#(Protanopia/protanomaly)

[child--ish]

Wait, is Leona colorblind? Because lions have a difficulty with differentiating red and brown, and seeing red in general, so would Leona be technically colorblind?

How did I not realize this even though I knew it about lions? Leona is fricking colorblind lol

Achromatopsia and general Color Blindness(1st), Tritanopia and Tritanomaly(2nd), Protanopia and Protanomaly(3rd), Deuteranopia and Deuteranomaly(4th)

It's pretty obvious why there isn't already color blindness flags, but I think there should be so I made some. the first is mainly for those with achromatopsia, but can also be used as an umbrella flag for all kinds of color blindness

The triangles represent the cones cells, and the white circle is for unseen colors. I figured that sense most flags are differentiated by colors that it would be important to make sure these had unique shapes instead.

We aren't color blind so if you are and have any suggestions feel free to tell us.

Just found out our phone has colourblindness filters, something none of our previous phones have had! Now we can actually tell apart different shades of colours in the red-yellow range! Our protanomaly is pretty mild but it's enough that colours in the red-yellow range are hard to tell apart due to looking brown or greenish without filters.

On Splinter and Colors

I know we all joke about Splinter giving the red-eared slider the nickname Blue and I agree that it is indeed a peak troll dad move, but consider-

This is what we see of the baby turtles in Goyles Goyles Goyles

And this is the same picture put through a colorblind filter showing protanomaly, or red deficiency

Through deuteranomaly, green deficiency

And through protanopia, total red blindness

Yeah, makes sense why Leo might be Blue.

(there's green blindness and blue deficiency/blindness as well, but Leo's eye bananas still looked red in those)

If you haven't gotten to high school physics yet or have forgotten that lesson: we have three cones in our eyes that respond to light of different wavelengths, perceiving the color red, green, and blue respectively. All the colors you perceive are a mixture of these cones receiving light and yelling at you. (except for purple, purple's kind of weird) (as is black and white, and magenta, and-there are a lot of non-spectral colors, actually) Color blindness occurs when one or more cones is bad at its job or not working, resulting in the eye having difficulty perceiving that wavelength or not being able to see it altogether.

Now, considering he did give another child Red, he most likely can tell some shades apart. So I doubt he's completely red-blind. But it's very possible that he's red-weak or green-weak colorblind and literally saw Leo as having blue stripes as an infant, because they were in a shade he had trouble seeing.

This could also explain why he wore yellow-tinted glasses. They might have literally helped him see better by filtering everything to a wavelength he could see more comfortably at.

But, you ask, why didn't the name 'red-eared slider' tip him off? Splinter's not a native English speaker. He's fluent, but it's his second language and it is very different from his first. English is a confusing and often contradictory language, so even if he realized that red-eared was meant to refer to the markings around their ears that were red-well, what does he know? English came up with all sorts of weird, misleading names for things. The black mamba isn't actually black, goldfish can come in all sorts of colors, and there's a frog called the mountain chicken. Who is he to argue?

[doctordeathawaits]

so uh idk how to really ask but like could you do trans colorblind tips for protanomaly :3 /nf

TRANS COLORBLINDNESS

Sadly - transitioning to being colorblind is very hard , so these will mainly be euphoria / affirming tips < 3

Training yourself to mix up colors ! So example would be , if you are trans-protanopia , you'd train yourself to know that red - yellow - green are the same , which is why when asked for a red color , you'd know to pass either the green or yellow color ! Here a guide for specific types :

Affirming apps ! Using colorblindness simulating apps can be euphoric ! Some of those are Color Oracle , Sim Daltonism !

Surrounding yourself with only the colors that your colorblindess can see ! So if you are trans-tritanopia , surround yourself by red and blue !

The only other way of transition being possible is through degeneration , or head trauma - yet even then it's rare to acquire colorblindness through that , which is why i choose to not include it .

