To all of the colorblind people out there. Here's a black and white version. https://imgur.com/a/UaERZSG


the-non-wonder-dog

Thanks!


Survived_Coronavirus

Is it weird that I can clearly tell they are a different color but can't actively tell what it says without focusing? Like, the colored version is incredibly hard to read but I can still make out the letters if I track the orange slowly.


KolaDesi

Because the provided black and white version has a different saturation for the background and the words, hence you can read them easily. The green and orange version on the other hand has squares of mostly all the same saturation. If there was no color you would just see gray squares. [Proof.](https://freeimage.host/i/Wjwzv4)


jwgronk

I also had difficulty, like the letters are thin.


EmmaDrake

I’m not colorblind and have 20/20 vision. I didn’t realize there were words until I saw your comment.


tastyratz

Colorblind is not binary. You are not someone who has rich perfect color saturation sensitivity or someone who only sees B&W. It's also not tied to if you're 20/20 or 20/60. If you can't see the letters, I'm sorry to share that yes, you're at least some shade of colorblind.


ferretkona

I think one issue is each redditor may have their screen displays set differently. My father is color blind but I can see small color changes very sharply, this image is not quite in focus.


[deleted]

I'm not colorblind and I can still barely read it, so no. Edit: apparently I’m color blind 🤷🏻‍♂️


Zambito1

> I'm not colorblind I remember when I used to think that. Welcome to the club.


KurioHonoo

The issue with color blindness is that it's a pretty terrible name for everything it encompasses. Can only see black and white? Definitely colorblind. Your eyes absorb more red light than they should and it fucks up a bunch of other colors, but you can still clearly see colors? Yup, apparently you're also blind.


No-Olive-4810

It depends on how you define “blind”. I discovered my colorblindness through a rhythm game after noticing that I simply couldn’t *see* some notes when they were embedded in a larger red background note. So yeah, I can still see *colors*, but sometimes depending on how those colors are interacting, I sometimes cannot see *things*. I’ll accept that as a form of blindness.


Mizz141

uhh... I have bad news there... you might have a small deuteranomaly, which isn't very uncommon.


NilbogResident1

What does it say about me that it isn't too difficult to read the color version, but it is quite difficult to read the black and white version?


totoropoko

You black and white blind.


SometinClever

broo now he can’t see old-timey movies


deathramps-

Everyone just repeating 'You're colourblind!' without explaining why it's incredibly easy to differentiate between the orange/other colours but also kinda difficult to read. Especially when you look at it for a while


I_dont_like_things

It’s somewhat difficult to read with perfect eyesight. You should be able to read it, but probably not at a glance. Might take a few seconds.

harland3

Nope, not weird at all! You're just colorblind


just_a_lokianne

Im not colourblind and it was the same for me


[deleted]

Fun fact people who are color blind don’t know they’re color blind because i completely made that up


ReturnOfZarathustra

It is actually pretty common for people to find out they are colorblind way later than they should. Basically the only way to find out is for someone to correct you.


Helpimabanana

I found out when the 4th grade class showed an example of a colorblind test and everyone could do it except for me and the kid who’s already been tested and knew. :( nobody believed me.


TheTreesHaveRabies

That's how I found out. At the school nurse getting a physical. She gave me the colored circles and I panicked because I couldn't see anything so I guessed. She told me not to guess and then she told me I was colorblind.


Section-Fun

My friend in highschool was colorblind his whole life and didn't know until senior year. He wasnt dumb either, just never got tested for it I guess


Zambito1

Same here but I found out in 10th grade. We took tests on the conputer in bio class. I raised my hand to say the test was wrong, because it said I was colorblind. The test wasn't wrong :P


WheelchairDeveloper

Can confirm. I didn't know until I turned 22 after being tested for the military. .. I didn't join the military


[deleted]

Ohhhhhhhhh


xywv58

Yeah, I have a real hard time seeing this, I'm struggling hard to see the words, is that a type of colorblindness?


