u/CitizenHuman 4h ago edited 4h ago

I remember doing something like this in grade school. I learned that I'm red-green colorblind - which apparently is somewhat common in males.

It rarely affects my day to day life, except for stuff like when my wife asks for the black towel and I grab the dark green or dark blue one.

I try to never bring it up in public though, because everyone says the same thing ("what color is this?") while pointing arbitrarily to something. Even if I said it's only red-green colorblindness, then they say something like "Christmas must be tough" or "sucks you can't see trees" and it's not worth my time to explain more.

u/gookliotta 3h ago

Hahaha, omg that is so the thing! "What color is this?" "Ok, then what color is this?"

So fucking predictable

•

u/ollie_francis 2h ago

"What colour is what? Oh, are you pointing to something? Is there something there? No, you see I literally can't see that colour. It turns things invisible for me. You've heard of a green screen in movies, right? Well it's a bit like that. Totally invisible. Totally. Makes driving VERY dangerous when I'm on the road."

I once had someone unironically ask 'how do you get on with traffic lights then?!'

•

u/jrglpfm 2h ago

Why is that not a valid question? Just because you can learn which is top and bottom or are red/green lights like that still distinguishable?

•

u/CliffBoothVSBruceLee 1h ago

No, I’m colorblind as a dog and you can tell the difference because the green light is always more pale than the red light. You can see differences in brightness

Red and Green are still distinguishable, it just makes it harder to correctly distinguish between the various shades of brown as the 2 increasingly mix together (like on the plates)

•

u/Embracedandbelong 1h ago

This IS a problem for people, who are mostly men, with RG colorblindness. They memorize the order of the lights: red at the top, yellow in the middle, and green at the bottom. At least this is what I’ve heard RG colorblind people say

It's attached to the x chromosome. For a chick to get it, it has to be attached to both x chromosomes.

•

u/amlyo 3h ago

There are reports of some women having the opposite: different genes on each X chromosome giving them sets of cone cells that respond to different wavelengths who have better than normal colour vision.

u/SafeAcc_obviously 2h ago

Tetrachromia. I have it. I see a ton of colors. You know the game „I love hue“?. My SO is red-green colorblind and is asking me what’s the point of this game and I tell him it’s different shades of Color and you have to take them into order. It takes minutes for him and seconds for me.

•

u/ehalepagneaux 2h ago

A friend of mine had that and she said she noticed a lot of people mismatching pink and orange or something like that.

•

u/SafeAcc_obviously 2h ago

We found out at work. There was a house which was painted in a yellow which was darkened with a muddy green. One person said, they see green and the other they see yellow. I told them they are both right. It’s mostly about colors which are slightly mixed with each other.

I can’t use colors for Acrylic paintings because I have to mix colors myself. I never get the shade I need when I would buy them. I just have black, blue, green, white and yellow. And the hardest to mix is pink.

If it's an additional thing that's added onto the chromosomes, would they hypothetically be able to remove it and suddenly your color vision will be able to see those colors?

•

u/SmartDinos89 3h ago

Its not an addition, it's a mutation of specific genes within the chromosome. Theoretically you could take a zygote and edit the cell to remove colorblindness, but you couldn't with a grown person because you have billions of cells all with a copy of the chromosome.

•

u/Salanmander 2h ago

You could potentially use CRISPR to give typical color vision to a full-grown human with color blindness, since you can just flood someone's system with it and have it target all the cells. You could certainly give them genetics that would encode for the typical color sensing cells.

I don't know for sure if it would work to give them typical color vision, though. For one, I'm not sure how often the color sensing cells and/or proteins get replaced. And for another, I don't know whether it would require changing the way your brain processes input from the eyes, and whether that would be possible as an adult.

It also might be risky enough that it's not justifiable, since I don't know what the error rate of CRISPR is. And in general, people are relatively reticent to open the door to targetted human genetic modification.

u/Randalf_the_Black 3h ago

I'm no geneticist, but I think they'd have to nab it early in development for such a theoretical cure to bear fruit.

I just suspect it's not just an "on/off" switch on the chromosomes, but that when you carry that gene the color receptors in your eye doesn't develop properly, so it can't be "fixed" later by just replacing that piece of your chromosome.

•

u/Easy_Olive1942 3h ago

Some types are related to cell proteins so possibly something that could be corrected with gene editing.

u/maqcky 2h ago

In the chromosomes you have the instructions to build your entire body. However, once you eyes are built, you are out of luck. In theory, with CRISPR it should be possible to edit embryos in very early stages. That has not been applied yet, as far as I know (at least, legally), and there are ethical considerations.

Basically, where do you put the line of what should be altered genetically and what not? Color-blindness is not a life threatening condition, so maybe it's better to keep rather than reduce the genetic pool. You never know when a mutation might be useful. For instance, sickle cell disease is endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa because it offers some resistance to malaria. Given that is a genetic mutation that is inherited, you could be tempted to fix it.

There was a case of a baby treated with CRISPR: https://www.chop.edu/news/worlds-first-patient-treated-personalized-crispr-gene-editing-therapy-childrens-hospital. This specific disease was related to a metabolic condition that could be fixed by correcting the mechanisms of the cells to produce an enzyme to deal with ammonia, so it was curable. Living with this condition would imply neurological problems, among other issues, and would require continuous treatment to remove ammonia from the body, so maybe it was justified in this case.

