I mix up sea greens and sea blues most f the time unless they are very bright. I confuse the blues in pruples thinking one purple has more red in it than it actually has. I thught one of my purple skits had been dyed more blue by my other clothes until I realised that it hadn't uncer very bright light. Ugh. A few people think I have some colour difficiency because I can't match complimentary blues and greens well. I confuse very dark blues and blacks as well. I am a mild- moderate tritanope.

Your story sounds like you had a lot to learn and not enough support from the Dr.'s. Unfortunately I think this happens far to often. An eye specialist knows all the biology behind color blindness, but can't really help with everyday tasks. The awareness should be much higher specially among teachers, which could support your children at school and offer a helping hand. Jennifer, thank you very much for your contribution.

I definitely think you should have your child checked. I am a mother to a now 7 year old boy who is a tritanope. I discovered this by him mixing up blue and purple when he was 4. Be aware though, that the Dr.'s are not very informative. My son and I have figured out the majoity of things for ourselves. My son is very intelligent and I admire him. This is an extremely rare form of color deficiency and unfortunately I do not think that the Dr.'s themselves know enough about it! I would be happy to offer assistantce in anyway. My son and I have fought a lot of battles together with the schools and others as well. The biggest thing is knowledge. The teachers and pretty much everyone is is lacking the knowledge to understand this type of color deficiency. I wish you luck!
