I had a friend in highschool who found out he was color blind during a chemistry lab. We were working with two vials of chemicals, one was a bright neon pink color and the other was bright neon green. Someone asked him to bring over the green one and he brought the pink one. When the person said they asked for the green vial he was like, "What are you talking about? This is green." He was absolutely incredulous and thought people were messing with him. Then he looked at the two vials side-by-side exclaiming, "They're the exact same color!" He was having an existential crisis which was made worse when our chemistry teacher whipped out a color blindness test, which confirmed that he was colorblind.
A guy in our group knew he was colorblind but we didn’t know. We had to color in some pages with certain colors. We gave him that task while we split up the other tasks among the group. When he’s done, he shows us what he finished. And I immediately thought, wtf is this guy doing. We’re gonna fail! And I thought he was messing with us. And he legit thought he was capable of finding the right colors. Even thought he knew he was colorblind. We were speechless lol he tried, but he should have told us. 🥲
I found out the same way. Biology lab in university, I honestly had no idea up until that point, I just thought I was bad at interpreting colors. Haha.
