Day In The LIFE of Being Colorblind

[@tashawells3568]

Max you are such an amazing person! You are your dads twin, and it’s clear as day that you are going to one day make an amazing husband and father just as your Dad is! Crystal and Aaron, you guys make it look easy, and I know there is no way possible that raising that many kids is easy, however I feel as though you two were meant to be parents of many. You both are so patient, calm, funny, humble, loving and beyond amazing parents! It’s truly hard to put into words how much I admire you both for the way you parent while still making life fun and loving each kid in the way they want/need to be loved. Thanks for sharing Max, I am pretty sure I can speak for majority in saying that we love you just as much as we did before! I love that you embrace how you see the world, that makes it even more beautiful! Great vlog per usual, love you guys sooooooo much!

[@catherinefoster1481]

Well said, Tasha! My sentiments exactly.

[@cameronx8711]

❤Couldn’t have said it better ❤

[@jjellybelmo4]

The way Max explained it makes so much sense. Being told "this is red. Or that is blue" the color he sees, right or not, is the way he learned the name of what he sees. That is his normal, and it always has been 🤷‍♀️ I think it's just a part of Max being Max ❤️

[@jazminerodriguez9004]

I love how chill max is and how he doesn’t let that mess up his day to day life 🙏🏼 Also this video brought me to tears at the end, you don’t think about what it’s like for people that are colored blind… We sometimes take life for granted and we shouldn’t, especially since we only live once! God is always by our side at the end of the day ❤️😇

[@joebellnier6397]

Max is amazing, so chill and easy going. Max looks so much like his dad.

[@savannahsnaps6]

Seeing the world through max's eyes reminds me of an old school film camera it's very unique great to see it doesn't slow him down at all it's just how he grew up and adapted so max knows no different

[@jamiebaccam1446]

Max has grown up so much since I found your channel. He had such a positive up lifting outlook.

[@heathermizner2084]

I love how you demonstrated color blindness. My brother is color blind too. It is super easy to “forget” he is color blind. He functions just fine. It has nothing to do with who he is and doesn’t effect his daily life.

[@rachelstitt2967]

I just love Max and his view on life. He is so chill and has the greatest heart. He reminds me so much of my middle son. I have completely enjoyed watching him grow into such a great young man. Max keep being yourself and you will have an amazing future.

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

Max I am a graphic design instructor and I talk to my students about color blindness when we talk about accessible design for people with disabilities. I am going to use this video in my class in the spring.

[@carolkirr9339]

Our son, who is color blind, took a job at a popular clothing store and was asked to sort into piles the dark blue, dark green and black polo shirts. Needless to say, he had them all mixed up….the other fellow working with him asked if our son was joking around….thankfully, his associate put the clothes into appropriate piles. We really got a kick out of this story.

[@sallyjones2736]

This is me too! Black, dark blue, dark brown, dark green, all look black or shades of black to me. I wore a shirt for years thinking it was black but it actually dark brown.

[@imLittleBean]

Hey Max! I'm colorblind as well and it's great to see you bringing awareness to colorblindness. Thanks for sharing with everyone! :)

[@livinglifewithb.b9838]

Im happy that max just still smiles and dont let colorblind hold him back .

[@pastorwife]

My hubby is color blind also and it doesn't effect his day to day life. And his mainly red colors he sees as pink. Brown is black to him. He didn't find out til he went into the military that he was even color blind. He was not being a pilot so he was good. Thanks for sharing how you see the world Max.

[@rhondalight3302]

WOW!!! I am always amazed by how human genes are passed down I've always noticed how much Max LOOKS like his dad but in this video, it is "CRAZY" how much he SOUNDS like Aaron I literally could not tell the difference if I closed my eyes I am so thankful that I was lead to your channel thru The Miller Family I knew there were still good people in this world in spite of how it seems sometimes, but I honestly didn't realize that there were people SO GOOD as you two and the family you have created with your love, passion and compassion You truly are amazing (forgive my punctuation, I have several keys missing on my chromebook)

[@catherinefoster1481]

You did great Rhonda! Who cares about punctuation anyway? It's highly overrated in my opinion 😊

[@williamahders3434]

Yes!!!! Max sounds exactly like Aaron!!!……Ellen

[@deckee0507]

I thought the same several times through this video. Not just his voice but the way he says and explains things.

