Are you colorblind?
 

OK, so just I came across this site: http://colorvisiontesting.com/

I've seen the dotty color tests before, and I know I'm not colorblind. What I found interesting was the page with approximations of how someone who is colorblind would see those dotty color tests.

(However, this still doesn't explain why I can't see the pictures in those stupid magic eye posters that were all the rage in the early 90s. WTF was up with those? I still think those were an evil conspiracy. No one saw pictures in those, right? Right?)

If you're color blind, you can't fly jets.




(I know that won't make sense to anybody but quoting movies is funny and cool.)

Oh, and while I never got to a point where I could easily see the Magic Eye pictures I could see them eventually so I at least got over the feeling it was some societal practical joke being played on me.

I acutally just did a google search on the magic eye thing. The site I found says it's a 3D thing, which explains a LOT. I have a lot of trouble with 3D--the images just never match up in things like HISTA. My eyes can make the adjustment, but generally I just find it to be too much work.

While my wife considers me to be colorblind due to my clothing choices, I am not actually color blind.

I love the magic eye 3-D things. Took me about 30 minutes to finally "see" one, but now I can "see" them without much difficulty.

I can't see the Magic Eye things - my eyes don't focus together at the same time.

Ralphie is color blind. Sees a lot of grey in the world. He has an especially hard time differentiating reds and greens when they are next to each other.

It's because they can't tell if the traffic lights change, right?


For years I couldn't see the magic eye things. Then one day I heard you need to focus past them to see it. Once I figured it out I could see them pretty easy. But it was soooo frustrating. It's not much fun if you have to work that hard.

We were tested for colorblindness in Cosmetology. Needless to say, a colorblind person is not generally going to be good at haircoloring and color correction. My dad is colorblind and so has a very simple wardrobe- he pretty much only has light blue, black and white clothing.

My dad was colorblind and generally dressed like Mork from Ork complete with rainbow suspenders.
