If you have a defect in the red-green cones and rods in your eyes, you will see a different number than people with perfect color vision. It's actually pretty popular, like 7% of American males. I'm doing a project for school on this, and we found these things.

tbh I don't understand why colourblindness matters.. If you look at it this way - say theoretically everyone in the world was colourblind to some degree, so we all saw colours in different ways (ie. 'brown' would appear as 'blue' to someone, or 'green' would actually be 'red' to another person) it wouldn't matter, because those colours are going to be constant for those people, and the words for colours (ie. red, blue, yellow, green, etc.) are just words we apply to a colour we see, so if someone saw 'yellow' as 'green' they'd still call it yellow. This scenario is pretty much not possible, due to our genetic makeups as a race being so similar, which is why I'm pretty much just throwing out random colours right there just to prove a point.


Edit: the only time it might matter is with those pictures above, but then again, it's not like patterns like that are seen on a regular basis in everyday life, so it wouldn't really make a huge difference in the way 'colourblind' people view the world, except for in very specific situations.

And something from wikipedia I found kind of interesting, relating to the whole how colourblind people view the world thing: "in certain situations, however, color blind people have an advantage over people with normal color vision. There are some studies which conclude that color blind individuals are better at penetrating certain camouflages."



And I pretty much just completely contradicted everything I said in the first paragraph lol, fuck my life.


Edit 2: I picked the first option, even though I can see the 'NO' in the second picture, but barely, kinda weird.. Same with the first one, I can kinda see both numbers really, I actually originally thought it was 24, but apparently not.. So yeah, I dunno, I guess I'm pretty fucked..

Well this kind of color blind test is for not being able to tell the difference between two colors. I get what your first paragraph is saying though, Dre, I've talked about that before.

my stepdad is color blind
he knows what the colors are by learning them at school. how in kindergarten you write yellow under the yellow square, blue under the blue square, etc. he knows colors for what they look like to him. his red is like our yellow. its weird, and he cant pick out his own clothes.

I had to do a bunch of these when I was going for my airman medical certification. They get so effing annoying.
 
Second choice, If it wasn't suggested that the second is NO I prolly wouldn't have figured it out, the O is there but the N looks unclear.
Idk how anyone would see 21, there's seriously nothing there to form the base of a 2.

You know when your in grade school and you learn colors? Well I learned what yellow was, it just looked different to me, I always thought it looked white/tanish. And with green, the green cone in my eye is weak said my eye doctor and now green is starting to not be has dark for me because he said it might get better and it has.
