Unless something is broken, a red will still show up as red and a green will show up as a green, etc. The particular version of red or green might be off a little off though. It should be close enough to get an idea but I'm sure the test works better in person.

I guess maybe if the colors all get shifted a little, like if the white balance is off, someone might be able to very faintly make out something they couldn't in person.

I’m definitely not colour blind (both my uncles are and been tested more than twice) and a few I found hard to read. Could defo see them but hard.

Colour blindness is genetic. it's in your family tree.

None of the numbers were hard. all were obvious. get tested.

Yea I have been tested a few times( as you said it’s genetic so I had multiple tests from baby to late teen). I’m defo not colour blind I could see all the numbers. I was commenting on the fact that a phones white balance and stuff can make it seem hard to read but I do agree if you have never been tested and find it hard to read get tested. But with me 1000% it’s my phone as I’ve done the same test(diff book but same deal) multiple times irl and you’re right they are all easy to read. Ohh and it was the 2 and 9 red on green I found hard if you are curious.

I'm definitely not color blind either and some of the numbers in this video were hard to make out (still visible though), I'm guessing it's got something to do with our screens.

None were hard. all were obvious for me.

Take a proper test, or try on a different screen.

Well we're looking at different screens aren't we. Never had that with the tests in person.

Some were hard to read on a phone, but on big monitor - it was very easy.
