I’m pretty sure you can still fly a plane even in black and white. WW2 pilots did. /s
I’ve seen ww2 videos. Everything was in black and white anyways…
Wiley Post flew with one eye, even.
Though, he did die in a plane crash in a plane he was piloting, taking Will Rogers out with him.
Color was invented by the tumblr gay agenda in 2013
That 74 is kind of tricky and my vision is “normal”
This reminds me of a time I was taking one of these colorblind tests. The person administering it was flipping (way too fast) through the numbers and I was reading them fine. A trickier one came up which I could very clearly read, like this 71/74 one, and I said (because fucker was flipping way too fast) “71… no, 74 actually.” He marked it wrong. It felt like a real life Seinfeld incident after that where I kind of stopped the whole test and was saying basically, as nicely as I could, “hey. I said 74. Mark that correct.” MFer didn’t even vocalize a response. I can’t remember but I think he did like two more numbers, said I passed with whatever number of tests with one incorrect. I had to get my eyesight examined after that (this was for some pilot shit. Like a physical) and I told the doctor and he kind of shrugged it off too like “you passed it. It doesn’t matter.” IT MATTERS TO ME GODDAMNIT
Thanks for triggering this random traumatic event from over a decade ago.
It’s ok, you’re safe here despite your disability.
Goddamnit.
Now you’re getting a followup story of how such a small incident fucked with me years later.
I was with my (at the time) gf in our apartment and I don’t remember the exact specifics, but I was sitting looking at the TV straight-on ie the proper viewing angle. She was sitting on our floor looking up at the TV at like maybe a 45 degree angle.
I can’t remember the show or what it was, but on the screen there were some pastel colors. All I mentioned was like “oh, pastel colors. You like those colors.” She was drawing at the time, so it was somewhat relevant. Anyway she looks at the TV, from the bad angle still, and snaps at me “those aren’t pastel you fucking idiot!” And it was like that spinning shit in a movie of me in my head like “no…no…that test was wrong!” Normally we kinda went back and forth like this. Kinda like Vinny and his gf in that movie “my cousin Vinny” but less toxic and less Italian (same thing?). This time though I was just like “but… uh… the angle…” she kinda kept saying I was wrong for a few minutes before I finally tested it myself and then told her to stand and all was revealed. I was not an idiot after all.
And that goddamn test was wrong!
I imagine telling her to stand up and see from a different wasn’t your very first thought because of how off-guard her rebuke caught you? Still, seems you acted fast, or that scene with the pastels was very long
Pretty sure it either QVC (the sales channel) or some cartoon with those colors for art. Probably the former. Shit was a long time ago.
Do you have a better TV now?
Yes. I went from shitty tv and a gf to great tv and no gf. Not sure how to measure this.
You’ll also have an awesome gf soon, my man, I believe in you
Your story reminds me, that in our driving exam, not the actual driving one, but the theory one, I got a single question wrong, and I was not allowed to know which one. If you got more than 3, you’d be told and be allowed to double check if you were scored wrong. But if you pass, you get told that and are expected to move on.
I asked how the hell that was supposed to help someone learn or be prepared to drive without endangering others, and they just told me I passed, what do I care.
And honestly, I truly didn’t care, actually, and let it go. I mean, most people in the street drive like shit anyways, and the whole process of getting a license isn’t really “academic”. It’s possible they were being cunts for no reason, it’s also possible they do this on purpose to cheat the scores and just pass people who failed too many times, but it wasn’t a fight worth having to find out.
If you talking about a test at like a DMV, I would guess it’s more simply just employees don’t want to bother to pull questions up and review with possibly annoyed people or they’re understaffed and the higher ups “solve” part of the issue by saying don’t talk to people, just shove the papers in their hand and move on.
Reminds me of that one post where op discovered he was colourblind when he sorted characters by colour and it being obviously wrong.
I had a moment where I believed I was colorblind because I was toying around with iOS accessibility settings and one of the colour filters looked exactly the same enabled as disabled when I tested it. Good times.
Not colorblind.
Can I just tell you how much I hate those Ishihara tests? I don’t see shit in that OP one (which was exactly what I expected).
Once upon a time, Panasonic did a print ad for one of their new color printers that was a dot test that read “Panasonic”, with nothing else on the page. Not super-effective advertising - although I suppose color-blind folks weren’t necessarily the target demographic…
So, you’re colourblind.
Well… yes. Good call.
Not sure if blind, colourblind, or memeing…
Colorblind. About 20% protanomaly (red-weak). Orange, brown, and purple are annoying for me. :)
on a similar note, i hate those vision tests with all the letters on it. can’t see shit, blurry as fuck. who invented this dogshit font
“I hate those tests because they do their job!”
Yes, they do.
I kinda hate them because non-colorblind people generally say one of a few things when conversations about them come up: “OMG do you really not see any numbers on there? It’s so OBVIOUS”, “Wow… so what color is this [insert random obvious thing]?”, or “So you’re colorblind? How do you deal with traffic lights? LOL”.
Who the fuck thinks that’s yellow??
colorblind people apparently
for all we know it might be a yellow car in a dark room
Well, we can see the reflection of sky in the paint. I’m sure the camera’s white balance could make it look either color though.
It doesn’t say anything for me, it’s an odd shape of different coloured orbs and yes i am confirmed colour blind. Red green, i keep forgetting what it’s called.
Deuteranopia.
Most likely Deuteranomoly actually, anopias defects are slightly more rare.
DeuteranomAly
Okay I saw 21 but I am colorblind
I’m not color blind and never realized that these are made to show different numbers for those who are and are not. Never paid any attention to it, but now I can clearly see the 74 is made of two different colors/shades. Huh.

