  • Some people in the world aren’t able to see many colors. The condition is called color blindness, but what exactly causes it?

    THIS WOMAN SEES 100 TIMES MORE COLORS THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON
    www.popsci.com/article/science...
    “When Concetta Antico looks at a leaf, she sees much more than just green. ‘Around the edge I’ll see orange or red or purple in the shadow; you might see dark green but I’ll see violet, turquoise, blue,’ she said. ‘It’s like a mosaic of color.’”

    A Cure for Colorblindess
    www.theatlantic.com/technology...
    “I stood in the center of Times Square. Fiery orange flames and velvet purple sunsets five stories tall promised that I could stay Forever 21. Along with Vegas and Versailles, few spots in the world depend so heavily on the seductive power of colors. If I was going to see full color for the first time in my life, this was the spot to do it. I am colorblind, but in the last few years new sunglasses have promised to open me up to the world of color.”

    My mom is horrified of letting me get my license because she asked "How can you tell the difference between the red and green lights" I then responded (completely seriously) "Don't worry mom I know the green lights on top and the red is on bottom" I now will never forget that green is on the bottom. lol

    I am red green colorblind. So was my mother. We all knew my mom was colorblind so being the youngest I always got stuck helping her pick out her clothing. Looking back I can only imagine how ludicrous my mother actually looked to other people.
    I was around 22 when I went to the eye doctor for the first time and took that bubble test. The lady kept asking me about numbers throwing in an _"are you sure?"_ here and there.. me thinking "what kind of stupid test is this?" I mean some had no numbers at all and I swear one had a boat. I had never seen or heard of this test before that moment. She gets to the end and just as I'm about to ask what was that for she said _"well you're colorblind."_ I remember saying " wait.. what?! I can't be colorblind. I see color." She then began explaining that some of the colors I see mainly shades of red appear to be the same color even though they aren't. It blew my mind. I kept asking friends and family "are these the same color? & what color is this?" To my surprise there was a lot I thought were the same color that weren't. I remember telling my boss at the time "So apparently I'm colorblind." To which he immediately responded with _"Well that explains a lot. I just thought you were stupid. You always mess up certain sections of the store."_
    I was not only baffled that I was colorblind but also baffled not one single person realized or mentioned that I may have been colorblind until I was 22 years old. I even went to a specialized art high school.
    Nowadays it's a lot of "where's my grey shirt?" _"What grey shirt?"_ "The one with the dear looking head on it." _"You mean the peach shirt?"_ "Are you kidding me that shirts peach? Why the hell has no body told me this?" _"I thought you knew."_

    I'm colorblind and I am very good at hiding it. I got very used to looking at the shades of colors and memorizing what shade is what color. When I tell new people I meet that I am they mostly never believe me. My entire high school career was people asking the, "what color is that" question over and over again and getting it right 100% of the time. I'm sure no one, but my family and close friends actually believe me.

  • @MrSnowLoneWolf
    @MrSnowLoneWolf Před 7 lety +16

    Hmm, my personal experience with color blindness... "So you never knew you were color blind? How could you not tell?" I've been asked that question numerous times and the answer is, drum roll please, I wake up everyday with the same eyes since birth. No one ever preformed a color deficit test on me till I turned 18 so I just saw the world how I saw the world and I thought it was normal.

    I'm colorblind (red, green) and one thing I always wanted to experience is how red looks like for "normal people".. I guess it's more intense in some way? When people ask me how it's like to be colorblind, I describe it as colors melting together. The sad part is that I'll never get to experience how beautiful colors truly are.
    Enjoy colors people, for those who can't!

  • @darkninja0200
    @darkninja0200 Před 8 lety +5

    Well I have Protanopia colorblindness. For those of you who don't know, that is when you have troubles seeing certain shades of reed and green, or differentiating colors with reds and green in them, like seeing the difference between violet and indigo, or sometimes orange and dark yellow.
    My experiences with colorblindness span as far back as I can remember. In elemntary school I was always asking if some colors were red, green, or brown. I would also call Jeans purple, because purples and blues looked very similar for the longest time, until I learned that they were actually blue. I learned if I looked close enough and let my eyes focus I can see that they're blue. Even when I can't tell a color, I have learned tricks. Christmas things are often reds, greens, and whites. Except on easter, those red and green eggs were hard to find. But yeah that's my experience with colorblindness in a nutshell.