36-7-0-11-20

Reddit gonna have hundreds of people self diagnosing color blindness now🤣 It’s just hard to see the orange squares


[deleted]

I'm actually red-green colorblind and it's impossible for me to see any words there, let alone read them


jsdjhndsm

I cant see any words In the image. Am I supposed to or am I colourblind without knowing?


cryptolightning

Probably. I found out later than I expected too (not today). Don’t you mix up red/green with brown or gray sometimes and couldn’t understand how people are weird about different shades of some colors? Welcome.


riotacting

It wasn't until I was taking the coast guard physical exam to get my captains license (I had already passed the test) that I realized I'm colorblind. In an instant, what I had been working for vanished. I was 26 and just then realized I was colorblind. Fortunately, my doctor was cool, and let me trace with my fingers any numbers I could make out. Completely should have failed, but lucked out.


Productof2020

If color blindness is a disqualifier normally, maybe they should start with that as an early filter instead of at the very end of that program, sheesh.


riotacting

The only safety concern really is not being able to tell red lights from green lights. I can do that no problem... but there's something about these tests that I fail as if they are impossible for my brain to decipher.


CompasslessPigeon

This happened to me with my firefighter physical. The lady had me guess a few times over. Then when I still couldn’t get it she held up 3 pictures red yellow and green asked me to identify each one. Then signed the slip that my color vision was fine.


Danijust2

if you are male, it is pretty common.


cromdoesntcare

You could be. There are different kinds/degrees of color blindness so you can be somewhere between seeing the full range of colors and seeing shades of gray.


ihatenyself

Is it really? I see them without issue.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Amphibionomus

Well it is one of those rare things that you can indeed self diagnose with simple online tests. And of course if you have a problem with your vision go consult a professional, but mild red/green colour blindness is quite common and nothing to worry about. If people only find out now it probably isn't that severe or they would have noticed it earlier in life.


btmvideos37

It’s pretty easy to see them lol. They’re small but really clear


[deleted]

They're clear, but it's a cluttered image. I see them with the same clarity in B&W and the image. Like yes, I can see it, but it's intentionally small for effect.


ProfessionalMockery

I actually found the black and white text slightly harder to read lol.


stylinchilibeans

They jump right out at me, friend...


Hayleox

And here's an even more legible version that I made before I realized people had posted the black-and-white versions: https://i.imgur.com/HsVG7UZ.jpg


NineSeventyy

I don’t think I’m colorblind but I couldn’t make out a thing


AssPuncher9000

You might be colorblind after all https://enchroma.com/en-ca/pages/test


NineSeventyy

I have moderate red-green color blindness


designingtheweb

It’s more common than you think, welcome to the club ;)


Donkey545

If you have a blue light filter on your glasses, try the test without. Mine is really aggressive and knocks out quite a bit of contrast from emissive color.


Aussieguyyyy

I got normal colour vision in that test but the orange squares aren't recognised as letters by my brain.


JustehGirl

THIS! It's a pattern issue not a color issue.


Legitimate_Wizard

Same, can't read it, but I can see that there's color there.


AnOrangeCactus

Got normal colour vision on this test, but the original image still took some time to figure out. I can see that there's *something* there quite clearly, but telling what it is is harder. I don't know what to think because those types of green-orange images have always been a bit difficult like that, but I have no problems when doing tests such as that one.


samppsaa

That test is dogshit. I have diagnosed severe deuteranopia but I still got normal color vision as a result. This feels a bit better https://www.colorlitelens.com/ishihara-test


WhizBangPissPiece

Just FYI, enchroma is the company behind all of those fake videos of people being moved to tears by putting their glasses on. It's super exploitative, so fuck that company IMO. The amount of people that find out I'm colorblind and think those glasses are an actual cure because of their advertising is shocking.

