All colorblind people can tell blue and red apart. Actually, the most popular type of colorblind is red-green colorblind ( or whatever you’re supposed to call it ), and they can see blue very clearly.

I have deuteranomaly and none of my friends knew except for one time I slipped up and coloured Santa’s hat”green” when I was in middle school. They found out 6 years after being my best friends haha
i have tritanomaly too and it’s really hard to explain it to people because since it’s really rare, there is a really small information about it on internet and they don’t say the same thing. like, every explanation is different.. and i don’t have much problem telling the colors except turquoise-green and pastel yellow-white so people really thinks i’m lying sometimes,,,
I recently took a colorblind test and passed with flying colors, no pun intended. However while playing video games with my friends I noticed they would call orange colors brown, or red would be brown for them. I made mention to them that they might actually be color blind. Sure enough I found out quite a few of my male friends are color blind. I have been on a bit of a kick to understand it a lot more lately.
@@l.s.s.8-8-16 well if we should treat everyone as equals and treat noone different, then I would ask someone with a speech problem to recite a tounge twister. Just like I would ask a armless person if they could give me a hand. Its not being mean its being "inclusive".
@@dano8613 it's a question of intent. Asking someone to "give you a hand"is an expression that means, "Can you help me?". It's like saying, "Do you see what I mean" to a blind person. However, If you ask someone to do something that you KNOW the other person can't do, and set them up for failure on purpose, it's totally inconsiderate. A person with a speech impediment should be helped by a speech therapist... Not someone who just wants to force them to adapt
Ok... Whenever he said peanut butter isn’t green, I turned to my family in the car and said, “WAIT! Peanut butter isn’t green.” And they looked at me like a crazy person. Im a strong protan colorblind.
@@monkeeboii6636 it looks bright brown, for us guacamole is green, so it might be brown for you. the bread is also brown too :) Try to imagine a chocolatey color
As a colorblind person i have tried these glasses that let you see color. It actually was pretty scary at first not recognizing anything. The few colors that i did recognize was green, gray, black, and blue. Everything else i was seeing i could not identify unless i took the glasses off. Switching a game or a computer to colorblind mode just throws everything off too. I would have to start from birth wearing these glasses to be able to relearn color i suspect. I have really never seen color blindness as a problem for me before the day i tried on the glasses.
Story of my life. My mother didn’t believe me when I was growing up, because I could identify some colors. It wasn’t until I failed the color vision test when I was processing for the air force.
People who think that you're faking colour blindness for attention are stupid, if someone was to fake a disability for attention they would fake something more visible
Genuine sympathy for your disappointment. My other half had the same disappointment and it still stings 30-odd years later. I hope you found a good career doing something else.
i legit flipped out when he said that penutbutter wasnt green ,i even went and asked my sister and a couple of ppl till i could confirm it......my whole life has been a lie
I met one friend who I discovered was color blind, and it made so many things make sense. I always wondered why she almost always wore black and white clothing...she said it was just easier. She also had a hard time explaining it, because since she’s always viewed colors this way, to her, it’s not a problem. It’s other people who always had a problem. It was hard to wrap my brain around...and, yes, I did ask her to demonstrate by showing me two different shades of red or green that looked like some other color (or that looked the same to her). When I used to see those picture tests with the bubbles with letters on the inside in different shades, as a kid, I was sure nobody really got that wrong, that they must be faking it. Live and learn. I can see why it would be terribly insulting to ask someone if they’re lying. What could they possibly gain?? It’s not like it earns them extra money or even positive attention. It just...is.
I'm colored blind and it doesn't bother me at all. I'm not sure if I had a choice if I would change a thing. I love what I see and I think the world is beautiful the way I see it. I'm sure what I see isn't the same as other people who are colored blind and that makes it even more unique. I did enjoy this video though. Very informative.
This is by far the best explanation of color blindness I have come across. It also made me think, does it work the other way too? Are there people that have the red and green spectrum more separated and hence see more hues?
Nah you'd still see less because there would be points at which the wavelengths didn't overlap. This would mean the cones couldn't cross reference and you'd see grey instead.
2:48 This reminds me of how a friend of mine made me realise how colourblindness works. He said he knew that grass was green, because it was the same colour as chocolate. This friend of mine also complained that the movie Bright were portraying the orcs as being pink.