  • @LyraniaLothar
    @LyraniaLothar Před 3 lety +4

    I always thought it had something to do with the brain but the problem are the eyes themselves. I can imagine in the future a treatment to the eye or an outright eye change to help color blind people, I heard that yes you can put your eyes back in place as I’ve heard of people in car crashes have their eyes pop out, they can just be put in place albeit with some damage, but hey better than being blind.

      GuyWithAnAmazingHat They're not the first "superpowered mutants" but they're probably one of the only kinds of mutants with a specific name. There's a Brazilian family where many of the members have a 6th functioning finger on their hands. Considering there are several generations of this, this mutation has obviously been known since before 2010.

    I cannot see red, pink and purple, and struggle to understand why people can't see 'in the dark'. Another famous one- when people find out you're colourblind they won't ask about our struggles, our lineage, it's always "Oh, you're colourblind? Then what colour is this?" and points at something expecting me to get it wrong. Every time, without fail.

    Generally it doesn't effect all that much (aside from obtaining specific career choices 😞), only when put in a position to categorise or describing a particular colour.
    Shades of green, red and brown I have most trouble with. They have to be plain and bright for me to differentiate.

    I suffer from cone dystrophy, which not only leaves me legally blind but also causes color-blindness. Although I'm aware to most people red and orange are vibrant colors that just jump out at you, to me they are very dull and don't stand out at all. I often confuse red with black, which I imagine baffles the mind to those that can see the vast difference them. Oh well, it could be worse. I could have no vision at all and not even have a concept of what color is. I'm grateful just to see.

  • @MaxwellEngineer
    @MaxwellEngineer Před 9 lety

    I have troubles distinguishing Blues and Greens, and to be honest, it get's a little infuriating when I work in a Hardware Store. The worst is when (and this happens often) someone lies to me and asks me to tell them the colour of something because they're CB, half the time they're talking the colour Brown or a Taupe.

  • @KielnastraMusic
    @KielnastraMusic Před 9 lety +2

    Being colourblind isn't overly challenging (for me at least). I mainly have problems telling greens and reds apart as well as dark blue and purple. When I am gaming I always have to have colourblind mode turned on as sometimes a deep orange looks red and I accidentally end up shooting friendlies. However.. The most annoying thing? Those people who don't understand what being colourblind is and hold up a certain colour pen and say "What colours this?" And I end up saying the correct colour and their response is "See! You're not colourblind!"

  • @hiimnotreal

    after watching this video, I'm still semi-confused. for as long as I can remember my father has claimed that he can not see/differentiate between certain colors. some examples are navy and black, and gray and brown. is this actually considered being colorblind or is he perhaps just not as observant?

  • @cicad2007
    @cicad2007 Před 8 lety +1

    I had an interesting experience. After I got my cataracts repaired with Crystal Lenses, (just a brand designation, not really made of crystal) everything was suddenly bright. This is to be expected, of course, but it seemed to me that I had to wear sunglasses many places that I never did before. Then I read that a few (5-7%) of people who get new lenses can see part-way into the ultraviolet. I had it tested, and I do see more brightness and slight color changes. Not really any new colors, I think (it's kind of subtle), but greater color enhancement. It seems the natural lens in the eye blocks some of the ultraviolet. This is theorized to be the long-term cause of cataracts - the ultraviolet yellowing the lens.

    I am colorblind when it comes to certain shades of brown and green. I only really notice it when trying to discern between clothing in low light.

I know for a fact about this because when they do the color blind tests at the eye doctor once they get to those color sections I am useless.

    @paulpeterson4216 Před 9 lety

    One example for me is like this. Green components of colors don't stand out. So the Miami Dolphin's Football uniform looks to me more like a shade of blue, lacking the green that is in it. Thinking of that just now makes me realize that most people probably don't think of porpoises as blue; I had never considered that before.

    I probably have more than four cones. Though I was struck by lightning a few years ago, I have the ability to see its shape in 3D space before it strikes some of the time. No one else has ever stated they can do the same. This is a capability only two people I know have actually witnessed. Of course rhis has directly inspired WREM and other imaging techniques I still think about almost everyday. I want others to be able to see what I can even if they have to look at a screen to do so.

I've always wondered how everyone else sees things. I'm anomalous trichromacy, I see very basic colors and often can't tell the difference between close colors like blue, purple or anything dark just looks black to me.

