Vtuber Color Blind Challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[@RottenBen]

Aethel being so confident about certain colors and it taking a moment for each person to realize what he said "what's that pink mist?" "first off that pink mist is blue"/ "everyone knows Shrek is one color, he's red" was really enjoyable.

[@AxillaryPower2]

I'm pretty sure the Shrek one was actually Aethel trolling. You could be blind and still know Shrek is "green"; It's cultural lore. And all the other colors Aethel mixed up came up naturally while this one sounded like a set up.

[@ninjablade2]

@@AxillaryPower2 It's honestly a 50/50 haha, Aethal would 100% do it for the bit, but also red/Green colour blindness is the most common type there is, so the two colours would be the most likely to be swapped in someone's mind~

[@undeadcobra6666]

This is as long as my school paper

[@jmvr]

@@ninjablade2 I definitely think they have either Deuteranopia or Protanopia, especially since the "red is brown" and "green is brown" both approximately line up with how people with Deuteranopia/Protanopia see the world. Edit: I have also learned that Protanopia and Deuteranopia both look very similar, which is interesting

[@Bulbbley]

⁠@@jmvr as someone with deuteranopia. I can tell you that the colors me and him were seeing are definitely similar

[@Dandicoot1]

As someone who is also slightly color blind, hearing them refer to the clearly brown color after the first prompt as "dark red" hurt my soul. XD Those colors look EXACTLY like that character's colors to me

[@thoughtsengineer]

Well tbh I can see how it could look like a reddish brown color 🤷‍♂️ So it’s not that bad

[@gabrielhicks8043]

There's no way they thought the clearly yellow color for the second character was green, clearly they must be the true colorblind ones Edit: I conveyed this terribly but this was supposed to be a joke lol, I know I'm colorblind

[@sussus4586]

There is both dark red and brown

[@Cadrid]

It’s always fascinating trying to see the world through someone else’s eyes. Aethel was genuinely brave to do this, and a real great sport about the game!

[@SeanSMST]

Aethel was brave? I'd argue the other artist guests were brave to agree to this

[@ElRectalo]

@@SeanSMST He means like *brave to share his disabilities*, i guess

[@Naokarma]

@@SeanSMST truly brave of the artists to be in the same room as someone who is colorblind. However will we reach their heights of bravery?

[@jamesscott7215]

Bro I’m colorblind, it ain’t that brave, it’s basically the same as someone not having 20/20 vision it’s just a lot less common

[@Naokarma]

@@jamesscott7215 Funfact: It's actually probably way more common than you think. Something like 1/14 males are colorblind (it's sex-specific due to it being an X-linked gene for Protans and Deutans. Tritans are 1/10,000 regardless of sex).

[@jucabnubster]

I'd be interested in the opposite direction. See if a typical vision person can make the colors, then different kinds of colorblind artists draw what they think. That way we see a better representation of what they see

[@smoliv55]

ooh i like this idea a lot!

[@geenpunk]

[@eMallard]

@@MatNightmarehow do you figure out which colours to use? Genuine question

[@MatNightmare]

@@eMallard For digital art, you can use the color picker to check where the color is in the hue spectrum. For instance in Photoshop the hues are ordered in a specific way (Red -> Magenta -> Pink -> Purple -> Blue -> Green -> Yellow -> Red), so when you pick a color you can see exactly where it lands on the hue spectrum and know if it's yellow or green, even if you yourself can't tell. For physical art, people usually label their colored pencils and most paints already come with labels.

"Red is brown" can help anyone through not only this drawing challenge but also in identifying their bowel movement discharges as well.

[@timwoods2852]

Yes, but if you have RedGreen colorblindness then green us also brown depending on the hue.

[@iantaakalla8180]

Still, you do not want your poop to be red or green so red/green colorblindness aside you would go to a doctor if your poop was littered with an indistinguishable red/green muddiness

[@timwoods2852]

@@iantaakalla8180 I actually pooped green when I was a really little kid. My parents freaked out and took me to/called the doctor. He said green poop was fine.

[@privpi]

​@@iantaakalla8180But like, if red is brown, how are you supposed to know if it's just poop brown or a bad brown?

[@Actiondanny]

Is it me, or is this challenge really fucking difficult even without the colorblind roadblock? Maybe artists are just better at thinking in these terms, but I couldn't have gotten any of these with the colors being accurate.

[@nhooj8882]

Right? Hints were a necessity, and even then I was 100% convinced the prompt for Yugi was supposed to be Jotaro. Even with correct colors they basically match.