[@angelastenglein672]

I also follow the Miller fam but reverse I was lead to the miller's from crazy pieces both families are awesome

[@rhondalight3302]

@@deckee0507 I didn't think about that but you're right, even his hand gestures when speaking and like you said, just how he explains things

[@mercyGofficial07]

didn't know this. the world is still beautiful. its just how we see it 💚 love you Max

[@MrsRushJ]

Thanks for sharing! My son has deuteranopia and has the same trouble with colors. We’ve determined that his issue with blue and purple is that purple has red in it. Since you and my son are blind to red, then you see purple without the red, which is blue. Hope that helps!

[@annavazquez2487]

Loved this video. Thank you Max for being open to share this with use. Helps me with friends and family that are colored blind.

[@Yoongiwifie]

The way that max sees the world is a beautiful thing I’m glad it doesn’t effect you in any way! But to me the way you see life it’s very gorgeous. Thanks for taking us to a life that you see! :)

[@rgobrien58]

I think it's great that you did a video on colour blindness. It is very much misunderstood as a black and white thing or shades of Gray. When Crystal was starting to discuss shades, for me that is when I have the most difficulty. Like when green gets darker or red gets darker I generally call it brown before most people because my eyes don't see the red or green in it. Thanks Max, yes it's considered a disability if we're applying to be a police officer or profession requires the need to identify colours precisely, but we can live a fulfilling normal life enjoying all the colours that we see in our own way.

[@carolmadigan3250]

My son is red/green colorblind also his passion is photography he doesn’t let it hold him back - Max you’ve shown it hasn’t stopped you from living your life well. Keep doing what you’re doing it’s working for you.

[@lindathorburn8361]

Thanks for sharing this! My husband is colourblind and unilaterally deaf. This just showed me how he sees the world. I always “forget” and realise after he I’ve asked him to get something for me and he’s confused. He can’t cook chicken as he can’t see the colours. He has served it raw on quite a few occasions- -same with his hearing - if I’m on his left side he can’t hear me. We live in Australia so right hand drive - driving is very loud in our car when my husband drives and we all need to yell 😂.

[@summerjones9399]

I love how you showed how you see things compared to everyone else. After seeing it I thought that the sunset the way you see it was beautiful. Thank you for showing us how beautiful things can be in another perspective.

[@mairimacleod9486]

This was very well explained Max and it makes us realise that you have grown up seeing the world like you do and so for you it's normal. It's only other people telling you it's not.

[@mariegarner8770]

Yay first like and comment. Love this content. Best to you and your family. Happy Monday.

[@tiggerhaines4307]

Thanks Max. Now I learned something new about colourblind. I have always wondered how much of the colours you can see. I didn’t know there’s a different degrees of colourblind. Hugs to you and your mom.💕💕

[@terrigonzalez8186]

Thanks for sharing that part of your world Max. I've always been curious so now I understand.

It was like having a comfortable course on colorblind..... Thank you for doing that🥰

That is so interesting, thanks for sharing! It really helped to see the different perspectives on screen. My husband was never diagnosed, but he definitely has a hard time with shades of blues and greens.

[@dagunnaswife]

Max, that was so informative. I actually learned quite a bit. Thanks.

[@angeliquecarmack5475]

Max, my husband is color blind as well and I have never thought to ask how it is for him when he cooks or orders food. However he did say when he is cooking he goes by the texture. My kids also like to point out rainbows in the sky my husband most of the time sees them as different shades of grey. Sometimes he doesn’t even mention being colorblind to friends or family just to not have the hassle of all the questions.

[@marietajalle391]

Thanks for sharing, Max! Awesome job in letting us know how you view everything. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴💕🌴

What a great vlog, max loving you chatting and smiling and taking us through your day. Showing us how you see the world, loved every minute of it. Max keep smiling cos you have such a great smile, and we want to see more max vlogs in the future. Love you all, all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️

[@jennicajade]

You might already do this , but something I do when cooking meat is use a meat thermometer, it might help max to know the meat is cooked and safe even if he can’t see the Color of its readiness. Anyway thanks for sharing how you see the world ☺️

This was so interesting to watch! Thank you for explaining how you see the world Max!!

Max, your photographs are beautiful. It just goes to show you are expressive with details and light although you are color blind. Thanks for sharing. I know this is helpful to others.

[@carolynpearce7338]

Max is such a mature young man. I love to see him in the videos!

[@kennie727]

It’s amazing listening to Max talk, you can really hear the similarities between his tone & language as Aaron’s.. some of the times during the video if I looked away, I’d think that Aaron had started talking..

