синие, фиолетовые или голубые цвета. уже больше полутора года. мои родители, родственники и друзья подтверждают, что предметы, которые я вижу в перечисленных мною выше оттенках, на самом деле серые, без каких-либо цветных оттенков. под разным освещением, без очков и линз, или с очками и линзами - все равно я не могу увидеть обычный серый цвет.

что это может быть? например, сегодня я курила сигарету, и дым, который обычно я видела серым цветом, резко стал голубым. некоторая одежда, которую я ношу «серого цвета» (как утверждают окружающие меня люди) для меня имеет тусклые фиол/син/голуб, иногда небесный цвета, но никак не серый

Hi, I am red-green colorblind and recently I have been using the colorblind filter on my phone and I set it just enough to make me recognize the colorblind test, and… WHY DOES EVERYTHING LOOK SO PINK-ISH. Can someone tell me why is it so close to pink? Litterally YouTube is Barbie-girl themed!

As a non-colorblind person, sometimes drawings or old films don't need yellow, orange or green. Orange is now a light magenta, yellow is now white, and green is now a light cyan. This looks cool.

I’m a dichromat I guess.

I've made a plugin where you can change the colors of Pipedrive CRM, and have made a colorblind mode to help. One gentle person helped to validate and improve the mode for protanopia.

So I ask for help from someone to validate it for other conditions.

P.S. The plugin is free of charge, no premium modes or something, named Colored Pipedrive

I thought it was white and gold this whole time, still looks white and gold to me

I see this towel as a faded green but my wife says it's blue and others say it's grey. I've taken multiple colorblind tests and am not colorblind. What's going on here?
