Not looking at any other post here, since I see people posting the numbers:
Top left: no number
Top Middle: 1327
Top Right: 56 ? numbers are tilted, a 5 on left, 6 on right side
Bottom Left: 2719
Bottom Middle: no number
Bottom Right: never seen this pattern used before in a test, and no number
I found out in first grade. We had to lay out crayons according to color, and I screwed that up something fierce apparently. Teacher talked with me and my mom, and yep, I'm colorblind. Why? My mom is. So unfair going into life knowing that there wasn't even a chance you could be normal. When a woman is colorblind, any male children she has are guaranteed to be colorblind, and her daughters I believe have a 1/4 chance of being a carrier for the gene, if the father was not colorblind. I think if the father is colorblind, then the daughter has a chance to be colorblind or a carrier. I don't think a daughter can actually be colorblind if only the mom is, I think she only has a chance to be a carrier.
I hope whenever my sister has kids, that none of her kids have it.
In fourth grade, I got a terrible grade on some coloring project. Then I told the teacher I was colorblind.
In seventh grade, we had to draw a caricature of ourselves on our art project folder. Needless to say, the damn color pencils didn't have any color labels on them. And I drew my face green thinking it was peach.
I'm color deficit, technically speaking. Red/green to be exact. I can see reds and greens, just not all the shades of colors that are comprised of those colors. And apparently the colors I can see of those shades, are a lot less vibrant to me than to non color deficit people.
I'm hoping one day there will be a gene therapy treatment that can fix our damaged rods/cones (whichever it is), because eye transplants won't work since our body's DNA will naturally damage the functioning rods/cones that are in the new eyes.
I imagine, if that ever happens, it'll be extremely trippy as all of a sudden we could see the colors we never did, with the natural vibrancy. It'd be like being on a hallucinogen for the first few months I'd imagine, as it'd take awhile for our minds to adjust to these new colors that we never saw. It'd be so damn fun, especially in summer when nature has a lot more colors to offer.
But yeah, for the longest while, I never understand why the green light on traffic signals was called green. It always looked white to me. I think for the most part they still look white to me, but my mind is trying to compensate because I see them as having a little bit of green in the lights. And some of the newer lights do look pretty green to me, like the LED-based traffic signals.
The yellow always stood out to me, but there is one traffic light in my hometown that I encountered at night, where the yellow signal looked like a vibrant green. So I was like.. okay I can just fly through this intersection... and then BAM it was red. I was like... "WHERE WAS THE YELLOW?!" and then I discover the green was quite a bit different. So strange. :laugh:

Its like seeing UV light. Have you ever seen UV light before? How do you go through life never having seen UV light. You can't miss what you never have.
Yes. For those that can't, don't worry, you might have a poorly-calibrated LCD. I mean, the other day I logged onto Facebook on my cousin's computer. Looking through my Facebook album on his computer felt like someone had applied some dumb Photoshop artistic filters on them.
But that's prob a topic for another thread.

Probably because the older bulb lights used a lens to tint it green, but white still got through. LEDs are very exact and produce one color only so there is no need to have a green lens just tinting the light.
Interesting though how you're colorblind but only partially, like how green isn't green unless it is very green.
I like green, I can't imagine going through life not seeing green color

Yes, I am colorblind.
This is what I see:
Top left: nothing
top middle: 1327
top right: 5 and 6 sideways
bottom left: 2719
bottom middle: an elephant
bottom right: nothing
I've been clinically diagnosed as colorblind, so no surprise.

I can't see the top-left or bottom-right.
Basically if there is red mixed in, I can't really tell. I can see red, but not distinguish it easily when other colors interfere.
Example: I bought a light pink hat thinking it was white and grey.... I colored the oceans half blue and half purple once because the pencils aren't labeled. I can't tell red and brown apart most of the time.
It's similar with blue but not quite as bad - I can't tell light green from yellow, for example.

It's ok baby, you can admit that you're color blind... or just blind