I have deuteranomaly and I never felt so connected to a RUclips video before. I too found out I couldn't enter a career because of colourblindness. And you are 100% right about people always asking you to name colours. One of the things that people with normal colour vision don't get is that colourblind people don't have confidence or certainty about colours in the same way. It's not that I'm certain that tigers are green, it's just that I don't really think about colours because a lot of them look similar, and if you asked me "What colour is a tiger?" I'd have to come up with an answer by thinking what it looks similar to.
Thank you, I’ve always wondered how my brother saw the world. I just can’t imagine not seeing all the wonderful colours of the world. Thank you explaining.
I saw that number as 21, I'm shocked, my wife and I have argued over shades of color for yrs but I said I painted cars for years I should know, but paint is mixed by a formula not by eye sight. Not worth getting these glasses, but I guess she was right all this years. I'm not going to tell her that of course.
Oh my god I am so in love with this video! Whenever I tell people that I am color blind they always ask those super angering questions and it’s just so irritating! I have sent this video to nearly all my friends who have asked those questions and now it might actually make sense to them!
My boyfriend is color blind. Since he was born, he has seen the world just in shades of black and white. Like an old movie (as he always says) However, every time I ask him if he would like to see the world in colours, he just says: I've never seen a single colour, so I don't think there's something missing in my life. You can't miss something you never knew. It's somehow cute, because every time we go shopping and he buys some clothes, I help him with the colours. The same happens when he plays videogames that involve identify colours, I try to name them, so he can finish the stages without problems. Sometimes he feels curiosity about how would be his life in colours and I wish he could see them. I mean, not for me, but for him! I love him the way he is and I don't think colours would influence the way we love each other. ❤
Nexx Nexx eeeeh because he has been told about colours in our culture. For instance, he knows the grass is green and the sky is blue just because he was educated that way when he was a kid. Otherwise, he wouldn't know it. The same with the "old movies", as he was told they used to be played without any colours, he use them to make a comparison with his own view of the world, especially when he has to explain to people his condition.
Both me and my grandfather are colour blind and he was a pilot. I recently asked him how he is a pilot and he told me that he wasn't diagnosed till he was 31. He was already a pilot so he just never told anyone that he is colour blind.
This was my dad. He joined the air force and then in his 20s was dealing with some wires when his mate said to pick the red one and he picked the wrong color. He had no idea. He was honorably discharged. He had been guessing his whole life.
I used to be an autobody painter. During school for painting we got to play around with the color wheel and had to piece it together based on hue and chroma. I found that I am slightly colorblind in the green spectrum. To me I cant determine the subtle differences in the different shades or when green moved more blue or yellow. I can see green just fine but not the different shades. When I was painting I usually needed help from another painter to make sure I had the correct match of the car's color when it was green. Funny thing was the painter that usually helped me has the same problem with reds, which I can see very well, so I assisted him with red and him with my greens.
From what I've learnt, not two people have the same perception of colours, women tend to better differentiate shades of red (this is hypothesised to be an evolutionary trait to determine if a fruit or berry what ripe), and different languages do not have the same number of words to differentiate colours. So, in a way, we are all colour-blind to some degree. Interesting videos about colours: ruclips.net/video/gMqZR3pqMjg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/evQsOFQju08/видео.html
When my dad got them, he cried at the sunset. And then we all cried. he was like, 50 something. We talked about all the colors we saw. Then he turned to me and said “now I understand why you paint your room lavender. It’s beautiful”
I was born with achromatopsia which one of the symptoms is monochromacy. The only time I really hated being completely colorblind was when my art professor decided it would be a great idea to put me into a color theory class even tho I told him I couldn’t see colors. He just told me “oh we will just work with you on that.. it’s alright!” . . . . . . Bitch work with what?!
I really wanted to be an air force pilot, until one night when I was 14 i woke up during the night realizing "wait I can't". That made me sad for days.
For you it's fun, it's annoying to be asked the same questions over and over. And answering 75% correct and they say, "your not colorblind." It's just annoying.
@@daviddoar2062 you know what? I totally agree.I'm a left handed person and whenever people know I'm left handed, they ask me annoying questions like "why are you left handed?" "Can you write with your right hand?" " *gasp* YOUR LEFT HANDED?!" like bruh chill I'm a normal human being,not some kind alien from another planet.
