I know I am. I see some tones of blue and green as the same color.

Here, take the test: http://www.toledo-bend.com/colorblind/Ishihara.html

I got 'em all right. Yay I'm not color blind!

What everyday things do you have trouble seeing Izzy? How bout traffic lights, neon lights, etc?

I think I'm red-blue colourblind, but it only provides red-green colourblindness test.

I must be otherblind. The one where you're supposed to see a 2 or a 5? I see an 8 :(

Yes I am. I always describe it (if I get the chance and the person I'm talking to isn't a total idiot) by pointing out that the bottom light of the stoplight is blue to me instead of green.

To those who aren't-why is it the first thing you do when you find out someone is colorblind is point to something and ask "What color is that?" You tell me, bitch, I'm colorblind, not a circus monkey. Do you go up to blind people and ask them how many fingers you're holding up? Challenge people in wheelchairs to a foot race? Ask deaf people if they can hear you? Dammit, get some sense.

No, I'm not. My dad is.

I had to do a tonne of those cards for my aviation medical. Guess I'm not colour blind.:)

I tend to have trouble distinguising the yellow colors.

And strangely, I have a really hard time making out bright gold and silver, especially in jewelry.

You get used in everyday life. I have trouble telling traffic lights at a distance, but can make it out as I get closer.

For dressing I don't stray too far from safe, neutral colors. Unfortunately makes for a somewhat boring wardrobe.

In games I sometimes have trouble telling enemy dots from friendly ones. :)

In a previous job, a boss gave me the assignment to copy only the stuff that was in red ink. I saw it all gray and couldn't do it.

I went to the link for additional colourblind testing, but they're ALL for red-green! Ugh! :mad:

What kind of a retarded question is that? I'd ask "What colours do you have difficulties seeing?".

Aww!:(

No but I used to joke my dad after both of his legs were amputated...

"Hurry up and get your shoes on Pop so we can get outta here."

Ours is a strange family.

That's a reasonable question, I never mind that.

Oh yeah, and no matter how clever the (metaphorical) you think you are, just keep in mind that you're (again, metaphorical-not anyone here or even specifically) like the thousandth person to pretend one color is something else.

And while I'm fuming, I know that it 'just occoured to you' but forgive us if our mind isn't blown by the 'how do we know that we see the same green' idea.

Touche ;)

Green lights have a lot of blue in them, and they specifically made it that way because so many men are red-green colorblind.

It's the most common form. There are more here: http://colorvisiontesting.com/
but don't know if those'll cover your particular case.

I tried that too, and it seems like there aren't any red-blue colourblind tests, but I'm not all that concerned either. I see both red and blue just fine.

However, in darkness, I see blue much harder. For example, during Christmas when there are tons of lights set up, I will look and focus on the green, on the red, etc. very easily, and then turn to the blue and it's just a mess; if I squint as much as possible, it will look only a little blurry.

And then when teachers write on whiteboards (with markers), in the same way, I have trouble focusing on the red. The teacher writes with red marker, then with black marker, and I look at each, switching and being astounded how one is clear, and the other is just a mess.

That's where I got the idea of red-blue colourblindness, and I'm unsure whether it's founded properly.

I'm not colour-blind, but I'm colour-ignorant. I don't remember colours, can't tell what matches what, can can't even tell what colours are what. I had to tell someone what colour my old building was... I had on clue! someone told me it was blue, and I was like, blue? and it was!

I always fail the "numbers in dotted circles" test for some of the circles, but not all I'm supposed to have - in this case the left middle, left bottom, and right bottom.

Yet I always can tell the difference when I am shown what a colorblind person would see and what a non-colorblind person would see.

I usually do fine on all but one of them, where I see a different number.

The only real trouble with color I have is the bright yellows and silver. When I buy jewelry for my girlfriend I think is silver, she swears they're gold.

Bah.

Does anyone else see an eight on the test at the very bottom, or is it just me?

I got all of the other ones though...

No, but I suffer from the rare condition of being colour-deaf.

They were all pictures of ex-Presidents, right? Oh, and I found Waldo in the third one.

I'm not, but I have a friend who is (blue/purple particularly challenge him) and my boyfriend hasn't been diagnosed but I swear he is, he thinks my obviously green rug is blue.

yep, I'm color blind, known it for a few years now, just like my grandfather, so what. According to Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story" the man responsible for Crayola Crayon's colors was color blind as well. You call it "color blind" I call it "color interprative."
The world looks neat to me, Blue Grass isn't just a music, it grows in my front yard. :p

i wasn't colourblind till i took that test:(

Still not colourblind.

I did a lot of testing for colour blindness in the military and passed by recognizing flying colours.

I knew a friend who was colour blind and he even owned an old Black and White TV (didn’t seem to bother him much). He required extensive supervision if we were going anywhere were there with girls, because he dressed how the tones looked to him. Not surprisingly, not everyone can pull off bright purple and orange clothes worn together. But as long as he didn’t pick his own clothes to go out in he was fine.

I must be otherblind. The one where you're supposed to see a 2 or a 5? I see an 8 :( Well if you overlap 2 and 5 it will look like 8. You might be getting some interuption from all the colors showing both what a color blind peson could see and what a normal person could see. I don't know maybe you have one eye colorblind?

Took the test.

I am not color-blind.

I am pound-foolish, though.

Not colour blind.

Nope, I'm not colour blind.

I saw an 8 too, although I passed the other test with flying colors.

Nope.
But I can see the CONSPIRACY clearly!! :eek:

Man...even I dont crack jokes with amputees.

Is he that good a sport? Or is he patiently wating for you to get close enough to catch you?

Nope-I'm not color blind. I'm lucky to have exceptionally good vision.

Nope :D

I do have selective hearing though ...

Nope.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!! NOT THE FNORD!

On a sidenote, I just lost the game. Yes, THE game. I don't know why the Fnord made me think of the game. That is a Fnord in itself.

Its COLOUR, my little green friend

I aced that color blind test. Not surprising, really, because I know I'm not color blind. 100-packs of crayons are good for that sort of thing. :p

In a previous job, a boss gave me the assignment to copy only the stuff that was in red ink. I saw it all gray and couldn't do it.

you can admit it, you just didnt want to do it, did you?:D

I saw all the numbers but #6 Left I didn't see at first, then I looked back and found it.. Source of error?

you can admit it, you just didnt want to do it, did you?:D
No one said color blindness doesn't have its uses :D

Its COLOUR, my little green friend
Color, colour; theater, theatre; ghoti, fish. I'll start worrying about that when English gets a rational spelling system.

You may be in more trouble than you dare believe, then. :eek:
Be vigilant!

Don't feel bad, all of Japan thinks the bottom light (or the one on the left in Japan) is blue and not green. :p

Ask deaf people if they can hear you? Dammit, get some sense.
Sadly, yes, yes they do. Everytime I have to mention that I am deaf in one ear, many people proceed to give me an impromtu hearing test and ask if I can hear something.

They also do the "What color is this?" when I mention I'm color blind as well. :rolleyes:
