Subject: Are you color blind?
Take the test!!
For the record, I am not color blind! ;D
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
I'm not either...except when I get caught running a red light...
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
Even with a glare on my monitor screen, the test shows I have a healthy, normal color vision.
I remember going to school with a boy that was color-blind. No one ever would have known about it if he had not told us.
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
I am! But I never found out until I was 16 and we did a colour blindness test in biology. I always wondered why everybody said this nice white shirt I had when I was a kid was green. After that, I knew why. :)
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
I have taken those tests before. I see colors just fine. "The colors, the colors." (oh, sorry. Having a 60s flashback. ;))

8)I'm not,but my dad is.I've heard that color blind people could be useful in the military because they can detect camoflage,but in america they're so common that the US military doesn't need a lot of them.In other countries,color blind people are lesscommon.member an episode of people's Court with judge wapner where a guy is suinf to have a car repainted because it was the wrong color.Judge wapner asks why the man didn't just tell the auto shop it was the wrong color before he drove it home,and the man saidthat he's color blind and his wife decides what color the cars should be!Cheers! ;D
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
I can't tell really dark purple from really dark blue, is that bad? :P 8)
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
I'd place a good bet that not a single female member of this board is colour blind. Colour blindness is quite common in males, but extraordinarily rare in women.

I am NOT color blind. Yay!
Although, I could have sworn I saw I bottle of Gin and a pack of smokes in the last one. ::)
(I think I am in desperate need if a vacation) 8)
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
i'm not colorblind! this kid who was in my second grade was colorblind, and couldn't tell the difference between the blue and red lines on the paper we used to learn to write in cursive...he was also obsessed with penguins. (i kid you not!)
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
I'm not either. I could read all the numbers, but to me the dots appeared to be moving :o
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
Nope, not color blind.
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
LOL !
I had to take the Ishihara Test when I started employment with the Commonwealth Government as part of my medical check in the late 70's.
I remember it to this day as there are extra pages to that test - some of them have no numbers at all - I remember panicking becuase after having gone so well I couldn't see anything at all... :o
Was I relieved when the doc said there was nothing there to see ! :-/
FB :D
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
I am not color blind, just near-sighted.
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
Well, I'm not, but hubby is color "deficient". Meaning, he has trouble discerning between black, dark brown, dark blues, dark greens, etc.
I had a high school project in my econ class where we had to do a business plan, layout, etc. I did mine, totally forgetting that the teacher was color blind, with my layout color coded. ;D
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
well, despite what my choice in colors for the websites might lead you to believe, I'm not color blind.
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
No, I'm not colorblind! ;D
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
Hum, interesting.....while I made them all out...a few were hard to see without looking at them for a bit....and that last one really threw me...maybe I need to get the doc to test me again ::)

I'm not colorblind either. I am however, near-sighted in my right eye and far-sighted in my left eye. That is (apparently) even rarer than a color-blind woman!
I had a boss who was color-blind and his wife had to pin numbers on his shirts and ties to show which ones went with each other...I used to make the screen on my computer really bright blue with yellow letters so he couldn't read it!!
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
I'm not colour-blind but my husband is. He found out when reading a children's encyclopedia which had an Ishihara test in it. It said that some people couldn't see the cat or dog or whatever because they were colour-blind and he realised he couldn't see the picture properly.
It isn't a major problem though I do have to tell him which is his blue shirt and which is his purple one. We also had fun wiring a radio into my first car. All the wires involved were exactly the colours he muddled. Besides, can you tell the difference between brown with an orange stripe and orange with a brown stripe?

Interesting you mentioned camoflage as we were reading an article at work that on big game hunts the guides and hunters wear bright blue camos, because the animals are colour blind they can't see the colours but the men with the guns can.So technically if you then get shot they obviousy meant to hit you !!
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
The number 6 took me a second or too but other than that... YAY! I'm not colourblind. Well, whoppee. Females have like a 1.7% chance of being colour blind in any case...
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
Hey Hey for the record I am not colour blind and I have perfectly normal vision.
Subject: Re: Are you color blind?
???I think only men or boys can be colour blind...im not sure but thats what i hear :P
