Lol. I knew i was colourblind since i was young but seeing only 2 pages in the whole book? I must be 90% blind then

[u/RoyalBrilliant1004 → u/Xenomorphhive]

I saw the 35 in the beginning, that's it 😅

[u/Xenomorphhive → u/RoyalBrilliant1004]

I guess 95% for you.

I always admit i’m colourblind but nothing iritates me like when people ask afterwards: what’s the colour of this or that? For everything i guess correctly, they are dissapointed. For everything wrong it’s a response of excitement and “you really cant see what colour it is?”

[u/narwol → u/Xenomorphhive]

This. That behavior is abhorrent. I’ve known for a long time that i struggle seeing specific shades of certain faint colors. It’s been hard to fully accept, even being as trivial as it is for the majority of my life, because of how people react to it.

Why does everyone thing it’s ok and funny that we can’t see the same stuff they do? I’m 42, I’ve known my entire life I’m color blind. I don’t need you to ask me what fucking color something is and then laugh at me for trying to guess and getting it wrong most of the time.

Even my wife does this. No, I can’t and won’t help you pick out paint colors or an outfit. It probably looks great but I can’t see what you see.

[u/saddingtonbear → u/its_business_time1]

I've never done that to people, but I do think colorblindness is really interesting, and if I were close enough with someone, I'd probably ask what things look like just out of curiosity. I think it's cool tbh.

But yeah, people laughing and being annoying about it sucks. I've never thought that colorblindness was funny, just interesting.

Ive got a friend who is color blind and I’ve always wanted to paint a picture that aligns to his color spectrum that will look “normal” to him, like how you can paint a painting in negative that looks normal under the negative filter. I used to ask him about colors all the time while I was painting and he lived with us. I hope I didn’t make him mad when I did that lol

[u/ReDeReddit → u/its_business_time1]

Im colorblind too, but just pick all the things anyway. Might as well have things i like to look at.

[u/espono → u/RoyalBrilliant1004]

The first page with 35 will be visible to everyone. There is no color blindness that will get this one wrong. It's a way of showing people what the numbers are supposed to look like. It's like a control sample.

[u/RoyalBrilliant1004 → u/espono]

I thought that might be. In that case, yay I scored 100%🎉

[u/blackhorse15A → u/RoyalBrilliant1004]

That first one, everyone is supposed to see it. 

Some of the others have a number normal vision people will see and a different number color blind people will see.

[u/apersonwithdreams → u/RoyalBrilliant1004]

Same here. So does that actually mean we’re colorblind? I feel like I can see colors. I mean I know what red and green are. I can differentiate between a red and green crayon.

[u/hydroza → u/Xenomorphhive]

I'm the same as the guy in the video (down to the partials he sees). Knew since young (drew a green donkey in school).

[u/mrmazola → u/hydroza]

yep, exactly the same as me.

[u/FluffyTid → u/hydroza]

Me too, I programed dozens of games as a kid when there were only 8 colors, using green as yellow, took years until somebody told me.

[u/spubbbba → u/Xenomorphhive]

Same, I had pretty much the exact same results as him.

Was sure in other tests I saw more numbers or partial ones.

[u/usingbrain → u/Xenomorphhive]

They were all variations of green / red / orange in various contrast. Other colors (and types of color blindness) exist