I hope this was good enough and would help atleast a bit <3

[lifesteal-headcanons]

clownpierce is colorblind (specifically protanomaly) and no one knows it so people get so confused when he messes up colors (protanomaly is a sub type of protanopia which mean inside of him being 100% red blind he just has red weakness) and I find it funny because he has red on his outfit when he can't even see it correctly — 🍒🤡 anon

(this headcanon is coming from someone who has protanomaly)

[the-ace-with-spades]

I've mentioned it before a few times but I do headcanon Ice as color-blind.

It's come to my attention (by @strangelove97, hope you don't mind me tagging you??) that flying planes while color-blind is not exactly possible and I was a bit curious how come since I assumed american eyesight regulations would be similar to the ones my own grandfather had to pass for his pilot licenses (military&civilian). I'm going on a limb here and have overthought everything, so whoever is reading this, bare with me and I'll explain why I find the idea of Ice being color-blind so entrancing.

pictures/examples used here might not be 100% accurate as there are different degrees of color blindness, within each type, I'm merely using photoshop to demonstrate the general idea

The most common color blindness is the red-green type which affects your perception of green and red wavelengths of visible light. I'll try not to go too deep into color theory here, but the majority of colors are not just one hue but rather have percentages of different hues mixed in, too, so it's never affecting only pure red and green, but also colors that are tinted with red and green, i.e. reddish brown, sea blue, etc.

There are mild forms of red color blindness - deuteranomaly (makes red look more green and less bright), protanomaly (affects only saturation of green and red); and slightly more severe protanopia and deuteranopia (which make it hard to tell green and red apart). Displayed below is deuteranopia (left - normal vision):

In aviation, most navigation in the dark is based on red and green, the standard for runway lights is red for runway approach, end lights, and for precision approach lights, green for runway threshold lights and taxiway centerlines, and different warmths of white light for the rest, with the exception of some yellow edge lines at the end of the runway.

In civilian aviation, even with red-green color blindness, you could have a pilot license limited to only flying during daylight. However, even if we look at basic carrier landings for USN, it's virtually impossible with red-green color blindness --- the optical landing system used especially on carriers (but also on some land bases) is dependent on red and green lights; and out of all the lights, including landing markings on the deck, only the carrier edge is lightened up by blue.

Ice's color blindness is not the red-green type.

I based my headcanon on the colorblindness that runs in my family, which is the yellow-blue type, that affects anything that has a tinge of yellow or blue wavelengths --- which makes it hard to tell the difference between blue and green, purple and red, and yellow and pink. It also can make colors look less bright as yellow is the color that usually is responsible for increased saturation (in simplified terms). This will not affect most of the lights and colors used in aviation in a major way -- you'll still be able to pass the eye tests, especially if you 'train' yourself a little bit.

Now, why do I like this headcanon for Ice so much?

My dad saw the sky and the grass as the same color, but different shades - green. In general, with blue-yellow blindness, your world gets greener and more pinkish, just because, as I said, yellow impacts the saturation of many things, including natural light. Blue is responsible for a similar thing. Think like color correcting - blue and yellow are opposite on the color wheel.

Now, the USN (and military in general, probably??) use very specific shades for uniforms, paints, machinery, etc. It's like this washed-out green with underlying, de-saturated, you know what I mean.

This is the color-picked shade of their uniforms in the original Top Gun, a darker shade, and a pic that has a clear view of Mav's eyes:

Now, various lighting will make the above shades different, either warmer or cooler, or more washed out or brighter - for example, said shade #435D52, is made of ~ 27% red, 38% green, 33% blue, coldness and warmth of shades is manipulated by the type of light wavelength you receive alongside the primary hue wavelength, blue and yellow. So to make those shades different depending on saturation/light, you would need to be able to see yellows and blue. Striped down of blue, colors rely on black for darkness and mix it with the raw, untinted green hue.

Ice can't see yellow or blue, so that leaves him with that raw untined green.

And Mav's eyes are just the right type of green - the raw, untined green.

On top of that human irises change color only after prolonged exposure to light (spots of brown melanin in the iris) and flick the light off, reflecting it rather than absorbing the wavelength with a different than primary hue, thus staying the same shade. So Mav's eyes aren't affected by black, shadows aside.