Nice video. I hope you have a better experience with Enchroma than I did. I also have protanomaly and the glasses barely change anything. Mainly I notice that oranges look more red and the color salmon looks more like plain pink. The green traffic lights actually look green. Other than that, nothing changes and I can't tell the difference between any colors better. I let my co-worker try them on who has deuteranomaly and he was blown away at everything. It was cool to see, but also disappointing.
:( This is so annoying that there is no way to know if the glasses will work before buying them, i don't live in the US so the refund policy is problematic for me... However i really want to see how it looks like to be with normal trichromatic vision and then compare those two.
Send me the money and I can buy them for you and send them to you. Then, if they don't work out, you can send them back and I'll return them and get the refund, and send the money back to you. Haha, that sounds shady as hell and no one in their right mind would take that deal, and it sucks because I know I'd never screw someone over like that. Maybe if you have someone in the US you can trust you can do something like that. I'm just hoping they come out with ones designed specifically for protanomaly.
Okay this is right, when your colour blind you still see colour. Many people get this wrong, I am colour blind and mainly to the colour green. I get these questions all the time and to be frank it’s just annoying. I’m happy to see someone educating people about stuff they tend to speak out about, although they do not understand. Keep up the great work, u just gained a sub.👍
Judging from years of tests and self-diagnoses, I have Dueteranopia, and Protanomoly. Color blind filters on games and my phone never work. Because when I use one for D, it makes P worse, and vice versa. I sometimes use the Trita-nomoly/nopia setting just to see super vibrant blue, because it's my favorite color.
Thank you, for explaining color blindness. I’m extremely empathetic to the handicap & have enjoyed seeing people put on the corrective glasses, so very much. Please do post your experience of getting your glasses.
And then there's also some people with four types of color cells. Apparently they can distinguish between a wide range of yellow shades that to average people all look the same.
I’m a deutan but I also mix up blues and purples. The worst part about my colour blindness (other than annoying people asking stupid questions) is telling what colour a traffic light is. I have to almost entirely base it on position but since I see less variety of shades, I sometimes can’t even tell if it is lit or unlit. Because of this, I usually only drive when it’s dark or else I may miss a light on accident.
Thank you I’m literally in tears. I finally understand how someone I love sees. I been dying to understand and all these other videos with color blindness examples don’t translate as good as yours. You’re video was extremely informative and I encouraged you to do more. Now a subscriber, thank you!
I just noticed my mind just gave up on identifying the colour of certain things, like peanut butter I just don't know what colour it is, probably green, brown, orange, or a mix of them. It's really frustrating though... fuck peanut butter 😡
The best explanation of colour vision deficiency I have come across in my life. Thank you for the very authoritative and informative explanation. As a person with normal colour vision, I have struggled to understand what this condition is really all about.
My best friend is colorblind as a stone and he told me that he can see colors but they are very different. He said the colors are darker and a little bit shaded grey. Not just black and white. Luckily I was the one who made him cry by giving him the glasses, on his birthday. He cried and they came with balloons. I didnt film it because I wanted to savor it in the moment. We were only 11 when I gave it to him, and now we are 15, and they grew out of him, guess what I got for him on his 15th birthday. They are extremely expensive (glasses) but for my friend to be happy, I would do anything.
Had a friend with colour vision impairment when I was in high school, so easy to forget someone is colour blind until they asked you to help them identify the correct colour when they are selecting something.
My Dad is color blind. He didn't learn he was until he entered the air force at age 21. As you said, teachers just assumed he was stupid. I'm not color blind and none of my brothers are. However, my son is (my daughter is not). I realized my son was color blind around 3 1/2 years of age. Up until then I had my suspicions but wasn't sure if he was just still learning his color names or actually not seeing them correctly. But I was suspicious because he kept commonly confusing colors that I would always see my Dad confuse when I was growing up. Then one day he showed me a picture he colored. It was a whole lot of red and yellow but he and said it was brown and yellow. That's when I drew 6 circles, three in brown and three in red. He said they were all the same. We did one of those online color blind tests (the dots with the numbers just like you showed) and the results were protan colorblindness which I had already assumed because that's what my Dad is. We got him the glasses but he doesn't wear them all the time. For anyone curious the common color mix-ups for him (aka they look the same) are: Bright green and yellow Brown and red Green and Orange Brown and dark green, olive greens, (earth tone greens) Purple and blue Dark purple and dark blue =black

