Interesting colorblindness pictures

These are supposed to be "simulated" pictures of how colorblind people see. I'm colorblind, and they all look the same to me (except the 4th one), so I guess they're accurate to some extent. I thought it was interesting.

It's hard to comprehend that other people see stuff I don't.

not all colorblindness is the same, some can be really black-white, but others just have trouble with green and red, so not everyone whos colorblind sees like this

(you'd be amazed how many people you know are colorblind)

We had a colorblindness test in my biology class for red/green. We were shown those dotted diagrams and they had two numbers hidden in them and we were supposed to write down the first one we saw. 1/2 the time I saw the one no one else saw along with partially seeing the correct one, i'm apprently partially red/green colorblind.

there are 3 types of colourblindness, one for each photopigment in the eye that can be deficient

colorblindness is nuts. Almost every color has to look a little different cause most have a little red or green in them.

Look at blue-orange and yellow-purple (also complementary colors) Can even you imagine a difference between the mix of blue and yellow (green) and orange and purple (red)?

i was playing my friend in mario party (the one where that little guy raises a flag with a color on it and your supposed to jump onto the hexagon with that color or you loose) and he was so pissed off because two of the colors looked the same to him, in the context it was funny but not in a mean way.

I'm definately colourblind, but aside from the dot picture (I could see a difference, but no numbers or anything) and all those pictures looked different to me. Apparently I just suck at the tests.
