Is people who suffers deuteranomaly cannot recognise green ,while Deuteranope can only see some hues of green ?? Is it like that? What is the difference between Deuteranopia and Deuteranomaly ??

But a couple of tests (online) have told me or shown that I'm protanopic. Except one test on here (the Farnsworth test) says I'm severe deutan. I wish I could find out exactly which one I am, as online tests aren't entirely the most accurate. I usually have difficulty with greens, such as dark green and brown, green grass and orange, light green and yellow, sometraffic green lights look white and cyan/blue green looks grey. I also have difficulty with dark red and brown, and blue and purple. I have difficulty with other colors too, but those throw me off the most. My mom thinks I could have both protan and deutan defects. But I don't think that's possible, is it? I’m not sure if I’m protan or deutan, but those lizard images look exactly the same.

Wow! It's amazing to read some of these comments and finally realize there are others out there who might see colors as I do. The "vibrations" / "color switch optical illusion" is something I've tried to explain to friends & family but they have never understood. When I took the Color Arrangement test on here, I had a hard time as the color blocks would shift their color and basically if I stared at it long enough it would appear to be just 2 colors. Reading through the comments it would appear that there are a lot of young people who are afraid how this is going to affect their life. In a nutshell, it doesn't for the most part. Yes there are certain jobs that require. I was in the Air Force for 10 years. I wasn't supposed to be to get a job on the flightline, but I asked if I could take a real world test. I had them first show me each light and tell me the associated color. After that brief "training", they show me the lights again and I had to name them as the light was flashed. I scored 20 out of 20. The flightline manager said that Non-colorblind don't realize we colorblind still see color and can differentiate between colors if we are given a chance to "train" our eyes. The problem is when the color comes out of nowhere and we're asked to determine the color name without any previous comparisons. As far as driving, I've been driving for over 25 years, and in that time I can probably count on one hand how many times I've actually seen a green light! Whenever it happens that a green light is actually green to me, I usually hoot-n-holler with joy! Most of the time the green light is white to me, which sometimes if I'm driving at night in a new city, does make it difficult to distinguish between traffic light and street lights. The other issue with driving are those intersections usually in rural areas that have a flashing light, sometimes red, sometimes yellow. If I can't determine which color it is - I just come to a complete stop before proceeding or ask a passenger. To the young guys who are worried about their newly discovered colorblindness - don't worry & use it to your advantage! I've gotten more dates & telephone numbers, talking about my colorblindness. Usually it's when I'm shopping for clothes - I'll find a cute salesgirl to ask if she wouldn't mind helping me pickup clothes since I'm colorblind! Works every time! Anyway it's nice to know there are others out there that are as severely colorblind as myself. Just discovered your site. Wow!