I have deutanomaly, and I was colouring in the Kenyan flag in Year 1 and coloured the red part brown. The teacher told me off and I thought I was just being stupid. Then, in Year 4, my friend pointed out that a plant in the flowerbed outside my school was blue, whereas I saw it as purple for my whole time being there. In Year 8 my biology teacher was going over the eye with the retina and cone cells. He showed a picture which had a 5 in it, but I saw 2. I told my friend, who has tritanomaly, if he saw anything, and he did so I thought I was fine. Then when I got home I was curious so I took a colourblind test and it came back with Deutan type. I was so shocked and I now realise why I was getting so confused with the colours green, red and brown (and even purple, pink and blue to an extent). I'm not getting glasses as I feel like I can cope and the lanterns on traffic lights I know.
That’s a great explanation and visuals of what it looks like being colour blind - thanks for sharing. That is so sad for some people - no wonder they were in awe and crying with the glasses on.
I recall drawing a sun with lime color and getting yelled at in school. I also couldn't discern lime from yellow at physics in university and thought there were two yellow spectral lines. And once I mistook orange cable for a green one. I wonder how many times I've mistook the color of things unknowingly.
When I was 11 I found out I had deuteranopia. I don't know anything different though, I get mixed up with pink&grey, blue&purple and red&green. And sometimes yellow&green.
My brother has mild protanopia, and ive definitely talked to/asked him about it, he also asks me questions about what certain colours are when he's creating a character in a video game or something. I find colourblindness very interesting
This is a very interesting video. I've known for a long time colorblind people don't just not see colors, but a lot of this information is new to me. Thank you for sharing.
My 6th grade English teacher was colour blind, but none of us actually knew that until he told us half way through the year. That's mainly why I find colour blindness so interesting.
As someone with achromatopsia, I find having to explain that I’m completely color blind, rather than me having a color deficiency, is far more annoying than the people who say “what color is this”. I can just respond with “I don’t know”
Having spent my whole life with severe protan color deficiency I can say that the money I finally spent on a pair of high quality lenses has been a life changer. At 60 years of age I finally discovered that the world around me is just full of reds that I never knew existed. I thought that I just had a hard time telling green from brown. The reds were the key to it all for me. Those hokey videos of people seeing the world in color and breaking down over the experience are not fake. I can tell you from my own experience. I cried like a baby.
Do you see all colours with them on? or any new colours? e.g. when you look at a colour spectrum it goes red yellow green blue... and colour blind people see green yellow green... does it become a correct spectrum?
This is very true. People are almost always weirdly fascinated when they find out I'm color blind, test me, then try to convince me I'm not bc I answered all their questions correctly. But the funniest situation was when my mom recently tested me (she's an eye doctor, but I haven't been officially tested since I was a kid) and started cracking up by how colorblind I am as I failed every color test. It's something that only occasionally affects my life and it's in specific situations.
Crazelord91 Which one? My mom cracked also and called me "colordumb", yeah it was a joke because I am clumsy and her knowing I am colorblind made her wheeze even more.
As an artist, this is fascinating. I don’t know what I would do if I was colorblind 😬 Just looking at those colorblind examples next to the normal vision gives me anxiety
Wouldn't affect anything as long as you are passionate enough! I know this as I have colour blindness and motor skill disabilities and yet I make animations in my free time.
Sane here same age it's been terribly hard to do certain things and I hid it for many years just trying to memorize the colours on objects that people would say, as scared when younger that people would not understand !!
Worse parenting moment of my life was torturing my 3yr old to organise her crayons. I was so frustrated with her I asked her father to help. When I returned and saw he did an even worse job. I cried. I felt so ashamed. I didn't know my husband and daughter were color blind.
allasar, well yes and no, the shade of brown is a rather nuetral color with both good and bad connotations, name something green that most people actually enjoy, most people eat salads, but we all put dressing, and tomatoes, and occasionally chicken in with it, because lettuce is bland and tasteless. For me, light brown is the color of cookies and dark chocolate reminds me of chocolate milk.
This speaks a lot to the insane adaptive power of the brain. The brain is missing or can't distinguish an input and so without you ever having to consciously think about it picks up on all the situational clues and just stores them with the data for recall later. I had no idea of the genetics behind it, that was pretty cool.
Everybody’s spectral shift is different, which means everyone’s colour blindness is different. Some anomalous trichromats have L & M cones that perfectly overlap, essentially making them dichromats.

