How colorblind you are -- or maybe in what way -- determines which color combinations you can distinguish characters for. That's horrible, I know, but I'm tired.
I suppose it depends on what mutation(s) you carry. And probably other factors that affect penetrance.
- HankB99 7y agoI think the tests provide an objective measure of color blindness (or maybe better described as color acuity.) I was more interested in the subjective experience. How can someone know what they're missing if they have never experienced it.
- mirimir 7y agoFair enough. So "somewhat" was the diagnosis, not my experience. But I have known other red/green colorblind people. And I can distinguish reddish vs greenish colors better than some. But worse than others.
- HankB99 7y agoInteresting. I didn't know that red/green color blindness could be partial. In the case I cited, the person was completely unable to distinguish red/green LEDs so I assumed his condition was complete, but perhaps it was just the specific wavelengths involved that were troublesome for him.
