Do the colors of images appeal to you? (I recognize that the most common colorblindness is just for a few colors.) For example, my newest desktop image. It appeals to me because it is colorful. I was just wondering if the colors were appreciated by guys who don't see the same experience I do.  |

I'm red/green color deficient. Extremely so actually. Didn't find out until MEPS. They got pissed at me thinking I was faking it. I couldn't see any of what the hell they were talking about. I had to go to a real eye doc when I got home because I was like WTF??? I can see colors just fine. Turns out I just see them differently than most people. To answer the OP's question ... yes, I do appreciate all colors. I guess my interpretation of them is just a little off from what you see. ETA: No I can't see whatever is in that Ishihara plate up there either. When I see a series of thsoe I MIGHT see what is in one of them.

All the retailers print their fucking ads with red letters on green backgrounds to be seasonal. Gives me a god damn headache to look at it. _MaH |

I realize that but it's not easy to tell if I'm being screwed with or not about if he has colorblindness or not. That's what makes it so funny. But I'll let the cat out of the bag, if he's serious. Otherwise, I'm killing his joke. It says: "FUCK THE COLORBLIND" |

I see a spectrum across the OP's pic. I don't live in a monochromatic world. But when it comes to the dot tests, I got nothin'. I missed half of them at MEPS. |

I can't see a lot of the color tests. I'm color deficient.. I sometimes have trouble between shades of the same color, but I can otherwise tell them apart. The way the eye doctor person explained it to me, if there was a poster with 1000 different colors on it, I could probably differentiate 500-600 of them. |

I don't think I got any! LOL! Several years ago I met a guy who was totally color blind - black and white world. He also had no sense of taste. He could eat the hottest of ANYTHING. Damn that would suck! |

There are more subtle gradients of this sort of test, this is an easy one.
ETA, this is the image with a little processing.

I'm not color blind, I think it's called color deficiency. My reds and greens are off, colors look a little different to me than other folks. Kinda weird considering I've been a bodyman/painter for over 20 years, I always needed a second person to look at spray-out cards when I started getting close to a color match. I worked for a company a few years when they approached me about taking a color tinting class, the look was priceless on my boss face when I broke the news to him.
The only time I really notice I'm color deficient is when I take those tests with the dots and numbers. When I was around 18-19 years old I had to take a physical for a job working on barges, the doctor wanted to send me to a specialist. He said it would be a dangerous job for me unless I could tell the difference between red and green(port/starbord), I explained to him I see the difference in reds and greens in the real world but always failed the color blindness tests. I asked him if I was going to fail the physical because of the test, he said no. I asked if I was going to have to pay for the specialist out of my own pocket, he said yes... I started laughing at him , he looked like I just got done pissing in the corner. |

I can read the red/green retailer ads, so if that's what's leading you to think I'm colorblind, that's not the case. However, there have been several times where my wife or someone else has referred to something as a pink color, but all I see instead if white or gray. I mean, I can tell that this is red, and this  is green, but is that not what you mean?
Get it checked out further? _MaH |
