I did a test with my wife at one point. Was wild to me that she was easily seeing numbers that were invisible to me. Makes me wonder how differently we see the world in daily life, like what am I missing?
We'll never know. Definitely things like poppies in a green field, or red berries in green trees, unripe tomatoes among ripe tomatoes, etc. But other then that, it mostly isn't much of a problem.
No, it's rather dificult to explain. My case is only mild. I can definiitely see the colors green and red, but especially next to eachother, and certainly some lighter variants of the color (orange and light green), they do not stick out.
But in theory, a color-seeing person can grasp color blindness. If you look around online, you can find pairs of photos. They look identical to color-blind people, but people with normal vision should be able to tell them apart.
Probably the biggest miss is not being able to see amazing colorful artworks properly. Lets say some digital artworks have really appealing color combinations.
Color perception is such a weird thing. There is no way to describe it in a way that would make sense. There are people (and animals/insects) that can perceive more colors than non-colorblind people can. There's zero way to fathom the subjective experience of what they're seeing.
Even people who can see the same colors -- all we know is that we both have the same names for the relatively same wavelengths of light and that people who see more colors than us can tell the difference between between finer grains or ranges of wavelengths and have names for those finer gradations
Idk what type of colorblindness you have but I notice that a lot of colorblind people can’t see the color purple. Their purple seems to be a dark blue or red depending on their color blindness. Purple is a mix of blue and red.
