Are You Color Blind?
Take a Color Blindness Test
to find out!

Do you have color blindness? It's easy to find out: tell me what you see here.



If you can't make out the '6', '0' or '4' in the 3 circles of this Ishihara color chart respectively, chances are, you have protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia.

What's that again? Haha, I don't mean to be too scientific here. Protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia are just terms to describe people's inability to distinguish between red-green, blue-yellow, and the green range respectively.

When someone is blind to colors, he/she is not able to distinguish between different colors.

Men are almost 20 times more likely to suffer from this than women. That makes about 8% of the male population and 0.5% of the female population. This is largely because women will only be affected if both parents have the defective gene.

While this eye problem is usually passed down through the genes, some may acquire it too if they suffer from certain degenerative eye disease.

People who have such eye disorders are usually only partially blind to colors and find it difficult to tell the difference between green and red.

Those who are completely color blind can only see in black and white, as well as different shades of grey.

However, this eye problem has nothing to do with visual acuity. So unless you are looking for a job where being able to recognize colors is important (like those traffic related ones), this shouldn't pose a big problem to you.