So, most of everything around Ice, basically, whether he is outside with the open sky, or in a training room, or confined to the carrier, or just surrounded by people in flight suits -- is in the shade of Mav's eyes.

Which makes Ice go bonkers at the beginning, obviously, because he is trying not to think about that tiny cocky asshole and can't stop seeing the shade of his eyes.

But as the years go on, and they stay together, and they keep on loving each other, it becomes a form of comfort, that the shade of Mav's eyes is everywhere.

instant top 10 artist. also finding out ted is protanopic made me switch my phone to protanomaly mode and it's very strange

ayyy this is late but thank youuu!! it is interesting, for the protanopia gag in the new episode i put photoshop on protanopia mode and it was interesting to see for sure!!! god bless

[oceanlandworld]

note that for the purposes of this poll, "colorblind" includes deuteranomaly, protanomaly, and tritanomaly as well as deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia, and achromatopsia

[augmentedpolls]

Information on the types ^^

choosing colors for the deck

these were the colors I chose to test the reason as why its blurry is because it is done in pixel art. I then put this into a color blind test to see if they were a good pick or if I had to change the colors. I have shown friends this but I am still not sure if these are ok or I need to repick the colors.

I'm preparing to write my gymnasiearbete (a kind of practice essay Swedish schools require for acceptance to universities) on the topic of colour blindness and the sRGB colour space. If you are colour blind and have the time, it would be a huge help if you could fill out the survey I made! 

It takes around 10 min to complete and is aimed at anyone with any type of colour blindness. If you have any questions or suggestions for improvement, I'd be happy to help!

In the process of creating my last post, It seems I accidentally created a surprisingly good colorblind palette, so I refined it. I don't usually toot my own horn, but this is (at least, according to my own tools, which I admittedly have no way to verify the accuracy of) one of the clearest colorblindness palettes I have ever seen that doesn't look like poop for us normal trichromats. I'm looking at you, GTA 5 team colors.

It should be noted that these colors are incredibly fragile, especially to protanopia. Even a slight change in hue significantly damages discernability between at least two colors.

Admittedly, this palette does not hold up for total achromats, but that can easily be fixed with some simple brightness adjustments.

I am releasing this palette into the public domain, but be sure to let me know if these colors have been tread before, as well as whether or not they function as my filters say they do.

[ghoulangerlee]

it really is! and yeah, i think for a lot of people, and especially speaking from personal experience, knowing that there are different degrees to all of the mentioned (blindness, deafness, colorblindness) would have helped me a lot when i was younger. esp when it came to me losing a percentage of my own hearing in the 4th grade. i think I would have adjusted a bit better to it all if someone had just taught me early on what deafness was and how to navigate life with it.

yeah it differs with each type! red-green has four subtypes:

Deuteranomaly: mild and most common type that make certain shades of green look red

Protanomaly: mild type that makes certain shades of red look more green and less bright

Protanopia and deuteranopia: unable to tell the diff between red and green at all

blue-yellow has two subtypes:

Tritanomaly: unable to tell the difference between blue and green and red and yellow

Tritanopia: unable to tell the difference between blue and green and purple and red and yellow and pink and it makes colors less bright (i have this one)

and then ofc you can also be completely color deficient and this is called monochromacy or achromatopsia and this is where where you see in grayscale and you also typically have other issues as well like low vision and sometimes rapid eye movements, and light sensitivities

so its very widely different and there's a lot that goes into it.

im incredibly thankful that im able to joke about my own colorblindness and navigate life with it even if sometimes its very annoying like. I didn't think my colorblindness would affect having an IT job but??? i worked on a spreadsheet last year and it was so incredibly hard to differentiate the data because of the sheer amount of blues and greens used??

can I ask what flavor of colorblind you are?

oh yeah def! I'm blue-yellow colorblind! there are two i guess subtypes? I have the type where it makes it hard to tell the difference between blue and green, yellow and pink, and red and purple it also makes the colors look....not as bright? idk how to really describe it because they look i guess normal for me haha

but yeah, its been like this my whole life and it was very confusing growing up bc i'd only ever heard of total colorblindness and red-green colorblindness so i had no idea there was even another type out there
