colorblindness doesn't work like that

But I use this as an excuse, as I am standard colorblind, but it's uses are endless.

It's probably the easiest excuse I've found to get out of awkward situations. "hey, does this color look good on me?" "umm… I'm colorblind"

And even that is just a generalization. Color deficiency doesn't happen in discrete intervals. So while those pictures are a good idea, it won't tell you exactly what your colorblind friend Jimbo is really seeing.

i wish teachers would explain color blindness better

[–]ozpunk 5 points6 points ago

Just change it from color blind to completely blind and the joke works better.

Unless the cube is red and green only you're fine.

There are other kinds of colorblind. I think the real problem is that the rare people who are colorblind as people imagine can still see the different values, for example the blue is darker than yellow typically.

[–]finyacluck -1 points0 points ago

I am colour-blind and i only just discovered from your post that yellow is not usually much lighter than blue, mind blown.

Not sure why you got downvoted. Relevant

[–]TaslemGuy 2 points3 points ago

Technically, there are other forms, but they're increasingly rare.

Red-blue, green-blue, and occasionally monochromatic.

And it's possible to be color-blind and still distinguish colors like these (just not certain much closer colors).

[–]Ragnalypse 1 point2 points ago

That's only the most common color blindness.

For me, its the orange and the green sides. In low light or really warm lights (such as a lamp) I cannot tell them apart.

I just put dots on the green side with a marker.

[–]mattoly 0 points1 point ago

Dots!? Marker!? Why, after 30 years of frustration, had I not thought of doing this? I'm buying a new cube today.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm just going to warn you though, you do have to reapply the marker fairly regularly because the stickers are slick.

I suppose you could also take a knife and cut tiny circles from the stickers for a more permanent solution.

If someone was so color blind that they thought that was solved, then it was solved when they picked it up.

[–]ruskeisniper 1 point2 points ago

That not how it actually works?

As a red-green, green-brown, and blue-purple color blind rubik's cube speed solver, I can assure you that this picture is false. I can solve it in under 25 seconds no problem.

Actually I have a rare case of color blindness that allows me to only see black white and grey so in my case it does work like this

A former manager was color blind and fascinated with Rubik's cubes. He was pretty happy when he added this to his collection. http://review.productwiki.com/grayscale-rubik-s-cube/

The joke is that he can not tell that the Rubik's cube is not completed because he can't see the different colors on it. This joke is filled with inaccuracies.

[–]ihunyack -2 points-1 points ago

so what happens if someone hands it to you completed? what does it look like?