  • @adamcrume
    @adamcrume Před 9 lety

    Red-green color blind here, and there are two annoying issues: 1) when I tell people, the first thing they do is point to something and ask "What color is this?" 2) color-coded maps/charts/diagrams. Color-coding is fine and even helpful, but don't rely on color as the only way to encode information. Use different textures, line styles, or simple text labels as a secondary way to communicate information.

    My Dad was a painter for most of his life. His paintings from his younger years have more color than the paintings from his older years. He died last year, and he did a painting shortly before he died. It is almost completely devoid of color. It's just muted browns and grays. I think my Dad's paintings reveal how he saw the world. His ability to see color diminished with age, and this is reflected in his paintings.

Every so often il describe a shade of colour as blue and someone will call me out saying its green.. I don't know if it's just the opinion of the shade or how we actually see it different. Apart from that everything is seemingly normal

    I don't think I'm colorblind but I do wonder if our ways to perceive colors can be different and that we just simply don't know.

    I have anomalous trichromacy which makes my shades look exactly alike mostly with shades containing red or green. Ex: red fades out of purple so my purple is hard to distinguish from a blue or yellow green looks like yellow

Thank you for the attention, and keep up the good work.

    I never even knew I was color blind because I can't see different shades of green yellow blue and some purple they all look the same but that makes art class a whole lot harder and awkward because I have to ask my art teacher or a classmate what color it is and I can't see about 6-7 colors on he color wheel

    @robp4616 Před 5 lety

    Unfortunately, all of my hobbies and career choices require accurate color vision. It's really disheartening at times. I have to have the right light source when working with different colored wires, for example, as well as give myself enough time to FULLY study the color to be absolutely sure I'm not making a mistake. I can't quickly glance at a wire and confidently discern a dull pink from a light grey, or a brown from a very dark green.
    I've made mistakes, and the amount of time it takes to troubleshoot the incorrect pairing of wires is so frustrating.

    I'm red & green color blind. I don't see most reds or greens.The one question everyone asks is " how do you see traffic lights".... WITH MY FEET !!!......... I see the light but I go by top, middle or bottom.... if its not working the middle flashes or nothing is turned on. the turning arrow lights up if its a turning lane. Stop signs have "STOP" written across them and a solid white line on the road....oh and its a big fracken octagon. I don't drive in bad weather or late at night in areas I don't know. but there are ways around to get around being colorblind.

  • @francoistrempe

    I'm color blind. Some blues look purple to me and vice versa. If red bleeds onto white clothing in the wash, I won't notice until someone asks why I'm wearing pink socks. Which isn't to say I can't see pink, but red-bleeds-onto-white pink is hard for me to distinguish, it looks just a little off white to me. Navigation lights on distant aircraft and sea-craft become more difficult to identify the further they are from me. If it weren't for little things like these I wouldn't even know I was color blind. But I've learned not to argue about colors.

    I have protanopia. I found out when I was 17 that I have a strong protan. I didn't know, never really thought about it. I just lived my life, but I had suspicions that I wasn't seeing correctly. My friends would say "look at that red car over there" and I couldn't for the life of me find the car they were talking about. Also, I had the hardest time in art class telling the difference between all the colours on the colour wheel and making different colours and their complementary colours. I had to cheat to pass my art exam, but for some reason, I never brought that up. I thought It was embarrassing that I had trouble distinguishing between the colours. It was sad because everyone can see it and I thought I was less than everyone else. So for me, I thought it was embarrassing. The ladies for some reason find it cute though aha

    I have deuteranomaly/deuteranopia (hard to tell which), ie red/green colourblindness, and it's not a huge deal but still sucks. Especially since I am trained in biology, which involves a lot of colour identification. Sometimes I worry that an employer will pass me over due to my disability.

    I have a have a form of red green colorblindness called (according to online tests) a Moderate Protan.
    Basically my biggest issue is blue and purple. I can tell the colors are different shades but if you asked me which one was blue and which purple, i couldn't tell you. I have learned a cheat that works most of the time where i'll just tell you the lighter shade is blue but it's not 100% effective. I can also pass a Farnsworth colorblind test where you line up the colors by shade from blue to purple.
    the rest of my troubles just come with certain shades of colors. if green gets too light I start to think it's yellow. I also sometimes confuse certain shades of brown and green. I actually didn't realize until recently that peanut butter was actually brown, not green. I could still swear it looks green though. I actually very rarely confuse red and green unless the lighting is bad or if they're both really dark. Red can also start to look black if it gets too dark. Green traffic lights look almost white like a street light though it looks slightly different. it's worse if there are many lights around like if i'm driving in the city.
