Christin, as far as I know there is no relationship between myopia and color blindness. So let's focus on your color blindness. Maybe to your relief: Every type of color blindness is like you describe it. The names like red-green or blue-yellow color blindness only tell us about the main color axis which is often mismatched at a certain type of color blindness. But with every color blindness you have many shades of colors you can't distinguish. Have a look at the article about Confusion Lines and the previous article about the CIE color space for the basics. Those confusion lines show exactly that colors like the ones you are mentioning are not distinguishable by colorblind persons. I hope I could help you to understand your color blindness a bit more. Feel free to ask more questions. You can get in direct contact through my contact page. Daniel

Hey, I was looking at a bunch of different color vision tests and one of them linked to this journal. Since you live with color blindness and know a lot about the subject, I wanted to ask you a question that I haven’t really been able to find an answer for a see what you though. Is there a color blindness that would limit a person from seeing different shades of different colors rather than just one color? I have problems determining what is light blue or pink vs. gray, green vs. black, and other ones, usually in dark shades. I was at a friend’s house the other day and having been there only once before I mentioned I didn’t remember one of her walls being painted green and she told me that’s because it was black. I have really bad myopia, perhaps that causes it?