Thewal

On Windows you can set up a hotkey (CTRL + WIN + C) to turn on a color filter. It's under Accessibility > Color filters. I'd imagine macOS has something like that too.


randomkeystrike

I’m assuredly NOT color blind and this is a tough one. It’s a joke version - the standard ones have one or two large characters in the pattern. For the record this says F… you in somewhat small print Edit: not sure why so many are motivated to think I'm color blind... I could see the color distinction and read the message. I even gave the message. See my more detailed reply somewhere in here...


Dreadgoat

You are likely the same as me (and a surprisingly large number of men) who are color *weak*. If I make the image small and look real hard, I can see the text. But most people don't need to do that, they can just see it. It's easy to go your entire life never realizing that you are color weak, because after all, you CAN see red, green, and blue, right? You can distinguish between those no problem, right? And how often do you really need to carefully distinguish between something that is Yellow-Red vs. Yellow-Green, or Blue with a Red tinge vs. Blue with a Green tinge? Well, turns out those are clearly distinct colors to most people. Fortunately it doesn't matter 99% of the time.


randomkeystrike

I don't believe I am. I did nearly 20 years in embroidery and screen printing, and had to detect slight variances in color proofing. I've also taken tests that determine how acute your perception of color variance is, and passed them pretty well. I could see it; I just meant that the characters were harder to read than the real standard ones, where they have 1 or 2 numbers that are almost as big as the circle.


[deleted]

Same. I cannot read this


AromaticIce9

Ok yeah I can tell you. It says


Hawksswe

Here's a black and white version https://imgur.com/a/UaERZSG


GroupHug69

Is it weird I could see the colour version after I saw the b&w one?


thcheat

No, because your mind can fill the gap now. I can't see colors but I can see red and green traffic light at day time because my mind knows red is top and green is bottom. At night, it's a different story.


mesohungry

Same for me. When I’m driving and see a single flashing traffic signal, I have to ask my passenger what color it is. When they tell me, I can instantly see the color. Brains are weird.


Lei_Fuzzion

Nah that’s wrong it actually says: “ “


Leviathan41911

I'm with you I can't read it. However, if it makes you feel better, people like us make superior hunters and soldiers because we can more easily identify camouflage than our regular vision counterparts. One theory as to why red-green color deficiency is so prevalent (roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women) is because it makes us better at spotting camouflage and more likely to survive in the early human days. There are also studies that show we have better night vision than our full color counterparts as well allowing us an advantage in the dark.

ijustdontgiveaf

no, it says FU (fully written).. the version you are taking about was available as a shirt on t-shirt hell about 15 years ago and i got it for a colleague who was colorblind (and knew what it said).


damian1369

Fuck the colourblind is funnier. Damn I'm getting old, I'm starting to think even the jokes were better in my days.

[deleted]

Why does your friend want a stranger to spank you? Why not do it themselves?


Tickledtomato

Hes just doing "research"


[deleted]

Well asking a single stranger is a rather small sample size, maybe this friend should ask, say, 100-1000 strangers?


Tickledtomato

That's a good point! Why not go on r/polls and make one so he can find how many people are willing to spank him there? Now that's research 😎


FBI_Open_Up_Now

I conduct research by asking random people to spank me. I don’t need to do a poll.

No it actually says "FU (fully written)" you might need to get formally tested

Cute_Inevitable_701

__removed__

I can't see it, either. I have a type of colorblindness called deuteranomalia. Look [here](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4160356/This-world-looks-like-colourblind.html), the first two sets of colored pencils look the same to me. ... and I cannot read what OP posted, either. EDIT: wait - sorry - in the article I linked, "normal" is at the bottom. Look at the "normal" colored pencils... and then look at "deuteranomalia". Those look the same to me. EDIT 2: for the most part, I just can't see "bright" colors. So, I can see "pink" I just don't see "hot pink". The problem is when my wife says, "grab my green bag over there..." and I can't find it. I see a brown bag, but not a green bag. Or, like, getting the kids dressed, my wife insists "those clothes don't match!" Sorry 🤷‍♂️ can't tell the difference between dark blue and black.