I have Tritanomaly and honestly no one has ever bothered to explain it or how i have it so thank you
I have deuteranomaly and none of my friends knew except for one time I slipped up and coloured Santa’s hat”green” when I was in middle school. They found out 6 years after being my best friends haha
Same. There’s so little information out there on the internet about it.
Maybe due to birth?
i have tritanomaly too and it’s really hard to explain it to people because since it’s really rare, there is a really small information about it on internet and they don’t say the same thing. like, every explanation is different.. and i don’t have much problem telling the colors except turquoise-green and pastel yellow-white
so people really thinks i’m lying sometimes,,,
Very different for me... I have deuteranomaly, and people ALWAYS ask me

I recently took a colorblind test and passed with flying colors, no pun intended. However while playing video games with my friends I noticed they would call orange colors brown, or red would be brown for them. I made mention to them that they might actually be color blind. Sure enough I found out quite a few of my male friends are color blind. I have been on a bit of a kick to understand it a lot more lately.
You color blind???
"You wouldn't ask someone with a speach impediment to try a toung twister." I'm so sorry to have to tell you this but they absolutely do.
Dead asf
Some people are ignorant,some are curious, some are simply heartless.
My sister has one and when that part was said I immediately had flashbacks of countless times they make her say certain words xD
@@l.s.s.8-8-16 well if we should treat everyone as equals and treat noone different, then I would ask someone with a speech problem to recite a tounge twister. Just like I would ask a armless person if they could give me a hand. Its not being mean its being "inclusive".
@@dano8613 it's a question of intent. Asking someone to "give you a hand"is an expression that means, "Can you help me?". It's like saying, "Do you see what I mean" to a blind person. However, If you ask someone to do something that you KNOW the other person can't do, and set them up for failure on purpose, it's totally inconsiderate. A person with a speech impediment should be helped by a speech therapist... Not someone who just wants to force them to adapt

As a colorblind person i have tried these glasses that let you see color. It actually was pretty scary at first not recognizing anything. The few colors that i did recognize was green, gray, black, and blue. Everything else i was seeing i could not identify unless i took the glasses off. Switching a game or a computer to colorblind mode just throws everything off too. I would have to start from birth wearing these glasses to be able to relearn color i suspect. I have really never seen color blindness as a problem for me before the day i tried on the glasses.
So you can see red now with the glasses?
Story of my life. My mother didn’t believe me when I was growing up, because I could identify some colors. It wasn’t until I failed the color vision test when I was processing for the air force.
Omay ghaddd
Sorry for you
People who think that you're faking colour blindness for attention are stupid, if someone was to fake a disability for attention they would fake something more visible
That’s horrible. I’m so sorry. I would always listen to my child if they had a problem
Genuine sympathy for your disappointment. My other half had the same disappointment and it still stings 30-odd years later. I hope you found a good career doing something else.

I met one friend who I discovered was color blind, and it made so many things make sense. I always wondered why she almost always wore black and white clothing...she said it was just easier. She also had a hard time explaining it, because since she’s always viewed colors this way, to her, it’s not a problem. It’s other people who always had a problem. It was hard to wrap my brain around...and, yes, I did ask her to demonstrate by showing me two different shades of red or green that looked like some other color (or that looked the same to her). When I used to see those picture tests with the bubbles with letters on the inside in different shades, as a kid, I was sure nobody really got that wrong, that they must be faking it. Live and learn. I can see why it would be terribly insulting to ask someone if they’re lying. What could they possibly gain?? It’s not like it earns them extra money or even positive attention. It just...is.

