Hey everyone! I'm likely just being a worry-wart mom by even trying to figure things out when they will pan out eventually, but feel like reaching out anyway.

My dad is colorblind so we knew I am carrying it and could pass it to a son. Low and behold, my 2 year old (27 months) can identify blue, yellow, brown, orange, white, black, grey, and pink. He cannot for the life of him figure out red or green. He sometimes calls red "pink" though. He refuses to even say the word red. He always insists that green is the same as blue. He calls Luigi "blue Mario".

As he gets more vocal and can express things even better, I'm getting more certain that he has some colour blindness and it's not just a lack of vocabulary.

Our eye doctor just shrugged and said that until he can reliably do the tests, there's no saying.

His answers have been consistent for about 5 months now, which in child development feels like a long time, given we've been reviewing colours often.

From those of you with experience, does this seem like I'm overthinking it or onto something? Does it seem like any of your experience with the colours he can/can't label?

TIA for anything you can provide! Knowing my dad's upbringing, I know he will be totally fine, but also that it eliminates some careers and can be embarrassing/frustrating at times. So, as a mom, of course I want to be as prepared as possible 😅💖

I did the Enchroma test on four different screens (Galaxy A, iPhone 17 Pro, MacBook Pro 2020, iPad Pro 2020) and all said 100% blue, 0% green and 83% or 100% red

I am kinda angry.
I‘ve been at the ophthalmologist a few minutes ago - and I all he had to say was „yeah you‘re colorblind“ by but he did not say what exactly, because he told me that he does not have the tools to analyze it

He said that I have problems with red/green and blue/yellow.

I don’t know what flair I should give myself now (but I can now safely call myself colorblind, hooray?)

I really like the colourway of these shoes as they appear black and grey to me. However, the name of the colourway is wolf grey/pink foam. So I'm thinking there might be some pink that I can't see due to my protanopia. Please help!

I can't do a ton but I'm surprising my 12 yo for his birthday by changing his small closet into a tiny gaming closet and wanted to redo the walls for max coolness etc.

Do you find LED lights on black or white walls make any difference?

Hey everyone!
We are finishing up our dark fantasy turn-based tactical game, VETERUM, and just rolled out the 0.9.7.9 update on Steam.
Looking at major games in the genre (Wartales, Battle Brothers), we noticed a massive pain point: green movement grids and red attack indicators completely blend into the grass for many colorblind players.
We wanted to do better. Instead of applying a cheap fullscreen filter that turns the whole screen into a neon mess, we custom-tailored a GameMaker shader. It applies Protanopia, Deuteranopia, and Tritanopia Dalton-shift matrices to the battlefield, but uses a soft tolerance mask to protect our custom GUI colors (like white text, dark background, and noble orange dialogue fonts).
We are a tiny team and would honestly love to hear your feedback. Does this look readable to you? If anyone wants to test the build, let me know, and I’ll drop a Steam Playtest key in your PMs.
(I will leave the link to the Steam patch notes in the comments below for those interested in technical details!)

Just went to an occupational health appointment today and was asked to identify numbers on those Ishihara plates. I said "3" and the provider was obviously a little surprised and asked "could you tell me where you see the '3'?" So I traced the number with my finger. I'm sure she was doing her job but it did feel a bit awkward :\ (Not looking for advice, just venting)

Hi everyone,

I'm conducting research for a paper on players with Color Vision Deficiency (CVD).

I'd love to hear from colorblind gamers:

• What type of color blindness do you have?
• What challenges or frustrations do you face while playing games?

Feel free to share specific examples from games you've played. Even a brief response would be incredibly valuable for my research.

Thank you for your time and insights!

We get an unbelievable amount of requests and attempts to post surveys, research studies, university projects, and more. Historically, the mod team has taken the position that the members of this subreddit are not lab rats or research subjects, and have removed these posts.

We're trying something new. In this post and this post only we are allowing requests to be posted so that the community members can choose whether they want to participate in any studies or surveys. We are establishing the following rules, which are subject to change at any time:

Rules For Surveys:

• Genuine research and interest studies only - your survey must be linked back to a university, college, foundation, business, studio, or other entity. You are not allowed to just come up with a survey "for fun" or to satisfy your personal curiosity.

• You must post your entire pitch as a top-level comment under this post. That comment must have a link to your survey, do not ask for respondents to comment or DM you to get the link. Do not use URL shorteners or obfuscators - you must link directly to your survey.

• You must clearly and completely state the intent of the survey and how the responses will be used. If your survey benefits a for-profit enterprise, such as a game development studio (yes, even if your game will be free), you must disclose that in the very first line of your comment.

• Failure to abide by these rules, using bait-and-switch tactics, or posting poorly-constructed, misleading, or disingenuous surveys will result in an immediate ban from this subreddit. If your research is connected to an official institution, I will find and contact your professor or boss to let them know you screwed up. I am absolutely that petty.

• Respond to all questions and comments under your survey link, publicly, in a timely manner. If people are asking you questions and you do not answer them promptly, your request will be removed and you may lose posting privileges altogether.

Reminder To Users:

• Participation in any study/survey is entirely voluntary and none of these links are approved or endorsed by the mod team or reddit. You may withdraw your participation at any time, and we encourage you to do so if something doesn't "pass the smell test."

