#color acuity

[stormethecat]

I went to the eye doctor today and the verdict is in:

I am not color blind. "Not even a little bit. Not even a color deficiency."

The doc said that ⅛ men have troubles seeing differences between different tones of the same color (ie crimson/maroon vs red/green) but that "that doesn't matter." So yeah, I just don't have color acuity.

okay so im??? ok so they need to make a browser app for people with low color acuity (like me i have TERRIBLE color acuity) because when i try to find people’s sidebars and.. it’s a line of white??? when its apparently a pastel blue????? idk man its frustrating

Let's talk about color:

This is a color acuity test: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-well-do-you-see-color-173018

This is the score of a person who went to art school/has relatively normal, albeit blurry vision (me):

This is my friend's brain on colorblindness:

Scores on a 0 to 100 scale with a 0 being able to perfectly discern hues.  After the test it shows you what colors you cant discern as well.

I got a 27 on it.  Not too bad.  Already knew I couldn't discern blues as well due to my glasses...
