I'm pretty sure you can still fly a plane even in black and white. WW2 pilots did. /s

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

I’ve seen ww2 videos. Everything was in black and white anyways..

Wiley Post flew with one eye, even.

Though, he did die in a plane crash in a plane he was piloting, taking Will Rogers out with him.

Ohh I get it, they're both wrong because there is actually no number visible!

I just see a bunch of green and orange dots, with a small amount of tea colored dots. I don't know what the alphanumeric scale is, I do all of my math with my fingers

Reminds me of that one post where op discovered he was colourblind when he sorted characters by colour and it being obviously wrong.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

I had a moment where I believed I was colorblind because I was toying around with iOS accessibility settings and one of the colour filters looked exactly the same enabled as disabled when I tested it. Good times.

Not colorblind.

Can I just tell you how much I hate those Ishihara tests? I don't see shit in that OP one (which was exactly what I expected).

Once upon a time, Panasonic did a print ad for one of their new color printers that was a dot test that read "Panasonic", with nothing else on the page. Not super-effective advertising - although I suppose color-blind folks weren't necessarily the target demographic...

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It doesn't say anything for me, it's an odd shape of different coloured orbs and yes i am confirmed colour blind. Red green, i keep forgetting what it's called.

Okay I saw 21 but I am colorblind

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not color blind and never realized that these are made to show different numbers for those who are and are not. Never paid any attention to it, but now I can clearly see the 74 is made of two different colors/shades. Huh.

Dodge made a Viper with the color "yorange". You can tell the difference in this photo

Orange car and 21. But, I was told that I'm little colorblind. I can't drive train, tram and trolley car

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Orange and 21 and I am colour blind. I drive a tram.

Is it bad that I glanced at it and also thought it was 71, and had to actually consciously pay attention to the colours to see the 4?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No I think that's by design. I also thought it was 71 at first it just takes a bit more time

I can confirm that I see both an orange car and a 21. I'm not colourblind in the "I can't see any colour " way and I can drive a car and see traffic lights without any problem but I do percieve colors differently enough to get in arguments with friends and family about the colour of stuff. I think it's called deuteranomaly

Edit :the more I know!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Colourblind isn't the complete absense of colour, e.g. everything looks black and white. With deuteranomaly, you are the actual textbook definition of colourblindness... There are different levels of it, but all can still perceive colour - it's just whether the difference in colour of the spectrum is detected correctly.

Deuteranomaly (/ie) is the reduction in reactivity of the red-colour receptors. That means your perception of orange/red/brown is less than those with normal vision.

For those with normal vision, this is a great chart. But, if you're colourblind, it'll be more confusing for you, sorry!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

So everyone can see a form of blue, most being royal blue? That's super interesting because there's a saying in art, "If you can't make it good, make it blue."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why does the chart not include purple?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If I were to guess, it might be because purple isn't a wavelength of light, it's like a glitch in how we perceive light with the two cones opposite to each other in the spectrum being stimulated at the same time without the middle one.

For any practical purposes in every day life, purple is a color, it just doesn't exist outside our perception.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Suddenly, the 40k meme of purple orkz not existing gets a whole new meaning

You are actually textbook definition of colour blind. What you have is deuteranomaly which is red green colour blindness.
