Color blind women are pretty rare. Mostly it's a guy thing. Ask her if she's XXY.

You mean you can't tell of it's colour A or B, like Red, Blue? Or can't see colours at all, the latter is pretty rare.

I'm fairly confident color blindness is the inability to tell certain colors apart. Seeing everything in shades of grey is unheard of as far as I know.

Ok this is the first color blind test I've seen that I can't distinguish the character in it...is this a real one?

Yep, there is clearly a 3 in the middle of it.





















I kid, :p there nothing there. (I'm not color blind. My eyes may have a lot of problems, but that isn't one of them.)

Meh, I can see part of it - the shades they used, or perhaps my monitor is more forgiving for my eyes, doesn't obscure all of it.

And yep, color deficient women are fairly rare.
Ask my mom - that's who I got this damned genetic flaw from. :(

For me, it's an interesting little thing: mostly it's telling apart similar shades or colors that use fairly similar colors to comprise them, specifically colors that use red and green. Brown and green, red and pink, brown and red, green and yellow, purple and blue.
I hate purple and blue the most: my favorite color is blue, you see, and well, purple doesn't always appear purple to my eyes, sometimes the red component is weak once my brain registers it, and I am completely in the dark as to whether that purple is blue or actually purple. Worse, because I've had that problem so many times, sometimes I guess a shade of blue is actually purple, because I am expecting the real life color to have some color components that my eyes aren't seeing - it's weird for the color to actually register just fine my eyes, not missing anything. But everything with blue, I see the blue just fine.

It's really weird when a shade is mostly white but with a little hint of just red or green. Say, super light greens, or faint pinks... sometimes they look grey.

But for the most part, I see colors quite fine. Most colors I still see as a color, and are distinguishable from other colors unless they are fairly close in shade. Green and yellow wiring can be a bitch if they use terrible shades of green. I might not see the colors accurately, but I can at least see many shades. Though I have seen some evidence that suggests the colors that even I can spot out just fine and name easily, just aren't as vibrant if compared to a viewer who sees them through normal eyes.

I hate it too I painted my Ye Olde Baker Boy in TF2 Pink because I thought it was gray. And my favorite color was blue till I used to think purples were blue in elementary school and got made fun of. Dark green/brown is now my favorite :D

I'm colorblind, mostly certain shades of green and brown look the same to me. But I'm fairly certain my perspective of the whole spectrum is nowhere close to normal. I rarely mention anything about color, because all my friends laugh their heads off whenever I do.

Yeah, for an art class in junior high, we had to draw a caricature of ourselves on the folder that served as our portfolio for the class.

The colored pencils that the class used were of some brand that decided not to print the color on the side.
I used a peach color for the skin.

No, in fact, I did not use peach. My fellow classmates helpfully pointed out I colored my face some weird shade of green. They asked why, and well, I replied "wait, you're fucking with me right? That's not peach?"

I was so pissed. Stupid cheap ass colored pencils. Why the hell are the colors not named on the side?

This is why, whenever I bought colored pencils or crayons, they had to be Crayola. Other brands forgot to add that helpful label.

On tests just like in the OP I'll usually get maybe 30% of them correct.

Also, I have never understood what You People are talking about when you say a color matches or clashes.

Her 3 year old sister has this compulsion to peel off the paper, much to my chagrin.