I'm colored blind and it doesn't bother me at all. I'm not sure if I had a choice if I would change a thing. I love what I see and I think the world is beautiful the way I see it. I'm sure what I see isn't the same as other people who are colored blind and that makes it even more unique. I did enjoy this video though. Very informative.
This is by far the best explanation of color blindness I have come across. It also made me think, does it work the other way too? Are there people that have the red and green spectrum more separated and hence see more hues?
Nah you'd still see less because there would be points at which the wavelengths didn't overlap. This would mean the cones couldn't cross reference and you'd see grey instead.

2:48 This reminds me of how a friend of mine made me realise how colourblindness works.
He said he knew that grass was green, because it was the same colour as chocolate.
This friend of mine also complained that the movie Bright were portraying the orcs as being pink.
I have deuteranomaly and I never felt so connected to a RUclips video before. I too found out I couldn't enter a career because of colourblindness. And you are 100% right about people always asking you to name colours. One of the things that people with normal colour vision don't get is that colourblind people don't have confidence or certainty about colours in the same way. It's not that I'm certain that tigers are green, it's just that I don't really think about colours because a lot of them look similar, and if you asked me "What colour is a tiger?" I'd have to come up with an answer by thinking what it looks similar to.
Thank you, I’ve always wondered how my brother saw the world. I just can’t imagine not seeing all the wonderful colours of the world. Thank you explaining.
I saw that number as 21, I'm shocked, my wife and I have argued over shades of color for yrs but I said I painted cars for years I should know, but paint is mixed by a formula not by eye sight. Not worth getting these glasses, but I guess she was right all this years. I'm not going to tell her that of course.
You should.

Oh my god I am so in love with this video! Whenever I tell people that I am color blind they always ask those super angering questions and it’s just so irritating! I have sent this video to nearly all my friends who have asked those questions and now it might actually make sense to them!
My boyfriend is color blind. Since he was born, he has seen the world just in shades of black and white. Like an old movie (as he always says)
However, every time I ask him if he would like to see the world in colours, he just says: I've never seen a single colour, so I don't think there's something missing in my life. You can't miss something you never knew.
It's somehow cute, because every time we go shopping and he buys some clothes, I help him with the colours. The same happens when he plays videogames that involve identify colours, I try to name them, so he can finish the stages without problems.
Sometimes he feels curiosity about how would be his life in colours and I wish he could see them. I mean, not for me, but for him! I love him the way he is and I don't think colours would influence the way we love each other. ❤
how does he know the difference between old movies and new movies, they should look basically the same to him, at leats colour wise
he probably describes it like that and just thinks and hopes he is correct because there is no way of actually knowing
Nexx Nexx eeeeh because he has been told about colours in our culture. For instance, he knows the grass is green and the sky is blue just because he was educated that way when he was a kid. Otherwise, he wouldn't know it. The same with the "old movies", as he was told they used to be played without any colours, he use them to make a comparison with his own view of the world, especially when he has to explain to people his condition.
Nicolas Felix why don't you buy him those glasses for colorblind people
Black Ace they don’t work for monochromatic colourblindness.
Both me and my grandfather are colour blind and he was a pilot. I recently asked him how he is a pilot and he told me that he wasn't diagnosed till he was 31. He was already a pilot so he just never told anyone that he is colour blind.
This was my dad. He joined the air force and then in his 20s was dealing with some wires when his mate said to pick the red one and he picked the wrong color. He had no idea. He was honorably discharged. He had been guessing his whole life.
just looks like autumn all the time
I used to be an autobody painter. During school for painting we got to play around with the color wheel and had to piece it together based on hue and chroma. I found that I am slightly colorblind in the green spectrum. To me I cant determine the subtle differences in the different shades or when green moved more blue or yellow. I can see green just fine but not the different shades.
When I was painting I usually needed help from another painter to make sure I had the correct match of the car's color when it was green. Funny thing was the painter that usually helped me has the same problem with reds, which I can see very well, so I assisted him with red and him with my greens.
Mario and Luigi dream team there?
That is a really great story.
From what I've learnt, not two people have the same perception of colours, women tend to better differentiate shades of red (this is hypothesised to be an evolutionary trait to determine if a fruit or berry what ripe), and different languages do not have the same number of words to differentiate colours.
So, in a way, we are all colour-blind to some degree.

