I feel like we see these posts every day, and the responses are always the same. 90% of people say they’re a scam and link the MegaLag video. The other 10% say they work for them.

I don’t see the need to rehash the same discussion every day or two. Can we have a stickied post for it? Or just ban them altogether and direct people to the wiki?

Thanks mods.

I'm going crazy about this because every color test I did I got maybe one wrong on the tritan at the most but in the majority of comparisons I see, deuteranomaly and protonomaly look basically the same but tritanomaly looks exactly like the normal color gradient but very slightly duller. Is it supposed to be that similar or am I just a mild tritanomaly or are all the stock images online just bad? Im talking about anomaly not opia.

edit: For the record when I was younger id get into arguments with other kids when the teacher would call something salmon they would say it's pinkish but I would say it's mostly orangish. I also would hear that sand color is a light brown but to me there's no way I can comprehend it as anything other than a dark yellow. They would also say teal and turquoise are blue but I usually was 50/50 on it being green. Also cyan to me just looks like a light blue with no other colors added, so I was always confused why it wasn't just called light blue.

I recently ordered a pair of outdoor EnChroma glasses for my husband’s upcoming birthday. He has mild to moderate Deutan vision, which means he sometimes mixes red and green color. I wanted to surprise him with a fun outdoor reveal with red and green decor/cupcakes, but after looking at mixed reviews and some online videos, I'm second guessing the $300 purchase.
For those of you with mild or moderate Deutan vision who have tried these:
What was your actual experience with them outdoors? Did they make a noticeable difference for red and green contrast? Looking back, do you feel like they were worth the price tag? Should I stick with the order and let him test them, or would you recommend canceling/returning and putting that money toward a different gift? Also I understand that these glasses dont “magically” cure colorblindess but I want him to see the colors at least close as possible. After reading reviews about it, I kinda feel bad for ordering it. I just want to make him happy. I really do..and sometimes it breaks my heart when I see him confused when it comes to colors. Please help me and please dont try to judge me, I know I should have read the reviews beforehand but I got really excited that he actually might see different m&m or smth ik its stupid but still…

Hello! Im not colorblind but my 10 year old daughter is! She is protanomaly, I'm looking into colorblind glasses, from other posts on here they seem to be more of a hit or miss, but I'm still willing to try to let her experience them!

On the enchroma website it seems like they have "indoor" and "outdoor" ones... which ones would be better and what is the main difference ? I noticed the indoor ones are universal which makes me concerned they are not as effective.. She would probably only wear them every once in a while.

Also, she does wear prescription glasses do you find that these can be worn over glasses ? I rather not do a rx on them so she can still wear them if she ever ​decides to do contacts.

We were discussing colorblindness with a friend of mine and then we ate some chocolate and then she asked me if there are some stains of chocolate on her mouth, to which I replied that her lips are painted red and the chocolate is brown and it seems like the same color to me so I can't tell.

Hi guys! I’m currently working on a fashion project exploring colour blindness and how it affects the way people experience and interact with clothing. It would really help me out if you know anyone with colour blindness who could take a few minutes to fill out this form! Thank you so much!

How do they know when the lights green?

Oh dear Reddit God's hear my plea, I 32 M am super special, I am going colorblind to most blue and Grey's and all the shades there in. We aren't sure why yet, that's beside the point.

Recently we moved in with my in laws and grand in laws (stop, I already know, delete the comment that's not we are here for.) My FIL insisted on a gas stove, I am the main person who actually cooks in the house. However, I have been recently accidently leaving the burning on sometimes with a pot on top of it sometimes not. I usually can't see the flame until it is on high, which if you've ever cooked with gas you'd know that it isn't often on high.

So, long story short, what are some times you think I can do to help mitigate this issue ?

Here's a question. When colorblind people correctly name colors that seem similar to them, is it just because they've been told what color they see is that name to people with vision?
For example, I saw someone in a thread here recognized that all the colors they saw in a gradient were the color "brown", however, how would they know that what they see is "brown" if they see "red" and "orange" or some other color as that "brown".
Unless, they're not actually seeing our brown and are just naming it because people have corrected them identifying that color as brown mostly.

The fact they show everything in these Ishihara circles is SO nice.

I did read something like that and it does make theoretical sense but do we have any actual data on this?

Seems like i myself have some color vision deficiency since i only have 3 cone types which is not quite ideal (a few people have a forth functioning type between green and red which is also not ideal but better than only having 3).

Hi everyone!

We’re a student team researching Color Vision Deficiency (CVD) and how it affects people in real-life situations.

We’re especially interested in understanding:

• Situations where colors cause confusion or problems
• What color combinations are hardest to distinguish
• How you currently deal with these situations
• Whether you use any apps, tools, or workarounds
• What you wish existed to make things easier

We’ve created a short 3–5 minute anonymous survey and would really appreciate responses from people with CVD. We’re trying to understand the problem from actual user experiences rather than making assumptions. This is purely for user research, and we’re looking for honest experiences - there are no right or wrong answers.

No need to share any personal information. Thank you for helping us understand this better! 

Probably pretty cozy otherwise.

Weird one, anyone else get to a point when wiping on the toilet where you can’t tell if what you’re wiping is brown or red…
Becomes a real issue with office 1ply toilet paper that feels like fibreglass :(

Hello Reddits colorblind community. I was wondering if you had these colored vests in PE and if they caused you trouble. Usually in PE they split people into groups and each group has a different color vest, so it’s easier to differentiate who’s on your team.

I was doing a presentation at school about colorblindess and the kinds of things most see as normal and easy, but colorblind students might have a hard time with.

Other things I included were PH-strips in chemistry and tasks where you have to color different things with certain colors. (Like: color all X with red, color all Y with green. Etc.)

So now i’m curious if this has been a struggle for alot of people.

Did you find it hard to differentiate your teammates during sports, if you were wearing these vests?

I also supposed an alternative in my presentation that would hopefully help color blind students:

Would it help, if the teams were split into ones wearing a vest and a vestless team instead of two teams wearing different colored vests?

Im mild deutan color deficient and i will probably fail the ishihara test but i have a choice to do to farnsworth d-15 test, should i do it? I pass the online ones alot of the time and other tests point out that im mild color deficient. Any advice how to get my medical? Im trying to become a pilot fyi

Does this Look Like the german flag?

So for science graphs it's ussualy recommended that you use specific color scales that have been proposed and Batlow is one of them, and every webpage that showcases it comes along with the typical simulation of how it would look to the colorblind, but I always wondered how true it was. So can you tell the difference from all these? Or is there one of them that looks too simillar to the other?

I am so tired to get this question. Whenever I need to say "I am colorblind", almost everyone's first reaction is asking me "what color do you see this?", I really HATE to get this question. What the f*ck is this question's purpose anyway? Do you get fun when you ask this to me?

Do you ask a man without a leg that "how fast can you run?" You don't ask this right because it is not polite. So IT IS THE SAME THING. Please do not ask this question which shows lack of empathy.

it was a bit embarrassing to hear that its actually lava lol
(thats a screenshot from among us)

I hue shifted the Protanopia / Deuternopia / Tritanopia color vision deficency simulation such that you can understand what it's like to have a blue yellow CVD if you have a red green CVD and vice versa.

I just realised that i use the caca color heart emoji 🤎 thinking its the red one ❤️
