My colorblind glasses just changed the result of the ishihara test from strong protan to strong deutan.

That is hilarious. As I've said before, I switch from protan to deutan when I took the test on an old computer, but I didn't know the glasses could have a similar effect!

I remember a few months ago trying to explain how my type of CVD was lucky thanks to being a minor tritan by explaining how I can differentiate between red, yellow and green, and my mom straightup said "Then you're not colorblind." I'm still not sure how she thought that was somehow correct, especially given how receptive she is with other stuff.
@Chromaphobe3 жыл бұрын
"colorblind" seems like a pretty simple diagnosis for most people. When you approach them with severities and protans, deutans and tritans, and dichromacies vs. Anomalous trichromacies.... It's no wonder they clam up and refuse to engage.

About 2 months ago when I found out I was probably colourblind with tritanomaly I told my parents. They laughed. And I'm pretty sure my mum still doesn't believe me. Every time I said I was colourblind she would just argue that I could tell my brightly coloured pens apart when I was younger. However I don't really struggle with brightly coloured pens because for most of the time they all look a bit different to each other.However I do struggle telling apart my pastel highlighters, but she was never there to witness me not being able to tell them apart. To this day I'm pretty sure she still thinks I'm doing it for attention, but when I got my dad to do some online tests that came back with mild tritanomaly, he started to believe me.

To be fair, the literature has a much lower prevalence of tritans than reddit users would suggest, which means the scientists don't even believe you!

Not only was chemistry an absolute pain (luckily I had a lab partner who I was pretty good friends with and he was willing to help me with everything involving colors), but working with resistors during computer engineering is a huge pain as well due to the way they're told apart being a convoluted color coding system.

Good news for colourblind designers I'm not sure how true is that, but I'm pretty sure you don't need to have good colour vision for web design for example. You will have all the tools to see if the contrast is right, you'll will have tools to check wheather the colours are right. Most of the time you'll think about totally different things, totally unrelated to colour. Also, if you work in a team, people may help you a little, in worst case they will just change a colour of some variable, or give you a different image. Furthermore, all your designs will naturally be colourblind friendly, and this is good for accesability (if I spellt this correctly) Not sure about all professions in design field, but webdev is quite forgiving I think.

I love bananas but can’t tell when they are ripe
@Chromaphobe3 жыл бұрын
I'm pretty accurate with squeezing the "bottom" end of the banana to see how firm it is. I can't always do that in the store though, so I've used a color-picker on my phone to figure it out too. I can even use color, in that a stage 4 banana has darker (green) tips. When the banana is all green or all yellow though... not useful.

@@Hoellenmann You're describing stage 7 bananas, which are definitely easy to identify, but are also a lot sweeter and mushier and not the best ripeness for most people, who prefer stage 5/6. Those stage are not only indifferentiable from eachother, but also from stage 3/4, which taste like paint. Yuck.

I can remember in my elementary school we had to paint some kind of outside picture and my colorblind a** apparently painted the sky purple, as if that's a real color🤣, yeah anyway. And my teacher straight up said I was stupid and why I can't color the sky properly in 2nd grade, also loud enough that the entire class could hear her. It was a German village elementary school and the year was 2007 I believe, the teacher looked like she was already standing with one foot in her coffin and was an all around horrible human being. But yea thats the first memory of my CVD beeing used to bully me, by a teacher👍 I also remember at about the same age being tested for colorblindness. Maybe the old shrivelly teacher told my parents about my CVD, but not me?(good job Frau Eckerlebe) At the time I didn't understand why they wanted me to see animals and line on weirdly colored circles where there absolutely were no such things. Next thing I distinctly remember is the doc giving me a pair of glasses and with those glasses suddenly there were animals and lines in these circles, then they took them away from me and asked angain "which animal" and "can you follow the line with your finger" I was so frustrated because it was way to difficult for me, or so I thought. To my memory nobody ever told me what we did there or why, I had to figure that out by myself, kinda infuriating ngl.
