- My Father-In-Law is Red-Green Colorblind. When we found EnChroma, his family wanted to give him the gift of color. This is his first reaction.

that was the best gift ever! will always be one of my favorite memories
J Lawrence do the glasses really allow to see the 3 primary colors or do it only allow to make a difference between them?
From the way he is describing the experience, I suspect he is truly seeing primary colors. For example, stop signs are not brown anymore and highway signs are green rather than gray. At one point in the video he mentions that the gray shirt is what green used to be for him. Rose bushes have been a big deal, he can now see the colors of the flowers and they no longer blend in with the leaves.
About half the people who are colorblind don't completely lose the cones that sense the colors they're blind to. The glasses change the light spectrum by damping down the other colors and enhancing the ones in their blind range. The brain takes over and rebalances its processing of the spectrum, but now since all the color signals are correct, the person sees color properly.

Well said.
The little boy who kept giving his grandpa a hug though! :D
Mike Morrison so sweet...
I think he wanted the Grandpa to notice him and his coloured clothes.
That was so precious! 😊
He really loves papa
That was adorable
When the little boy goes over there and lays his head on grumpy's shoulder 😭😭😭😍😍😍
Ray Marie I saw that and loved it also.
very empathic!
grumpy? is that how we call grandpa? What a unfortunate use of word?
@@seanleith5312 He chose to be called Grumpy. He is anything But Grumpy.
"I don't believe anything I see." This is actually an incredibly fascinating insight form the gentleman, for as simple a statement it is.
Very true, a unique and apt way to think about it. Now I have normal color vision, but my father has what is called tetrachromacy. Basically in stead of 3 color cones like you and me, he was born with 4. Basically people with 4 cones see shades of color far better then you or me. Two color pallets identical to us are obviously different to them. It kind of give you a picture of what it would be like to be color blind when, in a sense we are compared to a person with tetrachromacy.
@@stephanginther9051 Isn't that extremely rare for a man? I heard it's rare but that women have it much more than men.
I wonder what a Monet painting looks like with that type of vision.
@@jimmyfortrue3741 Yes it is, actually its pretty interesting. All good genetic dispositions related to color eyesight are more common in women, and all bad are more common in men. Women typically have better color vision then men just in general. Also if either parent has the color blindness gene a male child can get it, but a girl can only get it if both parents have the gene. Also I sometimes wonder what things look like to him too, I have normal color vision.
@@stephanginther9051 oh fascinating! i now want tetrachromacy glasses
@@jimmyfortrue3741 Yes (sorry it took me so long to reply) Basically, women have better eyes than men in general. _good_ genetics for eyes, such as abnormally good vision, tetrachromacy and whatnot are waaaay more common in women than men, conversely *bad* genetics for the eyes are significantly more common in men that women. For example, a man can be born color blind if either parent has the gene, but a woman can only be born color blind if *both* parents have the gene.
What a sweet grandson, he was so happy for his paw paw
Such a loving family! The boy so loves his grandpa, which is a give away to how wonderful grandpa is. Bless your family.
He better not look at the guy in the tie dye or he'll have an aneurysm.
Lmao
Haha, I was thinking the same.
lol
I love the young boy gives him a big hug..
This is so beautiful. Look at how they're all wearing colorful clothing
I love the grandkid!! Actually your whole family seems very loving !
So much better than the littler kids “LET ME TRY”. This kid is an angel
the boy in red is so lovely. I'm very glad for that
Pri Sol isnt it orange? Im colorblind so I might be confused
Shut Up I'm Meditating no I'm sorry to say that. It's red. what about to get an Enchoma Glasses ?
Pri Sol theyre on their way :) just ordered them yesterday and anxiously waiting
Shut Up I'm Meditating i hope they work on you! good luck.
is not a full red like the youtube logo, but it's redish sort of in between orange and red
+Shut Up I'm Meditating // Make a video when you put them on for the first time. :)
Somehow youtube recommended me an Enchroma video, not sure why, got sucked in and started watching related videos. This was a nice one, thanks for sharing. Lovely family.
Cassandra Foster i have one pop up everyday in my recommended list .. I love it
"SIT DOWN BEFORE WE'LL HAVE AN ISSUE" 😂😂😂
Jay Jay She almost said heart attack😞😩
i love when old ppl r happy
You see, this is a company that really changes lives, this is really making an impact. They don't need to make advertisements, they can just use videos like these, this is what real happiness is.
So right
Sorry to tell you... This kind of videos are their advertisements. Most of them are scripted marketing videos. Yeah, hard to believe but i think you must know it.
