As an actual "color-blind" person that can't see the red spectrum very well at all, I am deeply offended.

I can see it, just not as well as most. It's sensitivity to the wave-length. When they are extreme primary colors, I can see and point them out no problem, I can't tell the difference between certain shades like between green and red, I screw up purple and blues ALL the time.

example -

I could only make out numbers in 3 of those, and one was a track and wrong.

and to illustrate what its like in reverse - I can see most of these, and supposedly, normal sighted people can't -

But on the positive side of things, I see great in almost no light. At night the little tiny (green?) LED in the GFCI wall outlet in my bathroom lights up enough for me to see.

Those supposedly "not readable by regulars" signs say no, right? I kinda see it but it requires a squint of an eye from me

I see the hidden "NO" pretty easily in the examples. in test 1, I see all 3 shapes, the test 2, i see just the square, in test 3 I see the circle.

THere are other better "reverse" tests to put it into perspective better, I just don't have them bookmarked.

I've never understood the red-green thing. They're extremely different colors. There's no red-green continuum. No version of red can ever look like green. Purples and blues? Fine. Those are very close to each other. But red shades into pink or orange or maroon or even purple. Never, ever green.

I drove a green car for years... didn't know it.

I only noticed one day when I lost my keys, and found the spare with a tag that said "GREEN CORSICA" on it... yes I bought a used Kermit the frog green Chevy Corsica in the 90s

Also, one of my brothers is 10x worse than I am, he can walk over grass and pick out 4 and 5 leaf clovers in about 1 minute.

Red is in blue to make purple. So if you can't see the red in it, it looks blue. I had a purple backpack for years and thought it was navy blue.

Red, of course... unless it Commie blood, then it's a river of joy!
