"I see people, not color" seems like an ideal world to me. Detractors say it's dangerous because it pushes people to turn a blind eye to obvious, glaring issues effecting a certain demographic more than others. But if you're a Socialist or something, you can still reduce wealth inequality between everyone without making race a factor. Black poor people are still poor people. Which means they would always be apart of the equation.
Everybody (including black people) ascribing cultural elements to their skin color is gate-keeping and backwards. Racist, even. In the Spider-Man:Miles Morales game, it ends with a black guy saying he's OUR Spider-Man which makes me cringe because it feels like the implication is black people can't look up to and admire white heroes or vice versa. It's really strange.
Help, I am a chef and my Sous is color-blind. Seems to be red/green. They know they're color-blind but I don't know if they understand the impact it has on their job.
I'm ND and I'm aware that I can come off as blunt, but I'm getting to a point where their inability to see if meat is to temp or if things are over-cooked is becoming an issue and I don't know how to address it. Like, they can't tell if toasted nuts are burnt or not. That's a stupid kind of big deal. I don't want to shame them, I just want want to find a solution.
It's not their fault, but it affects their ability to do certain essential parts of a job. In most ways they're an excellent co-worker. Please, no snark, I'm genuinely asking for help.
I am a female aged 21. I have never been diagnosed with colorblindness
I have noticed that I have always argued with people on colors my whole life, specifically colors described as “turquoise”, “reddish-pink”, “maroon” and basically any mix between two colors. Many times I tend to see these colors as one or the other. I also have noticed that people will describe something as “bright pink” or “bright orange” when it seems like a muted pink or orange to me.
I’m not sure what this is, could this be something that involves my brain only, or is is a type of color deficiency or color blindness
Thank you!
I just had a HUGE fight with my wife because I asked for the color correcting glasses for Christmas. She was confused why I would want them when I’ve gone my whole life not needing them and not seeming upset about being colorblind. Like I was wasting money on a. Frivolity because my life wasn’t bad and it wouldn’t significantly improve my life.
I’m moderate Protan. Red and green stoplights are very different. Purple is a just dark blue with good marketing.
I got LIVID and gobsmacked that I was being made to explain why I would want to fix my colorblindness or defend why I never talked about it being a big deal for decades. I was proud that I had accepted soemthing I couldn’t change.
Like I’m sure I’m describing this one sided and missing key context. She says that she was asking out of confusion and concern not attacking and that I overreacted.
But wtf. Seriously. What the hell. How hard is it to understand “yeah this thing isn’t dibikitating or making me miserable but I would like better color vision”
Hi allI am writing on behalf of my university group in Denmark, and we are asking for your assistance.We are working on an application, that will help those with CVDs have an easier time distinguishing colors in pictures.To do this we need help from as many people with different CVDs to answer the questionnaire at the bottom of this post. We also appreciate people taking the questionnaire, regardless whether or not, you have a CVD. Doing this will help us select how we develop our application further, to make it the most efficient and helpful it can possibly be.In addition my group and I, will donate 1 dollar per answer, up to 75, to Givingwhatwecan.org to help out where we can.
Here is the link to the questionnaire

We hope as many of you are willing to help us out, so that we can make our application the best it can be.
Regards, Group 305, AAU CPH Denmark
Hi, they are many color vision deficiency simulation software, but many are inaccurate or outdated for modern monitors, including very popular ones. The reality is that most methods were evaluated on very small groups of people with CVD (sometimes even just one person or none at all). And tritanopes are basically never included.
Of course no method will be perfectly accurate as color perception varies for each individual and depends on environmental factors (lighting, uncalibrated monitor, etc.), but still, my experience as a protan is that some are way more convincing than others.
So I've built a online simulator that compares the main methods (7 in total) and I'm hoping that we can collectively determine which one(s) are the most accurate. They have been carefully implemented by comparing the output with the reference algorithms, and adapting some of them to modern sRGB monitors.
This is the link to test the 7 simulators: https://daltonlens.org/colorblindness-simulator .
If you have a CVD (especially if it's strong), here is how you can help provide feedback:
- Try the various methods. If you select your CVD, and if the method were prefect, you would not see any difference between the original image and the simulated image. If you have a strong deficiency (dichromat), then the more differences you see with the original, the less accurate the simulator is for your CVD. You can toggle between the simulated and the original image quickly by just clicking on the image.
- If you have a weaker severity then you can still help by adjusting the severity slider. The differences should decrease quickly for the best method, without having to turn the severity very low.
- Try several images, in particular the predefined "RGB Grid" and the "Color Line Plot". It is expected that more differences will be observed on large uniform areas than on thin lines, because deficiencies are weaker on larger regions.
- Post your feedback in this thread. Any method that looks pretty accurate, at least on the Color Line Plot image? Any method that looks clearly wrong? Please also share your CVD type and severity and how confident you are in it (test with an eye doctor? Some online tests?).
Let's see if we can collect enough data for this to be significant and push developers to use the best simulators when they design color blind friendly tools. If you're curious about the methods and their history I

My buddy wants to play this game with me, but a lot of areas like the Weald, Ice, Dense Biozone, and Fungus bogs are just kind of nightmares for him to see in. He's been toughing it out anyway, but it's obvious a lot of zones in this game are just not fun for him with how blue/green they are everywhere.
Any suggestions welcome.
EnChroma’s recent study shows that color blind children face obstacles in their education related to color identification, and one in five respondents didn’t learn they were color blind until after high school.
One in 12 male (8%) and one in 200 female (.5%) students are color blind, and 40% of color blind students avoid schoolwork and activities that involve color. You can read more about the results here: https://enchroma.com/pages/study-finds-overwhelming-evidence-that-color-blindness-hinders-learning-in-school
I want to be a commercial pilot but I have color blindness, it is not very high, I can distinguish the colors clearly and I do not think that it will be an impediment to carry out any work, does anyone know if it would be an impediment at the time of medical examinations or to enter any airline / school
After lots of years I've realized my son probably misses out on the designs and effect of my multicolored scrap quilts. He not only cannot see the difference between red and green, but aquas and peach colors look the same. His first grade teacher flunked him on the "color the grapes purple" test because he colored them peacock blue. I watched the Just Get it Done video with a color deficient quilter which was quite helpful, so am thinking about monochromatic dark blue/light blue/white, or blues and yellow orange. I could also use help with a modern design quilt that would lend itself to this.
Or none of us is really colour blind, we both have different definition for brown and green colour range
For racist reason in saint-domingue they created a pletora of name to describe african descent :
7/8 - Sacatra
3/4 - Griffe/Capre
1/2 - Mulatoo
1/4 - Quarteron
honeslty im really happy to put a name on who i am i always tried to identify as i black but i have 25% of north african/turkish blood n i can't simply erase dat part of me, so to embrace who i am fully i would rather say dat im capre or griffe n if i have kids i told em dat they sacatra
Don't get me wrong the reason why they created these classifications make me unconfortable but in a same type i dont have better words to describe myself, mixedrace is sooo vague
im mixed race but i don't look like an asian/indian guy, but i look like everyone who identify as capre or griffre
Edit : If u have better words than mulatto capre or quarteroon i will take it bc i dont have this words in my heart but don't tell "just call urself mixed bro" dats cringe
