I hope this never ships as is, because it's not a safe design as is, but I like the idea.

- jessriedel 3y agoIsn't reverse white light? If your colorblindness prevents you from distinguishing turquoise from white, I think that is an extremely rare condition? The vast majority of color blindness is red-green at ~0.5% of the population (or ~2% if you include very mild forms). The next most prevalent type, I think, is blue-yellow (mostly tritan CVD) at 0.01%.
- data-ottawa 3y agoIt’s actually very common. The obvious place most red/green colourblind people will have issues is differentiating red from green where the cones (would normally) overlap, but with only two cones if you saturate both of them equally there’s no additional signal to tell if you’re looking at a colour or white light. The point at which a red-blind person’s green sensitivity intersect with blue is cyan, and for a green-blind person it’s green-cyan (turquoise), so depending on the tone/shade of turquoise it appears white to most colourblind people.