But they already said that they’re colorblind.
Doesnt hurt to get a second opinion
Meet the new opinion, same as the old opinion
“We had one, yes. What about second opinion?”
Maybe the same doctor will tell a different opinion? Because he isn’t in the mood today.

I have been checked, and I am definitely officially color blind. I’ve known this for years and there is no doubt about it.
Nevermind, read your post wrong.
It’s funny. If I look away, I can clearly see 21, but if I look at it, it disappears.
(I am colorblind, by the way, but not red-green colorblind.)
Dodge made a Viper with the color “yorange”. You can tell the difference in this photo
That Viper on the left looks like the same color as the car in the OP.
Orange car and 21. But, I was told that I’m little colorblind. I can’t drive train, tram and trolley car
Orange and 21 and I am colour blind. I drive a tram.
Is it bad that I glanced at it and also thought it was 71, and had to actually consciously pay attention to the colours to see the 4?
No I think that’s by design. I also thought it was 71 at first it just takes a bit more time
It’s definitely by design. The 1 is dark green and the rest of the 4 is olive
I can see the 1 but at first glance it’s definitely 74. The olive colour is much closer to green than orange.
I see it as 21. I am colour blind.
Yeah I don’t even know if it’s a 7 or a 2, but the second digit is 1, been tested colorblind
I can confirm that I see both an orange car and a 21. I’m not colourblind in the "I can’t see any colour " way and I can drive a car and see traffic lights without any problem but I do percieve colors differently enough to get in arguments with friends and family about the colour of stuff. I think it’s called deuteranomaly
Edit :the more I know!
Colourblind isn’t the complete absense of colour, e.g. everything looks black and white. With deuteranomaly, you are the actual textbook definition of colourblindness… There are different levels of it, but all can still perceive colour - it’s just whether the difference in colour of the spectrum is detected correctly.
Deuteranomaly (/ie) is the reduction in reactivity of the red-colour receptors. That means your perception of orange/red/brown is less than those with normal vision.
For those with normal vision, this is a great chart. But, if you’re colourblind, it’ll be more confusing for you, sorry!
So everyone can see a form of blue, most being royal blue? That’s super interesting because there’s a saying in art, “If you can’t make it good, make it blue.”
Why does the chart not include purple?
It does include purple, it’s a little bit before the 400nm mark.

You are actually textbook definition of colour blind. What you have is deuteranomaly which is red green colour blindness.
So is it white/gold or blue/black?
Even though I know the dress factually is blue and black, I think a white and gold version should be made, because it’s pretty.
And it should also be photographed in such a way that it appears to be blue and black.
Brain storm
That one is a little fucked, I see the 4 but I saw the 1 first.
Yeah, definitely more of a trick, can see the 74 but it’s a little more faint than I’d like it to be
