CoachT Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I recently found out that I am color blind at the age of 31. My brother and I always knew something was up, because we would get into arguments with people about what color certain things are. Then my friend showed me these tests that confirmed it. Take the test for yourself. https://www.colour-blindness.com/colour-blindness-tests/ishihara-colour-test-plates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) I was diagnosed as color blind in fourth grade when I first started wearing glasses to correct for being nearsighted. I am moderately red-green colorblind. Pretty common for a male. My father was relieved to find out. He couldn’t understand why I couldn’t identify colors correctly. He was afraid that I was just stupid. I took the tests on the linked website and I pretty consistently tested positive for red-green colorblind with emphasis on the green.

Hahaha I was pretty worried I was "just stupid" too .. I'm still not ruling that out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely not fully color blind, just seem to struggle with greens and blues. I did always had a feeling something was off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Apparently Jim Kelly is?

I remember the NFL catching some flak for that. https://www.newsweek.com/color-blind-fans-struggle-nfl-color-rush-uniforms-396366 Edited April 23, 2019 by NoHuddleKelly12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the NFL catching some flak for that. I couldn’t tell them apart. Watching that game was no fun for me. Both teams also had mostly white helmets. It turns out it was a nationwide topic of conversation after that game. According to Google, 8% of men with Northern European heritage are red-green colorblind to some extent. This has been discussed before on this forum, but it’s a fun topic so I don’t mind bringing it up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachT Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 I don't know how this turned into a wine thread but .. White don't get me drunk at all, I can drink a whole bottle and .. nothing Red is a great fun drunk. Love a good red wine drunk .. but gives me a headache every single time. Sometimes the headache starts that same night. Is that because I'm drinking the cheap stuff or am I just a softie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game sucked............I could tell them apart on running plays because the camera was closer. But, on passing plays I had no idea who to root for to catch the ball! The thing is I think the colors look really cool when I see pictures from that game. Because they are closer up pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 In college I had a lab partner who did not know she was color-blind. Until we did a titration where the initial solution was green and the endpoint occurred when it turned blue. While she was titrating, I was in another lab area and came back to a full beaker of blue solution that she thought was still green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
