Even a monochromat should be able to tell apart the different shades.

yeah, if colorblindness worked like in the comic it would be impossible for a colorblind person to watch tv/use computer

It would be impossible for a colorblind person to do much of anything if it worked this way.

The comic is confusing colorblind with blind.

If you take a photo and make it black and white, it doesn't just turn a single shade of gray. You would still be able to see you hadn't completed the puzzle.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD COLORBLIND PEOPLE CAN SEE COLOR

[–]4454 22 points23 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm colorblind. And every time I tell someone; their first reaction is to grab the closest object and scream, "WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE TO YOU?!" Trust me, everyone thinks "colorblind" is literal.

*Thanks for the fix! (Things->Thinks)

[–]rail16 1 point2 points ago

One of my eye doctors was colour-blind, as am I, and he he didn't like the term and had everyone in the office using colour deficient.

I've found that it is a better term to use as it gives more information as to what we see rather than what we don't see.

[–]denkyuu 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, it's pretty funny sometimes, but it gets old. I'm not red-green or anything, but Blue and purple are indistinguishable, along with shades of yellow and green.

[–]4454 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm red/green colorblind. Video games where it's red vs green is ... rough ... at best. For my teammates that is.

[–]denkyuu 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oof... Yeah, the things people normally worry about are easy to get around. Sure you can memorize which light on a stop light means go, top or bottom. But games always remain a problem. I once decorated an entire house in The Sims with a blue-purple motif. Apparently it looked atrocious, but I didn't find that out until a week later when my friend called me out on it.

[–]4454 0 points1 point ago

haha I was once standing in FRONT of a sweater a girlfriend wanted, and I was going to buy it for her, but couldn't find it. My friend was with me and he asked, "what color are you looking for?" Then I told him...again. Then he says, "ok, just checking" grabs the sweater, poker faces me, and says, "jackass"

It sucks, doesn't it? My girlfriend is always picking on me for this shirt I have that is apparently plum... Which doesn't bother either of us, it's just that I bought it expecting navy blue.

Story of my fucking life. One time in preschool I was coloring a map of the world, and I had colored the entire ocean in purple (apparently).

[–]piss_artist 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah I'm red-green and since I was about 10 years old I would tell people "I'm colorblind, but don't ask me what color anything looks to me."

However, I milked the hell out of my condition in school to get out of having to color maps, charts and other shit. I would tell me teachers I couldn't tell any of the crayons or colored pencils apart. They'd drop into their pity voice, say "Oh I'm so sorry piss_artist" and give me a B for it every time.

DAMN YOU! You're the one responsible.

[–]Bring_it 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

im partial red-green and yellow blue, and i think there are different levels of color blindness (eg. i can tell red by itself and green by itself, but i dropped the cap of my red pen in the grass and that shit was gone). i now call mine a color deficiency so that shit happens a lot less, although it still happens -_-

and fuck you op, i can legitimately solve a rubiks cube

Even if you were completely incapable of seeing color you are still able to perceive shades of colors. If you taks a picture in black and white it doesn't turn into one uniform gray blob.

Also re-re-re-repost.

If that person were completely unable to tell the difference in the colors on the cube, then it was solved when he or she picked it up.

As a colorblind Rubick's Cube enthusiast, I cannot express to you just how frustrating it is to try to solve it in lower light.

[–]morbidfriends 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Even if you were totally color blind and saw that cube in monochrome, it still wouldn't appear uniform. Here is a good explanation of why:

Why is it a gif?!?!?!

[–]87linux 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Because GIFs work well for simple images with few colors and no gradients.

It's certainly better than a JPEG which would have artifacts all over the text and the edges.

[–]happyCuddleTime 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If only more people understood this better. All too often I see very simplistic images with only two or three colours (such as company logos) encoded as JPEG. And they invariably have artifacts. /nerdrage

I knew a guy who was colorblind. One of the neat things is he was never bothered by sun glare so he never needed sunglasses or a sun visor. Which was useful since he was a truck driver.

Yeah...because then you would see EVERYTHING as one color and would effectively be blind.
