I can kind of see the 4 in 42 but the rest just isn't there for me. In high school I considered joining the Air Force to get electronics training. I took the physical and in the eye exam I took a similar test and failed it. At that point they told me electronics training was probably out. Later in college during a visit to the eye doctor I asked about color vision. I took a test and got 100%. The test involved arranging a series of colored discs in spectral order. I had no problem with this

Red/Green color blindness is relatively common in men. I have no idea what I have. I know I see some colors differently than most people. I have a hard time reading the bands on resistors. Green traffic lights sometimes look white to me (luckily red and yellow look red and yellow).

Phew!

, I can see 42, 97 and 5 (although the 97 looked almost like 87).

Has it always been like this or does it develop over time? If this happened to me suddenly, I'd probably go crazy.

I can't see any of them. My colorblindness drives my mom crazy, it's great. "It's silver." "NO IT ISN'T! IT'S TEAL!!!!" "If it was teal it'd look like teal."

I wouldn't get too excited either way. If there's one thing we know about color constancy on computer displays, it's that there ain't no such thing. A valid color blindness test is much better controlled for saturation, brightness, ambient light, etc.

I have no problems with seeong the numbers, what used to drive me nuts was when all those artwork that you're suposed to stare at and see some sort of image within it was all the rage and was available in evey poster store. No matter how hard I try to stare at the artwork, I could never see the image that was susposedly hidden within it.

 

[redshifter]

yeah it sucks to be color blind. i ranted about it a while ago.

here is a typical situation:

them: "all the passed tests are marked green and all the failed tests are marked red on the spreadsheet."
me: "but i can't see red and green. i'm colorblind."
them: "then what good are you?"

i'm serious. "what good are you?" nowadays i just keep that info to myself. any color-coding i can change i do: to yellow and blue! ignorant insensative bastards!

If I open in in photoshop and slide the constrast right up and the brightness down to about 25% I can see it. Does that count?

i can see them as-is, but then it might be because my monitor is set up color-wise the way i like it. plus, i never could get a hang of those crappy 3-D art things either.

i have a friend who's severely color blind. he used to show up in the most hilariously mismatched outfits. luckily for him, his wife dresses him now.

 

[CSMR]

I can see the 5 and the 42, but the 2 is almost invisible, and can't see 97 however hard I try.

 

[perplex]

the "95" looks like "9S" or something to me, the bottom of the "5" end of the 5 tail doesnt go that far :/

 

[RYCeT]

Damn, this is creepy. I just have my eyes checked 2 hours ago. It's the first time for me. When the doctor showed me that color test. I'm having problem w/ the red & green thing.

 

[chadbang]

I can see %50 of "5".

Ah, the hell with it. I made my living for 5 years doing page design, and the newspaper's chief graphic designer was colorblind, too! (We just didn't tell anyone

)

Im with you i cant distinguish any of them clearly enough to determine what number they are, but i know im not colorblind

 

[Mr.PD]

I have to pass that color test to maintain my employment.
On my screen it looked the same as I remembered it.
