Are you colourblind?

Take the test here.

Saw this on this blog and it reminded me of a thread that we had on here a few days ago.

Is anyone?

No.

I think I should get my eyes tested.

I failed every single test, but I can see the colours, colour blind people typically cannot see(red IIRC).

Nope, everything is fine here

yes in the blue spectrum

Nope, perfect vision

Yeah, I failed at the optician the last time I went, I also failed all those tests in the link.

Maybe you are colourblind but are just angry all the time?

I'm colourblind in red and greens...and I'm the lead designer as well....hehe

Thus I use lots of blues in my mockups

I have known I was color blind from childhood.  My parents knew it when I told them the neighbors kept their grass nice an red. 

Most color blind people see color it just isn't the same as others see them.  For me a traffic light is red, orange and white.  I'm fine with very distinct primary colors, it is when you start to mix them that I have a problem. 

By the way, I really appreciate it when companies pick color schemes like red on green.

Looks like a dup got locked.  I've noticed alot of that going around lately.  I think it would be fun to be able to search for all locked threads and sort them by replies, then read through them and see who's throwing what at who.  JH's been busy

What's wrong with red on green?

It isn't a dupe, take the test and you'll see

I can confirm that W3bbo's thread is NOT a dupe.

Ditto. About W3bbo's test, that last one before the, uhm, thing, there was no number in that, was there? Because if there was, maybe I am colourblind.

I got the rest of the numbers right, and I also passed the test on this page with flying colours (pun intended) so I don't think I need to worry.

There was no number.

you can't take a test like the one I posted (nor any online one) seriously anyway, since colour-blindness requires accurate colours to be shown to the eyes and many computer monitors aren't calibrated for accurate colour.

True enough but obviously it's reasonably indicator as there does seem to be a correlation here between those who failed the test and those who are confirmed colourblind. Also can you really take anything online as serious?

No, not at all.

Nope, not colorblind.  I dont tend to take net tests, I trust my vision to professionals.