@@Darkkavatar NOT SCRIPTED! Yes, our family planned this reveal but this was an actual surprise for Grumpy and that is his genuine reaction.
James (the little boy) is such a sweetheart! He is so involved in his Grumpys journey and keeps on checking in with him.
I am so glad that the gentleman was able to see the beauty of color after so many years of being deprived of it.
1:46 what a precious moment!
Hello from Canada. What a nice day for all. It is so nice that James gave his caring hugs too. Well done everyone!
Show him the different colors of all your eyes.. then his grand babies.. That feel, what has been passed down.. priceless ❤🌹
I would also be grumpy if I never saw colour. Lovely gentleman, such a happy moment💖
Wonderful video, thanks for sharing. And that grandkid ... he clearly loves his grandpa, what a nice bonus. Oh, my heart, hehe.
As a colourblind person, Wen I saw colours first time, I thot the glasses were broken or smth. I LOVED orange before because I hardly ever got that colour wrongly but after wearing it, orange was ugly and red seemed pink. I finally understood why people sad red looked like pink. And also, the worst part... people looked so BLAND. Like I saw why people were multicoloured. Everybody used to look kinda green.
Kinda green 😅😅😅😂😂💚 that's great!
So you indeed saw little green men, after all. :-P
@ I assure you, now 3.5 years later, he absolutely CAN see colors he never saw before. No we didn't make him take a color blind test, because this was a surprise. And we've witnessed him not seeing red or green our entire lives, there was no question he was colorblind. And we have piles of hunting and shooting glasses, none of them ever had an even remotely similar result as Enchroma.
Love that the family didn't bombard him and allowed him the quiet moments to take in this wonderful gift.
Oh my goodness what a sweet little boy that came up and hugged him first. Whoever raised that boy, kudos. He had understanding and compassion
I love how everyone wore they brightest shirt !!! So cute :)
Beautiful! Get so happy for people looking at these videos! Was laughing a bit extra though when he said "I'm looking for a true green" sitting on grass in the yard, hihi. Happy for you old man! Wish you a happy colorful future!
What a great family, little boy sure loves grand dad. Cool top and pants, can't get lost now can you.
My heart goes out to each and every one of you, big loves sent from the 🇬🇧. ❤️😘🤗
It's very nice to see a "new world" when we're old, it arouse our curiosity again.
I loved that this family had the foresight to wear vivid colors. I've seen videos where the person surprising the color blind person wore black.
this is a very loving family -- a pleasure to watch ❤
i wish my family filled with lots of love like this:(
My prayers for you and your family 💖🤗
Make your future family filled with love instead, God bless
@@nathanbell6962 Exactly :). Create any family that you like to have! ❤️
The things we take for granted
Jeffrey Davis may God be blessed and praised. All the things we take for granted are amazing gifts to us from Him.
well, but give at least some credit to the scientists who spent ten years developing the technology for these eyeglasses. If I had to choose where my charity dollar goes, it'd go to this kind of research instead of to a church.
It is a pleasure watching people who seem to genuinely like eachother. The reaction to the glasses is a plus.
I'm grinning ear to ear, I don't know this man, but I am so happy for him.
So sweet of that young man to wear that tie dye shirt, and show up later with the matching shorts!
Lovely family!
1:54 makes my heart happy
Thank Jesus for this wonderful miracle.
I love the grandson goes over to him leans on his shoulders!
Qué bonito gesto del niñito con su abuelo! 😉
I wish God bless, This Family & the glass-company~!!
Awwww that little boy in orange LOVES his Grumpy!!!
Watch the tree behind you.. watch the tree behind you.
These videos never get old to me. I really like to see the older folks get these because it is almost a miracle to them. Priceless gift 🎁
I would think this would have to best gift someone could ever get.
it is unbelievably beautiful. thank you for providing such thing.
I love this so much. I cried and laughed. This family is so lovely.
This is so cool. I had my husband take the test on Enchroma's site because I've always thought he might be slightly color blind & sure enough, he is. Now I want to get him these glasses
I'm so delighted for this lovely man,best of luck to you ,what a great family
What a lovely family. I'm happy for them all!
Boy in orange t shirt hugging his grandpa will go far in life. He has emotional intelligence and compassion!
This is wonderful. So happy for Grumpy! What a beautiful gift.
How sweet! I am so happy that he can see color. It is a gift that most of us take for granted. I hope he has been able to enjoy it for the rest of his life.
I'm colored blind myself and have no desire for the gift of color. I love the world just the way I see it. I hope my family never does this for me.
Accepting that you are color blind is very admirable too! Not everyone can appreciate what they do have. God bless you.