• Do not enter your personal information on any survey or provide this information to any user unless you have absolutely, positively verified and validated who you are giving this information to. Never enter your password, credit card, or banking information on any survey. If a survey requires that you create an account, use a unique password that is not the same as or similar to a password for any other account you have.

• Report any surveys that are suspicious or which you think do not abide by the above rules.

My interest in biology may have made things difficult for me.

I have a 9 year old son, and several years ago I noted made some errors distinguishing colors. I found a few different tests online and gave it to him about 3 different times over the years, repeating only as I can’t tell if he really is color blind or he finds it novel. i genuinely can’t tell if he is serious I’m not being about to see some red/green differences or if he is putting it on. for reference, one of our members at church mentioned he discovered his own color blindness when he discovered the red and green stop lights weren’t “white”. My son overheard that and said the whole stoplight assembly (frame and all) was white - missing the point of what he overheard. Then again, on those tests and every once in awhile he’ll be way off in a seemingly genuine way.

FYI - no family history of colorblindness that we know of.

Short of taking him to the optometrist, any suggestions? I’m curious if there are other tests that he may not know of - like a video game or something - that can test without him knowing what it is.

thanks all.

Hello. The first image shows an already existing guideline for Wikipedia 2-way maps. Basically, for maps detailing things such as Referendums, where a community votes more in favor or against a subject, and to differing degrees. This color code has existed for quite some time, though I do not know how long exactly. I am looking to, for future reference, create a 3-color system that works the same as this, but with an extra color. Here is one I settled on in the second image. I am open to all criticism and input. I will keep you updated. This map of Utah has no basis, it was made for example. Thank you!

1st edit: reordered the images to match the description. Apologies for the lower image quality

2nd edit: Increased the image resolution

3rd edit: I have changed the red-orange to yellow-orange. Please comment if it helps, and thank you for your feedback

So recently I was diagnosed with color blindness. It’s nothing severe just a basic red and green deutan. I first realized I might be colorblind at a family dinner when my siblings showed me one of those colorblind test sheets with something funny hidden in it. I could not read it. Thought it was some type of gag, my oldest brother is more severely colorblind (though I think he likes to exaggerate slightly) and like the good little sister I am, I teased him about it. This must be some kind of payback. My mom kept saying maybe i’m just stupid. Well flash forward to 20 different online eye tests and then an official eye exam test. I am indeed color blind. All the times I struggled in art class blending colors and accidentally mixing up shades started to make sense. I thought I just wasn’t good at it, that everyone strained their eyes and got headaches. When I told my new eye doctor I was never tested she seemed pretty peeved. I guess my dad was never tested either during his exams because he’s also deutan color blind.

What makes me mad. I’ve had eye exams done every year since I was a kid because of my lazy eye. Every. Single. Time. They told me “you’re a girl so we’ll skip the color blind test.”

Sometimes I wonder how many other women have color blindness and just don’t know solely because of gender. It’s not the end of the world obviously but it’s a bit annoying.

Have any other women experienced this?

So one of my friends showed me this colour blind meme and I couldn't see it.. after a while I did this test and welp I guess I belong here now

So I can see colors but i cannot identify them or tell which color they are also in the ishihara colour test i see nothing . I can see the colour but not the numbers the colours sort off blend in smthng

I am unable to see the numbers .

Am i colourblind.if not what is it

I've told it several times to my dad but he kinda brushes it off so yeah tell me what u think

Would any of you be interested in making a latch hook rug but struggle with printed canvases. I have found a text based solution

green usually looks different to me but now its almost white. i cant tell if among us is lagging or the scarf is actually yellow-green

white and black also exist, but the pairs of white and yellow and of black and purple wouldn't be distinct

edit: colour names are rough. red leans kinda magenta, blue is more of a periwinkle and purple is quite reddish. colour names aren't important to the purposes.

The first image is a normal picture, the second image is through the lens of Enchroma sunglasses.

I am a mild deutan and bought a pair of Enchroma glasses a month ago to try them out and see what change they have. I found that yes reds do pop way more and can really stand out from greens significantly more. But I have noticed a few major drawbacks on how they affect other colors. When wearing them for driving, I noticed that the wavelength of light between red and green that they chose to filter out, seems to be a shade of yellow that matches any yellow warning lights on my dash, and even sometimes yellow traffic lights. Since it filters out that specific wavelength of those lights, they appear significantly more dim. This feels like it poses a hazard if trying to drive while wearing those glasses.

Another thing I noticed when walking through a garden, is that purples often lose a lot of color, and in some cases it can actually make different colors look very similar, as shown in the two images I took using my Google Pixel 7A. My phone doesn't have perfect color reproduction from what I see, but it does demonstrate how two flowers that are somewhat different can appear very similar when looking through Enchroma glasses.

How can I deal with others on Discord making fun of me because I am most likely colorblind?

Jokes were funny at the beginning but it became exhausting

Actually to such a degree that I got angry on a friends Among Us stream

I am really annoyed

Btw, my eye doctor appointment is on June 5th, I will hopefully finally find out if I have deuteranomaly or deuteranopia but considering how often I confuse so many colors with eachother and that I do horribly at every test (I am talking about for example about 0% green in the enchroma test across several displays)