[@kentstreeb2396]

What a really helpful educational video. As you know, most people are unaware of how color blind people like Max see the world and the challenges and frustrations it can create. This type of video showing the daily life challenges is really helpful to create awareness and dispel myths (like how you can identify colors if you don't really see them, that "color blind" is really a misnomer because you do see some color, etc.). Kudos to you all.

[@jenniferbarton6990]

Fun fact! If you ever end up on Tip Hill in Syracuse NY there is an upside down traffic light. There are lots of articles about it. Thought you might find it interesting. 😉

The colours Max learnt has he sees them, are natural to him. Max you are a great young man. It is good you have your cousin and others who love photography, to give you the input when needed. Blessings Max and to all of your family.

Max is amazing & chill.seeing this video through Max’s eyes was pretty cool.glad he doesn’t let colorblindness get in the way of his day to day life.🥰

[@annewiekecreates]

Who Max, great that you're explaining how the world looks to you're eyes. I have maybe a suggestion. The question that goes true my mind is. You're taking pictures and sometimes you ask the people around you if the colors are right. But you also told you have glasses who show you the colors the way most people see. Maybe you can you use the classes while taking pictures? So you can see for yourself? Maybe you re doing that already. But it was something that goes true my mind. Have a nice day!

[@rosemaryheart4706]

I always figured that was the very reason you stick to black & white colored (& everything in between) clothing. Humans are amazing & I wouldn't be surprised if even those of us that aren't colorblind see different shades of colors as well just like we have different taste buds or some of us are more sensitive to music or noises than others. Just of course, not as a severe degree as Max. More like the tiniest shade that's barely any different. Thanks for sharing with us. I always wondered what it was like through the eyes of the colorblind. I have to wonder, Max, did you wear your glasses in order to accurately edit the images to show how you see the world?

[@tanyasegerstrom1886]

Love it that Max doesn't let his color blindness control his life he just goes with the flow

[@nanapower5065]

Thank you so much for making this video. I was always curious on how someone who is color blind sees the world and that they're so many different types. Very educational THANK YOU! 😊

[@heron5355]

Max is so intelligent and well spoken! I absolutely love watching these kiddos grow! Gosh I feel old now lol. Wish I could trade places with max for a day! What he sees is perfect especially the sunset. Wish you guys showed us fall colours in Max’s eyes 😊 that would have been amazing!

[@kathe.o.]

I LOVE CRAZY PIECES to PIECES! I love Max, I feel for his lack of the full color spectrum in his sight. My love of pastels, he can ONLY experience with the special chroma-glasses ya'll got him years ago. To him it is no longer a big deal. Just a grade in school based on the 'norm.' Max is not alone in this. The majority of people have at least one color they can't name or detect. How Max sees a sunset is how many of us see it via fog or pollution. He looks so much like Aaron it is as if he is the mini-me.

[@princesshydec]

Thank you so much for sharing, this was really insightful as i wondered how he got on with photography

[@nikamirulizzat]

I understand the feeling being a colour blind. I’m myself a colour blind, i couldnt diffrentiate between blue and purple. I love wearing a bright colour shirts/pants but really couldnt tell the colours(but hey asling as i look good in it, so what the heck). ❤❤! Bless you and your family crazy pieces family

Thanks for sharing that, back a lot of videos ago when you got Max the glasses for being color blind was the first time I actually started believing that the condition is real.

[@cameronx8711]

For games , in the settings you can change the colours , just like you can change the controls ! Check your game settings or get someone else to check it for you and it’ll change the colours to the correct ones, it’s specifically for coloublindness

[@terriehumphries6028]

I have two brothers and a brother-in-law that are color blind. We constantly forget because we never wanted it to define who we are. For a while when my brothers were little we wrote the colors on Uno Cards and other games, but they adjusted to what color is to them and at some point we never really had to say anything. My brother-in law because he was special needs was mistaken for not knowing his colors, so his diagnoses came later in life but he has adjusted now as well. I loved this video because more people need to understand that it is not as bad as it seems.

[@somervillecrossingguards8612]

I came across this page several years ago when Crystal had posted about Max going through color, blind, and how they had him where the color blind glasses show the difference for him . This is when I found out my youngest son was colorblind on top of my other sons. so I was looking up stuff about color blindness and learning about it more. And the color blind glasses. Unfortunately I cannot afford three color blank glasses, but my boys are good without it. They learn to drive and everything.

I’m currently in Cape Coral Florida. We are expecting pretty much a direct hit from hurricane Ian, a very scary storm. The scary part is how it will be off the coast which causes storm surges and I live in a bad flood zone and on a canal. Anyways, one thing I’m doing is getting some entertainment together which means saving a ton of Crazy Pieces ans Crazy Middles (and extended channels) videos to watch if/mostly when the power/internet goes out, and we also lose cell service. Y’all will be keeping me and the family company ans giving us entertainment! Lol.

