What is it Like to be Color Blind

Laura Evans created a nice and short documentary film to show what it’s like to be colorblind. While interviewing a colorblind artist she gives us a nice overview of how it feels, some thoughts on what the term color means and how important colors really are if you are suffering from color blindness. “No such thing as color” includes some nice details to give you an insight on how it might feel to be colorblind.

There is only one thing which I don’t really understand: She starts with letting the guy name the coloring of some houses in the neighbourhood. For me as a strongly red-blind person the guy in the film does a perfect job on this task…. but watch yourself :-)

Can You Spot the Red Berries?

Richard, a friend of mine from Great Britain, took this very nice winter picture which he sent to me. He was outside to catch the fresh snow on the trees. And well, he didn’t really realize what different colors he caught on the picture as he is also colorblind.

Only when somebody told him, he was able to spot the red berries!

Can you see the red berries on the tree or not? — You could also use this beautiful winter shot as a simple color blindness test. I’m red-blind and definitely can’t see them.

I just stumbled upon the clock i cant see. The sonodesign team used the Ishihara plates as starting point for the design of this nice clock. Can you read the numbers? I definitely need my sons assistance.

It is not the clock to buy while your colorblind son tries to learn it, but it looks nice anyway: the clock i cant see.

I was contacted by Nick *spigget, an artist. He made a nice chart with pictures consisting of the different color blindness types.

Colorful fruits — great work. Thanks Nick. You can find more of his art work at his personal deviantART gallery.

Ishihara Elephant

The Japanese Professor Dr. Shinobu Ishihara is very well known as the originator of the pseudoisochromatic color blind test. For me this pictures look just like a bunch of colored dots. Others claim to see a hidden message.

What message does this nice pseudoisochromatic elephant have to tell you?