[@yeveni]

Normally it's easy, most well designed character have a really specific color palette that can be kind of guessed (but the fun comes from the artists drawing different stuff too, so it's a cool video idea)

Thank you Aethel, for being apart of this, and for being a good sport :> and it’s rad to see so many people in the comments talking about their own experiences with being color blind

If you're ever confused as to what colours Aethel can and cannot see, Nyan has said she always wears colours he can see. Black.

[@ZheCloud]

God Aethel was absolutely adorable. Hope to see more of this advanced difficulty version. But I don't think I'll ever get over the red Shrek...

[@Groggy_Gamer]

I was struggling with what to comment. I've decided to drop the "wtf"s and jokes, and honestly just thank Aethel for his bravery and generosity. This made for a sometimes funny, but all together fascinating video. I feel like I've learned something, and I don't want to cheapen that with knee-jerk reaction humor. I'll admit that the Shrek color mention made me do a double take, but I won't make fun. Thanks for a great look at how you see things!

[@BramLastname]

​@@cheesymation Not sure, Green and Red are actually surprisingly similar. Especially since he seems to be Green Weak (aka Yellows, greens and brown are most problematic and lighter colours look more purple or pink than usual.)

[@sidkit4ever]

​@@BramLastnamemakes sense considering he saw blue as pink in the Disney logo

[@BramLastname]

@@sidkit4ever true, but it's kinda difficult to tell. Since every time either the blue looks like pink or pink sometimes looks like blue. This brown looks like green or green looks like brown. Ect. Ect. There's no real way to know which ones are the telltale signs and which ones were more accidental. Since his colour blindness affects his perception of how colours work on such a fundamental level.

[@cheesymation]

@BramLastname Even if it might look red to him, i think it's common knowledge that Shrek is a green ogre, like grass is green or the sky is blue

As a fellow artist who was also colorblind, I appreciate Aethel for taking part in this. And I think the rest of you all did a pretty good job too

[@some_other_guy]

From the description I knew this was going to be good but once he said "This isn't super Mario" and you all were devastated I knew it'd be great. Edit: I was correct, that was super interesting. Candii's drawing of the Genie at the end had my jaw on floor, wow.

[@41tinman41]

Now I'm curious to see Aethel's color palette. Like how he sees the world or how he sees a color palette on a digital art program.

[@LughLamhfhada0609]

The latest video on the channel "Froyo Dealer", is a long clip of Aethel running images through a deuteranopia simulator and talking about his vision a bit more.

[@supermintsoda743]

to better describe this, Aethel isn't seeing colors mixed up, like seeing the blue smoke as pink instead of blue. He's seeing the blue smoke exactly as it's drawn. The difference is when he was young and someone pointed to pink and said "This is pink" he was seeing it without the red coloration, so what he calls pink is to him a light greyish blue color. So when something is actually that greyish blue color, he thinks it's pink, since he can't tell the red that would normally make something pink isn't present.

[@rideronthedrumbeat]

This is an interesting perspective - I never considered that pink as I learned it is most similar to light red, but pink as Aethel learned it is most similar to light blue.

[@Bruceyboi13]

As a fellow colorblind member of the castle, this gave me a good representation of how he sees certain colors. Very fun to watch and very relatable.

I don't know if that'll make it too easy when guessing what character to draw, though. Lol

Red green color difficulty. Very common. I find it easier to determine the color they think it is by the intensity of light reflected by that color. So bright greens, oranges, and yellows can all be the same. Reds and greens are indistinguishable. Red IS brown, but tan is not brown. Tans, light grey/blue, and pink are all intermixed: real hit and miss if they can tell the color correct. Blues and purples are the same color to a point, then they are clearly different colors.

It honestly isn't any different from regular life, and if I am to be brutally honest, you just kind of learn to live with it by recognizing patterns instead of colors to associate things with. If anyone else has noticed, stuff like driving... You may see green, yellow and red, but colorblind people see a go light on the right and a stop light on the left or a go light on the bottom and the stop light on top.

[@lilbiggums747]

[@SnowFox-gv2rn]

I’m always curious about how people with various kinds of color blindness see the world. Sometimes the colors will look completely different from each other, and sometimes they’re almost the same, and it always fascinates me! I’ve even learned that two people that aren’t considered colorblind will disagree with what color they’re seeing (Example: one time, my mom and I couldn’t agree on wether a cardigan we were looking at was light green or light blue). To every person that can see color, colorblind or not, every single person perceives colors differently, which I think is really cool!

[@garettjohnson6978]

Being colorblind myself, it is WAY funnier watching it! Being colorblind has it's hardships, but overall I feel like if it isn't a severe case, like you only see grays, it can be kinda fun and not that terrible. Of course, maybe I'm just trying to SEE the best of it 🤣. I'll see myself out.
