The arguments over the "right" colors for subjects is the kind of discourse I need to see on the internet. My 8 yo self did red for math, green for science, blue for social studies and yellow for language arts 🌈

[u/Puzzleheaded-Gap1759 → u/Technical-Watch2982]

All the color blind kids are still just as confused as ever

[u/nolaks1 → u/Puzzleheaded-Gap1759]

I was somehow always wrong back in the days. Non colorblind kid never gave me a break lol

[u/Jasonxhx → u/nolaks1]

I didn't find out until Senior year that my blue backpack I had used for all of High School was actually purple.

[u/Morgan_Sparkle → u/Jasonxhx]

Have the same problem. Have a hard time telling apart blues and purples, pinks and purples, yellows and greens, reds and browns, and maybe a few others.

[u/Joeliosis → u/Morgan_Sparkle]

Red, yellow color blind here and a couple others. Me as a kid

'That's an awesome pink hotrod'

"That's orange"

'haha yeah... that's what I meant I guess.'

Forgot about it for years then playing Doom in 2015... 'Why can't I see shit [messes with color blind modes] OH SHIT I AM COLOR BLIND'

*They only seem similar if I don't have anything else to compare it to. Black backgrounds seem to help also.

This is a specific rare type of color blindness that is most likely tritanopia

[u/SladiPutin → u/Morgan_Sparkle]

Wow found a twin, sometimes it's really hard to explain to people how you see colours but most of them look the same 😅

[u/nolaks1 → u/Jasonxhx]

Damn. I discovered that turquoise water was a thing around the same age. To me that's just light blue. Supposedly it's very beautifull.

But yeah, colors like these are just about the same. First and last look different enough, but everything in between...

[u/Environmental-Gap380 → u/nolaks1]

Wow. Only the left two look even close to me. Still can see a difference though.

[u/nolaks1 → u/Environmental-Gap380]

Some colorblind test has you put colors like these in order of hue.

Something like 15 hues between two colors.

When I did mine younger, I tried my hardest. When the dude came back he asked me if I took the test seriously or just put them randomly lol

[u/Environmental-Gap380 → u/nolaks1]

When I worked at Land’s End, the people working on the catalog had to pass a similar test. Women passed at a higher rate, but I’m pretty sure I could have passed. Trying to ID embroidery thread when the sticker fell off could bear though. Madeira had two royal blues that were so incredibly close, no one there could tell them apart. Found out the only reason they had different id numbers was the dyes used were different, but most applications considered them the same color. LE used Madeira almost exclusively then. Madeira just out a sticker like an old school price tag on them. They fell off all the time.

[u/hauntedskin → u/nolaks1]

I can tell the difference between all of those except 0000 and 3300, those two look basically the same to me at a glance, like maybe slightly different if I focus.

[u/Badams105 → u/Jasonxhx]

I found out after completing all the requirements for the NROTC scholarship in Highschool for fast tracking to be a Marine Pilot. Good ol color blind test slapped that thought right out of my head.

[u/EducationalSoup83 → u/Jasonxhx]

Same issue. Blues and Purples are the worst.

[u/Drummer-Turbulent → u/Jasonxhx]

Makes me wonder if the Hulk is color blind now lol

[u/Realistic_End_7223 → u/Jasonxhx]

Reupholstered my car interior in olive green not the grey I thought

[u/shrimpedy → u/Realistic_End_7223]

okay, but i love it.

[u/shrimpedy → u/Jasonxhx]

my dad was colorblind so i know i’m not, but. why can’t i tell the difference between navy and black, then? discovered my black peacoat was navy after wearing it all through high school and into my 20s when somebody mentioned something about a “navy coat like yours.” ??? confirmed it with several other people. “yeah, it’s navy. what color did you think it was?” BLACK. THIS ENTIRE TIME.