@@maryannedelaney Thank you. I also worry that if given this gift my family would be disappointed in my reaction. They would be looking for something similar to what is in the video. I'm perfectly happy with what I see. I spend a lot of time outdoors and I find what I see amazing and beautiful. I have failed every color blind test ever given and I'm perfectly fine with it. I'm now 48 years old and love life. If only you all could see what I see.
I almost wish I was always colour blind so I could experience this. It just seems so amazing I can't wrap my mind around it... I mean, can you even imagine seeing a new colour? Let alone all of them. It would feel like magic.
Lol..
I know this is coming super late after your comment. But I totally get what you mean about seeing strange colors.
Thank God for the grace to see.
Wish you well
Such a cool video with people wearing many colors and BOOM the balloons !!! Great idea !! Awesome people :)
Loorou I saw one of these vids and the big reveal was in an ugly parking lot with no particular colours, the balloons were still in the box and the other people were wearing drab colours.🤷♀️ The guy was still blown away though.
This are Awesome! wish I knew someone who was colorblind to give these too!
Amazing he's so cute!!!
amazing..what a fine family..
Next time everyone should be assigned a specific solid color! Grandpa would loved it! That said.... Grandpa loved it!
so sweet 😊 lovely family
Awesome gift! Also, the little kid is so lovely!
So awesome and the boy giving him hugs.
❤️😭❤️😄 I am glad he can see the World in color. I hope more people can receive these glasses.
I love how everyone wore bright colors. What an amazing family.
ahaha i love how everyone is wearing super colorful clothes for the event
What a fantastic family. Grumpy is truly blessed.
What a wonderfull family, congrats !
Oh God, this had me in tears.
A delightful family, all loving grumpy, particularly the youngest grandchild, just loving his grumpy♥️
I love this. Super happy for him. That said, I need that lawn ornament.
I love Grumpy, such a cool guy. Really sweet family too. I love how you guys decided to wear your most colorful clothes too. Nice touch.
I want my old age years to be like this sitting in lawn ,enjoying sun with loving peaceful and happy family
Aww man. His whole life green was grey. He couldn't see one of the most beautiful hues on Earth. I can't imagine the over stimulation when they put them shades on. So cool. I hope still happy seeing colors. Something that most people take for granted.
That must be amazing what a nice man and family .
This is wonderful. Thank you scientists. Thank you doctors.
I cant stop watching these videos.Its like the light was off and now its on for these people so beautiful to witness it.
Such a kind and sensitive family, hugging, passing a rose, giving the gift in the first place! Beautiful.
SWEET SWEET FAMILY CHARISH EACH COLORFUL MOMENT, GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH THE ABILITY BE THANKFUL
New world 😘 New Life Intake. I love these videos. HE IS ALL SMILES❣
With all the sadness etc etc in the world, isn't this so wonderful!!
надо же только в старости он увидел мир таким какой он есть! он так много пропустил в этой жизни, очень жаль..но радость в том,что он хотя бы раз в жизни увидел все это
What a great family!! ❤️❤️
I just loved this mans reaction.
God-bless him! I'm glad he was alive to actually had the experience to see color for the first time. Sometimes, we as people with normal eyes, take it for granted that we can see everything.... I hope he enjoys his glasses for a long time! This is definitely a life changer! I thank the investors that discovered these glasses. ❤
You know you have a wonderful, caring family Grumpy!!
What a great video among many of these EnChroma videos. Enjoy!
im soo happy for this people
the beauty here is the sense of family
The people who invented these glass es are amazing 😉. Lots of love to grumpy and his family.
I love these. Binge watching these kinds of videos again. They always get me.
I love the stoner grandson waltzing in with that awesome shirt
There are different types of color blindness, and the young man may find the right type of glasses for HIM. Go back to the EnChroma site, and ask about a test for his type of needs. At least you should try.
Id encourage other people thinking about doing something similar for their own colorblind family member to take more care to not ask so many questions that serve only to verify what's going on to you and your fellow observers. This has to be a really emotional moment for people wearing it for the first time, they probably aren't ready to be so emotionally vulnerable around their entire family and probably feel a little embarrassed. Not to disrespect the people in this video!
HE SEE YOUR TRUE COLOURS & THATS WHY HE LOVES YOU!!!!!
This family looks wonderful. From the head to the youngest, everyone seems so loving and kind.
This is so sweet! This had to have changed his life forever :D
So great.
I love Grumpy and his lovely family
Looking for a true green. You're on a lawn.
I know, kept saying, look down
If he were on my lawn it would be true tan or maybe yellow or beige.
Right!
That was the coolest video ever! What an awesome family! I am color blind but not as bad as some. I am so happy that he doesn't have to go another day without seeing in living color!