When my dad got them, he cried at the sunset. And then we all cried. he was like, 50 something. We talked about all the colors we saw. Then he turned to me and said “now I understand why you paint your room lavender. It’s beautiful”
I was born with achromatopsia which one of the symptoms is monochromacy. The only time I really hated being completely colorblind was when my art professor decided it would be a great idea to put me into a color theory class even tho I told him I couldn’t see colors. He just told me “oh we will just work with you on that.. it’s alright!”

Nice video. I hope you have a better experience with Enchroma than I did. I also have protanomaly and the glasses barely change anything. Mainly I notice that oranges look more red and the color salmon looks more like plain pink. The green traffic lights actually look green. Other than that, nothing changes and I can't tell the difference between any colors better. I let my co-worker try them on who has deuteranomaly and he was blown away at everything. It was cool to see, but also disappointing.
I also have protanomaly mild to moderate severety. What is your severity?
Mild, a couple times moderate, according to the test on Enchroma's site.
:( This is so annoying that there is no way to know if the glasses will work before buying them, i don't live in the US so the refund policy is problematic for me... However i really want to see how it looks like to be with normal trichromatic vision and then compare those two.
Send me the money and I can buy them for you and send them to you. Then, if they don't work out, you can send them back and I'll return them and get the refund, and send the money back to you. Haha, that sounds shady as hell and no one in their right mind would take that deal, and it sucks because I know I'd never screw someone over like that. Maybe if you have someone in the US you can trust you can do something like that. I'm just hoping they come out with ones designed specifically for protanomaly.

Judging from years of tests and self-diagnoses, I have Dueteranopia, and Protanomoly. Color blind filters on games and my phone never work.

I’m a deutan but I also mix up blues and purples. The worst part about my colour blindness (other than annoying people asking stupid questions) is telling what colour a traffic light is. I have to almost entirely base it on position but since I see less variety of shades, I sometimes can’t even tell if it is lit or unlit. Because of this, I usually only drive when it’s dark or else I may miss a light on accident.

My best friend is colorblind as a stone and he told me that he can see colors but they are very different. He said the colors are darker and a little bit shaded grey. Not just black and white. Luckily I was the one who made him cry by giving him the glasses, on his birthday. He cried and they came with balloons. I didnt film it because I wanted to savor it in the moment. We were only 11 when I gave it to him, and now we are 15, and they grew out of him, guess what I got for him on his 15th birthday. They are extremely expensive (glasses) but for my friend to be happy, I would do anything.
Had a friend with colour vision impairment when I was in high school, so easy to forget someone is colour blind until they asked you to help them identify the correct colour when they are selecting something.

My Dad is color blind. He didn't learn he was until he entered the air force at age 21. As you said, teachers just assumed he was stupid. I'm not color blind and none of my brothers are. However, my son is (my daughter is not). I realized my son was color blind around 3 1/2 years of age. Up until then I had my suspicions but wasn't sure if he was just still learning his color names or actually not seeing them correctly. But I was suspicious because he kept commonly confusing colors that I would always see my Dad confuse when I was growing up. Then one day he showed me a picture he colored. It was a whole lot of red and yellow but he and said it was brown and yellow. That's when I drew 6 circles, three in brown and three in red. He said they were all the same.
We did one of those online color blind tests (the dots with the numbers just like you showed) and the results were protan colorblindness which I had already assumed because that's what my Dad is. We got him the glasses but he doesn't wear them all the time. For anyone curious the common color mix-ups for him (aka they look the same) are:
Bright green and yellow
Brown and red
Green and Orange
Brown and dark green, olive greens, (earth tone greens)
Purple and blue
Dark purple and dark blue =black

I have deutanomaly, and I was colouring in the Kenyan flag in Year 1 and coloured the red part brown. The teacher told me off and I thought I was just being stupid. Then, in Year 4, my friend pointed out that a plant in the flowerbed outside my school was blue, whereas I saw it as purple for my whole time being there. In Year 8 my biology teacher was going over the eye with the retina and cone cells. He showed a picture which had a 5 in it, but I saw 2. I told my friend, who has tritanomaly, if he saw anything, and he did so I thought I was fine. Then when I got home I was curious so I took a colourblind test and it came back with Deutan type. I was so shocked and I now realise why I was getting so confused with the colours green, red and brown (and even purple, pink and blue to an extent). I'm not getting glasses as I feel like I can cope and the lanterns on traffic lights I know.

