Are you colour blind?

Approx 20% of the white, male population and a tiny fraction of the female population are colour blind (Red-Green Colour Blindness being the most common).   Here’s a quick test to find out where you fit.

Take a look at the coloured circles below and see if you can identify the numbers contained within.  If you can correctly identify the numbers then you are not colour blind, and are considered to have normal colour vision. 

 

Below are the correct answers to what a person with normal color vision would see – and what most people with Red-Green color blindness see.   This may help you to understand why it’s so tough for colour blind people to find the right socks and why they like bright colors.

Normal Colour Vision

56               8
45               6
29               25

 

Red-Green Colour Blind

56               Spots
Spots         Spots
Spots         25

Here’s another simple test:

An individual with normal colour vision should see the number 5 emerge from the pattern, whereas an individual with red-green colour blindness should see the number 2.

*Please note that this is by no means a scientific exam and you should not take this information as gospel.  If you think you might be colour blind, you should see your GP and arrange for an eye exam.
