Ever wondered what do color blind people see?

To satisfy the urge to =nd out, there's a website
called color-blindness.com that lets you take a
glimpse.

Despite the name, color blindness doesn't mean

that people see the world in black and white.
More than 99% of all colorblind people can, in
fact, see color. Because of this, the term "color
vision de=ciency" (CVD) is considered to be more
accurate. According to color-blindness.com,
around 0.5% of women (1 in 200) and 8% of men
(1 in 12) suffer from some form of CVD. There
are several types of colorblindness, such as
Deuteranomalia (which makes everything look a
little faded), Protanopia (which makes everything
seem a little green), and Tritanopia (greenish-pink
tones), and only around 0.00003% of the world’s
population suffers from total color blindness
(Monochromacy).

Bored Panda decided to test various images to

see how different colors look through different
CVD lenses. Here's what we found on how do
color blind people see! (h/t)

Normal vision

This is how different colors look to somebody

who has normal vision.

Deuteranomalia

The most common of colorblind types is called

Deuteranomalia. Around 4.63% of men and 0.36%
of women experience this type of color vision
de=ciency, many of whom don't even realize.
People with Deuteranomalia see a more subdued
color palette, especially when it comes to colors
like green and red.

Protanopia

When somebody has Protanopia, all shades of

green and red look rather faded, whereas yellow
and blue shades seem largely unaffected. Only
around 1% of men experience this type of CVD.

Tritanopia

When somebody has Protanopia, all shades of

green and red look rather faded, whereas yellow
and blue shades seem largely unaffected. Only
around 1% of men experience this type of CVD.

People with Tritanopia see colors with a

greenish/pink tone. It's a sporadic form of color
blindness and is believed to affect only 0.0001%
of men and women.

Total color blindness

(Monochromacy)

Total color blindness, or Monochromacy, is the

rarest form of color vision de=ciency. People who
have it can only see in black and white, but it's
estimated that only 0.00003% of the world's
population is affected by this particular
condition.

Of course anyone with some form of color
blindness isn't seeing any of these as they are. The
"normal vision" one should look to them like
whichever type of color-blindness they have.
