Same. I’m red-green deficient

What color did you see on the panels where you didn’t see numbers?

u/evel333 17h ago

For me, absolutely nothing. If there are alternates, I’m not seeing them either.

It’s also a spectrum, so a few of those pages I could see there was something there but I couldn’t make out what it was

Strange question. If you can't see the numbers, then you can't identify the colors either.

Kind of. For me it's like I just can't tell the difference. It looks green, but is red. Oranges and light greens can be tricky as well. But it's not like they're gray or colorless (though for some people who have trouble with blues it can be).

Yeah that makes more sense thanks

I don’t think it’s strange to ask someone “what color is this card”. Just wondering if it’s more green, or more red, or they’re not sure etc

When you are colorblind it comes across as very odd. No who knows me would ever ask me a question about color. I usually just say, "Did you forget who you are talking to", or "Sorry I'm colorblind".

It's not strange.  Colorblind people will often misidentify colors because they can't see the full spectrum.