I recall drawing a sun with lime color and getting yelled at in school. I also couldn't discern lime from yellow at physics in university and thought there were two yellow spectral lines. And once I mistook orange cable for a green one. I wonder how many times I've mistook the color of things unknowingly.
When I was 11 I found out I had deuteranopia. I don't know anything different though, I get mixed up with pink&grey, blue&purple and red&green. And sometimes yellow&green.
My brother has mild protanopia, and ive definitely talked to/asked him about it, he also asks me questions about what certain colours are when he's creating a character in a video game or something.

Now I know what “color blindness” actually means. Thank you🙏
As someone with achromatopsia, I find having to explain that I’m completely color blind, rather than me having a color deficiency, is far more annoying than the people who say “what color is this”. I can just respond with “I don’t know”
In the thumbnail, the color blind version of reality looks pretty beautiful!
I never knew color deficiency was hereditary. Great video!
Great video dude! Really well explained and entertaining!
Having spent my whole life with severe protan color deficiency I can say that the money I finally spent on a pair of high quality lenses has been a life changer. At 60 years of age I finally discovered that the world around me is just full of reds that I never knew existed. I thought that I just had a hard time telling green from brown. The reds were the key to it all for me. Those hokey videos of people seeing the world in color and breaking down over the experience are not fake. I can tell you from my own experience. I cried like a baby.
Do you see all colours with them on? or any new colours? e.g. when you look at a colour spectrum it goes red yellow green blue... and colour blind people see green yellow green... does it become a correct spectrum?
LOL the captions *baby screaming in the background* MADE IT SO MUCH BETTER
This is very true. People are almost always weirdly fascinated when they find out I'm color blind, test me, then try to convince me I'm not bc I answered all their questions correctly.
But the funniest situation was when my mom recently tested me (she's an eye doctor, but I haven't been officially tested since I was a kid) and started cracking up by how colorblind I am as I failed every color test.
It's something that only occasionally affects my life and it's in specific situations.
Crazelord91 Which one? My mom cracked also and called me "colordumb", yeah it was a joke because I am clumsy and her knowing I am colorblind made her wheeze even more.
Me, looking at the thumbnail without reading the title yet:
*wait*
*Blind people can see?*
As an artist, this is fascinating. I don’t know what I would do if I was colorblind 😬 Just looking at those colorblind examples next to the normal vision gives me anxiety
Wouldn't affect anything as long as you are passionate enough!
I know this as I have colour blindness and motor skill disabilities and yet I make animations in my free time.
After 53 years of colour blindness I now understand it. A wonderful video my friend, truly eye opening for me. Thank you !

Worse parenting moment of my life was torturing my 3yr old to organise her crayons. I was so frustrated with her I asked her father to help. When I returned and saw he did an even worse job. I cried. I felt so ashamed. I didn't know my husband and daughter were color blind.
Green peanut butter, WTF
This one got me too lol
allasar, well yes and no, the shade of brown is a rather nuetral color with both good and bad connotations, name something green that most people actually enjoy, most people eat salads, but we all put dressing, and tomatoes, and occasionally chicken in with it, because lettuce is bland and tasteless. For me, light brown is the color of cookies and dark chocolate reminds me of chocolate milk.
Wait a minute, you're saying PEANUT BUTTER IS BROWN?! crap
Green stuff is good for you, so it's a win right
I laughed really hard at that because I remember when I was first told that I was bonkers for saying peanut butter was green.
This speaks a lot to the insane adaptive power of the brain. The brain is missing or can't distinguish an input and so without you ever having to consciously think about it picks up on all the situational clues and just stores them with the data for recall later. I had no idea of the genetics behind it, that was pretty cool.
THAT was informative. Your explanations and examples are perfect. If only other RUclipsrs were so worthy ...