[@cynthiav.9902]

I think people often don't realize there are many different types of colorblindness. I knew a guy who could not see color. He could distinguish light and dark colors but could not name them. So he did explain his colorblindness as seeing black and white or just "shades of one color". Since his colorblindness was quite severe he did need help with picking clothes and with some classes in school etc. Another guy I knew could not see orange at all. And than my sister sometimes has trouble with shades of certain colors mainly yellows, oranges, pinks but since it's just some shades doesn't affect her that much at all.

Interesting vlog, as I am legally blind. I can somewhat relate to that. I am not color blind but I can relate to having to wear neutral colors, I always wear a neutral, blue, black, grey, white or something and a colorful top. And sometimes like today I wear two neutrals. I am horrible with contrast. My parents as well forget about my blindness but there are certain times like crowds or stores that if they say “oh you’ll see me” I make fun of them because they are talking to there blind child.

Very interesting video Max. I totally understand about you not thinking about your color blindness constantly. This is how you see the world & so this is your "normal". I have always had vision with no depth perception & so, have adapted, as this is my "normal". I wonder if the glasses for color blindness would help while playing video games...just a thought.😃

[@steelers43793]

It’s so cool to get a better look into what being colored blindness looks like because my grandad and cousin are dark color colored blind and I always wonder what they were seeing. That was so interesting thanks for sharing Max.

[@MultiKswift]

I don't know which type he has but my grandfather is colorblind, although I don't think it effects him that much. He has always worked in car sales. One day he's at an auction when a client says he wants a new truck. So my grandfather starts describing the cars there. He tells the guy there's a pickup. The guy asks him what color it is and he says white. The client decides he wants that car. So my grandfather buys the car and drives it over to the client. When he gets out he sees that the client appears annoyed. He asks him what's wrong and the guy responds that he told him the car was white. And my grandpa insisted that it was. But the car was actually bright pink. So I don't know if it didn't bother him much so he forgot that he had colorblindness or if that's the first time he learned he had it.

[@Shahska1]

Working and depending on what field you go into that will make a big difference I was in college when I found out that I was color blind and I was having a lot of problems during my optical mineralogy courses because I couldn't tell colors of mineral segments under a microscope when I was looking at them so I couldn't tell pastel colors apart and it's a big key factor for me if you want to do geology and you're looking at mineralogy and you're doing optical slides you can't tell the difference so mineral identification became very hard at that point but it depends on what you decide you want to do and what you're going to make a living at

[@Banyo__]

Every colorblind person I know is exactly like Max. "Everyone else" seems to make a huge deal of it. Colorblind people can't see the colors the way you see them, so it really is important to remember that their normal is absolutely normal for them, so someone freaking out and saying, omg, it must be awful not to see colors like me, makes no sense, because they can't see them that way, only the way their eyes see them. A lot don't actually use or like the Enchroma glasses either because that's a significant alteration of their vision, albeit temporary, in the way they've seen the world their entire lives like saying green is now blue type of deal, when they've sort of memorized the colors and know them to be one way.

[@Mummzy-Fira78]

I’m a maternity and newborn photographer I have Irlen syndrome which means my brain interprets light differently, I often joke I’m a little colour blind because I can’t find the line where blue becomes grey or purple becomes blue or grey, things like that. Because I see light differently my photos especially the newborns were washed out. I now have my son check a couple of photos in each session to help me gage the warmth of my photos correctly. Once I have 1 or 2 right I can then use those comparatively to make sure I keep my work flow even and warm and colourful for my clients.. it’s interesting how our brains can see the world so differently and yet we may never know it because that’s just how it is until someone tells us we are wrong.. Anyway I just want to encourage max and anyone else with these learning curves to chase those dreams be it photography or anything else. I have a hearing impaired son that is a musician, you can do anything you set your heart to regardless of the challenges you face.. Wishing you all the best, with love from Australia ❤

[@LorraineG123]

Just a thought,as someone who also loves photography,I wonder is there anywhere in the world a attachment for your camera , on the view finder, or the review screen, that one could attach a film, screen cover,cover for those colour blind. If not,it would be a great attachment. I have family members that are colour blind, one is a mechanic,and one I know is a technician,like you Max,they just learned the difference when younger. Well done Max and mom a great explanation,for those that don't know.

I am colorblind (which is less common in women). My father was also colorblind.
