#colour blindness

[bethanydelleman]

This may not be an issue many people think about, but about 8% of the male population is colour blind (about 4.5% of humans total). Colour blind usually meaning you have trouble distinguishing between red and green. Despite this being a fairly high percentage, my partner, who is colour blind, frequently encounters board games and video games he cannot play because they rely on colour vision. An easy example is Uno, where you need to play either a matching colour or number. If you can't tell apart the colours, it's very hard to play.

So kudos to this new print of Uno for adding those little symbols for the colour blind:

I will also thank Ticket to Ride for using symbols as well as colours:

There are several boardgames that I have marked with permanent marker so my partner can play them. It's a small added design feature to have symbols matching colours but it makes a big difference.

Colour accessibility poll

This poll is for colourblind people and others with colour related accessibility needs, such as migraines caused by eyestrain, poor vision, possibly epilepsy? etc.

Which of these Tumblr text colour options is the easiest to both read and distinguish from the default text (based on your preferred settings)

The point is that there's enough contrast that you can easily tell that it's a different colour, AND that it's easy to read text in that colour (and if there are multiple options that are equally good, feel free to just pick whichever looks the nicest)

The colour doesn't have to be distinguishable from other colours, although that's a bonus

Red - Default

Green - Default

Blue - Default

Orange - Default

Pink - Default

Purple - Default

Which colour is the best for you?

Red and I have an accessibility need

Green and I have an accessibility need

Blue and I have an accessibility need

Orange and I have an accessibility need

Pink and I have an accessibility need

Purple and I have an accessibility need

None of them are good options and I have an accessibility need

I don't have accessibility needs, I just want to be included

If you want to elaborate on your answer, feel free to put it somewhere in the notes of this post, replies, reblogs, tags, anything goes

I'll reblog this again with a separate poll just for colour preferences so everybody gets to vote and hopefully that'll make people less likely to mess with the results just for the sake of expressing their own opinions

Lakan's blue rose challenge was definitelly a test to figure out if the Emperor (and Jinshi) was colour blind.

My proof?

My red-green colour blind grandfather grows blue roses.

It is just that for everyone else (outside one of my male cousin) those rose look more like magenta.

Saddly, I can't go and take a picture of the actual roses but I did find an image of similar ones and run it through a protanopia filter to give you a good enough understanding of what my grandfather sees vs what everyone else sees.

My point is, for a "descendant of the Queen Mother" (aka person with red-green colour blindness) the concept of blue roses is neither impossible nor even novel.

Meaning, there is a high chance that a colour blind Emperor would have seen blue roses before and definitelly wouldn't be impressed by Jinshi's gift outside seeing roses off season.

I mean: this what those roses would have looked like for any colour blind person who saw them (ignore random Lakan).

Make a wild guess which one of these roses is the violet one

Colour blindness in Murder Drones

can we talk about how colour blindness is very common in Murder Drones.

In all the POV shots, the only character who see's colours is Doll while Uzi, N, and Kenzie Day are all colourblind (specifically cone monochromacy). We also know Alice isn't colourblind since she identified Nori's yellow eyes.

So when Uzi's eye(s) turn yellow or bleeds blood instead of oil; no one points it out because most characters wouldn't be able to tell.

Edit. if you look in the reblogs, I've done a lot more investigating and found N is colour blind but not Uzi. Check it out.

Sitting on the dock.

Originally completed on 24th December 2022.

My interpretation: This piece is loosely inspired by the song sitting on the dock of the bay by Ottis Redding and the book voices by Ursula K LeGuin.

A young man sits on the end of a dock and catches fish for his breakfast while the village across the water starts to prepare for the day of work ahead of it. A fishing boat picks up sail and heads out of the shallow swamps to more open waters where the fishing is better.

James Potter was red-green colourblind so all the hcs about him accidentally wearing Regulus’ tie to breakfast are entirely accurate. That shit happened daily.

Hi. I feel like as a colour blind person with poor eyesight I should talk about how inaccessible Hazbin Hotel and Helluva boss are.

THIS is how Hazbin Hotel looks to me (give or take, once again COLOUR BLIND). This is bad. This is REALLY bad. When your series is really hard to watch for people with VERY COMMON DISORDERS, you need to work on designing characters. Please. Really, this is horrible! It’s not even that hard, just change the colours up a bit.
