Colour blindness stuff.

[Proper Bo]

In April of 2001, while discussing with a close friend of mine Nick Yee, who is red-green colorblind, the differences in our subjective visual experiences, we realized that color vision is not an unequivocal gain. That is, in some situations, he could perceive variations in luminosity that I could not. This difference got us to thinking whether we could design a "reverse" color blindness test - one that he could pass because he is color blind, and one that I would fail because I am not.

the second one is totally clear for me. True story.

i can see both, does that mean I have eye aids too?

I'm afraid so mate.

6, 0, 56?

And the blindness achievement award goes to the girl playing with her internets while the hubby paints over-sized LOTR dolls.

6, o and NO is what I'm seeing.

I'm not strictly colour blind, though, I see all the primaries but nuances screw me over a lot (it's cos of a virus, not the usual thing). I could be fucking the last one up.

I see what you mean now..that comes through a little too. Tbh I think those things aren't very good because I have perfect vision. Funny how it's usually men who are colour blind tho'.

Might just have to do with the contrast on your monitor

Women can have it too, but it's way rarer, it's genetic, like, and usually dormant or recessive in people with xx for some reason.

You can also have it temporarily if you're ill or pregnant or something.


Still, it's usually women wot have their periods, so it's a fair trade. Though my outlook might be different if all I saw were shades of brown, like.

I couldn't really tell what they were, but I could sort of guess, if you know what I mean

The first and the last aren't uber clear to me, like. But they aren't hard to make out.

The middle one is so clear I had a hard time accepting that others can't see it.

Maybe you've all had some bad eye-aids like wot I did, so your colour-perception is fucked now, same as what happened to me.

Mine started out perfect, you know.

Both of my brothers are color blind, one seriously so, the other slightly. As the chaps said it's much more common in men than women and is almost certainly passed from your maternal grandfather.

I was tested in school and at that time, though it was rather a long time ago, I showed no signs of colour blindness. My brother who has it to the max cannot tell the difference in colour between a red andgreen traffic light. True Story.
