Title: Color Blind
Post by: Casavant on February 27, 2015, 02:37:49 AM
     About 3 weeks ago, I discovered that I am slightly color blind. I had gone through my whole life wondering what most colors are, (mostly red, green, blue, and purple), and how people could tell easily. I discovered it as I was watching the TV show "Brain Games". There was a part when they showed a circle filled with multiple colored circles, that are supposed to make either a letter or number. I couldn't see it...

Here's and example:

I, sadly, cannot see what is in the circle. (I actually want to know lol.)



There are some tests that allow ONLY colorblind people to see. Here's one of them. (You may be able to see it. Idk.)

I can see this:

Random Facts:
- 99% of all colorblind people are not really color blind but color deficient; the term color blindness is misleading.
- “What color is this?” is the most annoying question you can ask me.
- About 8% of all men are suffering from color blindness.
- 99% of all colorblind people are suffering from red-green color blindness. (Which is me in this case.)
- Many colorblind people have problems with matching clothes and buying ripe bananas.
- A Colblindor is a colorblind person who learned to enjoy his colorblind life.  ;D

Haha, wow I was thinking maybe 23. lol
Can you see the second one?

Yes, first one is 57.
I have no idea what the second one is. Even when I try to focus on only one color, I still can't make out any pattern or anything.
For me it is just a field of spread out circles with a lot of different greens, reds, and browns.

Edit: Waaait a minute, when I really focus hard on one point I begin to notice a 0 on the right. And perhaps a 5 on the left? so 50 maybe?

I've known for a majority of my life I was red-green colorblind.  I really fucking hate it considering on what I like to do for fun.

Cannot read the first one and I've sent the bottom one to friends and no one else can tell it says 'NO'.  It's clear as day for me.

Ohhh shit yeah, now that you say it, I finally see the N. I could have sworn it was a 5 before, lol.

I also notice how they did it. The NO contains slightly more yellow-ish red and green colors while the rest is just a random mix of green and red. So people who can tell the difference between green and red will have a hard time noticing the slightly yellow ones.

I've kinda known I was colour blind for a while but actually forgot. Until now! :D I can see the 'No' picture clearly. Tbh it doesn't effect my life even in the slightest and never has, so I am not really bothered if I'm a partial retard ^_^

Also, what colour is this dress? I'm sure you've all seen it by now since it's on every pissing piece of social media:

I quite clearly see the above picture as a gold and white dress while it is actually black and some kind of blue. My brother see's it as black and blue, my mum see's it as gold and white.

I see black and blue, I don't see how anyone can see white on there at all.

I dunno. My mum just did a colourblindness test online and it says she's 100% alright so it's got nothing to do with being colourblind, apparently. Very odd indeed.

Just did the test and I got 1 out of 6 lol.

He wanted to know what the the number was.

Also, I saw black and blue for that dress.

I see white and gold on that picture. But I know the dress is actually black and blue. It is just extremely poorly exposed on that picture making many of us (including myself) confuse the colors.

I had the dress change colors multiple times for me, first saw it as white and gold then it swapped, then it swapped again, and now its back at blue and black.

you guys realise this is a social discussion thread right and an admin and super admin have both just broken rules by trying to spiderman derail it right? lol

but on topic with colour blindness, i know a few people who have it and oddly enough, despite not actually being colour blind myself, in most games i prefer to turn on colour blind mode mainly because the colours used (like in LoL and some other games for example) stand out better for me and allow me to have more awareness on details

also for that dress thing, i see blue and gold and always do when it gets spammed all over the place lol, though i know its actually blue and black since shitty ass camera took it