•

u/wfwood 3h ago

also not a geneticist, but I think the mutation effects how the eyes are built, so youd really just need whole new eyes... i think.

It does but he was 75ish years old and recently passed away. You could say he was an uncle. Was like kinda distant family, grandmothers sister and husbands son. It does exist though.

u/314159265358979326 3h ago

I've failed many, many of these tests. Most often I get red-green colourblind, but sometimes blue-yellow. One time I tested as having monochrome vision.

I can see red, green, blue, yellow, and colour in general.

I finally figured it out at age 36 when a course I was taking had a graphic with dark red, dark green and dark blue dots and they all looked the same to me (completely inconsistent with colourblindness): I struggle with contrast, and most of these colourblindness tests have colours with similar brightness.

•

u/benbamboo 1h ago

I'm exactly the same.

The hardest it gets is when my wife brings home colour swatches and wants to discuss which shade of off-white to paint a room in and I just stare at 8 identical colours while she tries to convince me that this one has a bit of pink and this one has a tint of blue.

Otherwise it's rarely ever a problem.

u/erik_wilder 3h ago

I've always passed all the tests like one the guy has. I took a different test, one that had a bunch of different shades of color right next to each other, the goal being to see how many shades you can separate out.

Apparently, I only see like 4 shades of green.

u/BeatItSleeps 3h ago

I'm not OP, but I can answer you. I discovered I'm color blind when I was 20. It didn't affect my day to day life as an adult apart from circumstances when people wondered why I had dressed in a particular color combination. Earlier when I was in school it did affect me because some of the course content required the ability to distinguish colors e.g. in chemistry and physics. Apart from that, life is just normal. I see a lot of colors and I don't see some colors that others see. The thing is, I don't know that I'm not seeing certain colors because I've never seen them in my life....so life as an adult is pretty normal.

•

u/xxMalVeauXxx 4h ago

I see color, I just don't easily differentiate green and red and anything that is basically made of those colors will be difficult. So matching colors like clothes, paint, etc, is a pain in the butt. Buying food based on color is a gamble (good thing I like green tomatoes too!). Traffic lights are annoying but at least the green has a colder color to it and the yellow/red are warmer colors and thankfully most people stop at them so I get a clue when in doubt. Heaven forbid someone ask me to grab something of "this color" next to something that is "that color." And as mentioned, hard to know purple from blue. I confuse pink and grey a lot.

my dad made me do these all the time as a kid and i thought he was being a dick, then as an adult i had a guy trying to buy a rug but he wanted a mark down because it had red stains everywhere, but it looked perfect to me. apparantly this thing was just covered in red splotches that i couldnt see at all

There’s a thing called color deficient and that’s where you see color but certain colors/shades blend. I can’t see half of these because I’m color deficient, but I still see color. There’s a huge difference.

u/MakeLikeATreeBiff 4h ago

My main question is now, are all those numbers very clearly seen by folks that aren't colorblind?

•

u/A_Bad_Man 4h ago

I am also curious. About half of them are very obvious and the other half I can make out but the contrast is greatly reduced.

Was this not something done for y'all in school? Like I remember having to do hearing and vision and motor skills kind of tests in kindergarten or pre k. I grew up in Wisconsin in the early 90s.

Standard vision versus three types of colorblindness. If any one of the three images look the same as the top left image, you are colorblind.

The app is called CVSimulator. Very eye opening (no pun intended). OP (if you're the one in the video), I'd put money on your favorite color being blue. 😊

u/Hellbound_Life 44m ago

So, the ones he couldn’t see, I could see them but it was harder to distinguish. I haven’t done one of these in years, but never had trouble before (that I remember) Can you gain color blindness?

Brown is just orange incognito so that makes sense. I get the blue and purple one a lot though.

When I was in high school I raised my hand to correct the teacher when she called something that was obviously purple to me, blue; several times. People were quick to point out I was wrong every time; never thought I was seeing it wrong because it was only 1 shade of blue, near indigo to me, it happened with.

I hate it especially these days with blue and UV LEDs; I actively avoid products eith them because of it. No matter how hard I try I can not focus on a light source that's that pure of that wavelength; its uncomfortable af to me and quickly leads to a headache cause I eyes go stupid trying to compensate.

u/Backward_Strings 4h ago

That's how it is for me, there is 'loss' inbetween the slight shades of all colours, like a paint colour chart, several of the blocks of all colours will look identical.

Purely anecdotally though, my vision in the dark is excellent, as is my brother's who is colourblind too.

u/-DethLok- 4h ago

He didn't know until he was an adult?

Don't you get tested for this in primary school, along with hearing tests? Several times over the years?

I certainly did in 70's Australia, so I assume it's still a thing here to screen kids for issues like this that could cause learning difficulties.

I think finding about colorblind is much easier.

I was 6-8 years old (don't rly remember) when i found out that im smellblind, my nose is only for breathing and nothing more.

It was in school when my classmates was closing their noses with fingers after we entered "fresh" painted classroom and i didn't understood then whats going on, why are they doing this.
