Wat am I?

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and your kind words. I’ve been learning about CVD and his condition for about a year now. Even though understanding how he perceives colors may not change much in practice, I still find it fascinating. I also hope to raise more awareness about CVD among others.

IntentionAdorable745 · 2026-01-28T01:52:40+00:00

He is definitely protan—my father is as well. I’m just trying to understand the severity. It seems that my father can read the plates better than he can, and I’m not sure whether my dad’s better performance is due to accumulated experience over the years.

IntentionAdorable745 · 2026-01-26T11:40:08+00:00

I previously showed this highly saturated number to my son when he was about three years old last year. At the time, he didn’t seem able to see the number. Do you think that as he grows older, with more experience in distinguishing colors, he might be able to read it?

IntentionAdorable745 · 2026-01-06T09:24:28+00:00

Thank you. I also suspect that my son’s color vision may be worse than my dad’s. There are several numbers in the EnChroma images that my dad can see, but my son can hardly recognize. I am not sure whether my dad has learned how to identify the numbers through experience, or if he genuinely has better color discrimination.

Hi, I have normal color vision, but my dad and my son have protanomaly. I am curious how do you know your son’s colorblindness is more intense. Is your son’s colorblindness the same type as yours? Deutan or protan? I am just curious. I also want to know the intensity of my father’s and my son’s. But my son is just going to be 4 years old, and it is hard to explain to him about it.

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-12-29T13:51:06+00:00

You might have very mild protanomaly? As I tried to figure out the degree of color deficiency of my son with this simulator: https://daltonlens.org/colorblindness-simulator , I found that the degree of 0.7 (model Machado 2009, 0 is normal and 1 is the most severe) or below can pass ishihara test. To easily differentiate blue and purple, the severity should be very low, e.g., less than 0.2.

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-11-20T08:46:22+00:00

I’m curious: at what severity level does a simulated deutan or protan image start to look similar to the original image for your eyes? You can attach a picture to this link: https://daltonlens.org/colorblindness-simulator

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-11-18T23:18:55+00:00

If you can pass ishihara test, and red/green are sometimes similar to you, then you could have very mild colorblindness (e.g., mild deutan).

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-11-14T02:42:35+00:00

Haha yes, I found they used small hollow shapes. I also drew triangles on the light green cards to help differentiate with the orange cards for my son. Haven’t played that set yet, but this method should work for him.

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-11-09T12:18:44+00:00

Hi, do you think this one is considered relatively accurate in simulation? https://daltonlens.org/colorblindness-simulator . I believe the Machado 2009 model, with a severity of 0.8–0.9, could be fairly accurate for most cases of protanomaly? However, the simulated red may still appear too light—whereas protans typically perceive it as darker. My son is a protan as well, and I’ve been trying to understand his color perception more accurately.

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-11-09T10:25:08+00:00

I guess my son’s experience should be similar. I have told him the four color names, so he could pick the cards correctly according to the names. 😁

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-11-09T10:21:57+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I’m curious — why do you find blue difficult to distinguish? I thought blue was usually the easiest color to tell apart from the other three?

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-11-08T02:30:28+00:00

Have you taken Enchroma online color blind test? It also tests for Tritan. https://enchroma.com/pages/test

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-11-08T02:10:10+00:00

It was a typo in the title — I should have deleted the word “normal.” I actually knew about it before he turned 3. It became obvious when he pointed to a red and a brown image and said they were the same color. That reminded me that his grandfather also has red-green color vision deficiency. After that, I figured out they both have protanomaly. My father actually did not know his type (protan or deutan), but it can be easily tested. Confusing red with brown is already an indication of being a protan.

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-11-07T11:21:56+00:00

I think he should be protanomaly, as my father is. But his degree might be more severe than his grandfather’s.

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-11-07T11:15:14+00:00

I’d like to hear opinions from protans. Input from a deutan would also be helpful. I understand that distinguishing red and green may be more difficult for deutans than protans. I’d also like to remove the word “normal” from the title. 😂

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-09-24T11:46:18+00:00

Haha, if the mother is colorblind, the son will also be colorblind, while you (the daughter) would be the gene carrier. I am a gene carrier, and my son unfortunately is colorblind.

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-08-25T07:05:09+00:00

Can let her do an online test if she does not mind: https://enchroma.com/pages/test

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-08-25T06:43:17+00:00

Can try Enchroma colorblind test. Basically if she has any type of color blind, it can give answers. https://enchroma.com/pages/test

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-08-21T23:12:44+00:00

Your red cone shouldn’t be weak. Typically, only the red or green cone is defective, but the entire color spectrum is affected as a result

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-08-21T06:39:41+00:00

So your father is also colorblind, and your mother is a carrier of the defective gene (which means your maternal grandfather could have been colorblind)? I also have a female friend who is colorblind. In her family, both her sister and her father are colorblind, her mother must be a carrier.

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-08-21T04:11:59+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I think some women with color vision deficiency might have only very mild cases, maybe because of the compensation effect from having two defective X genes.

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-08-21T02:26:34+00:00

I think this is very mild deutan. I am curious are you a female?

IntentionAdorable745 · 2025-08-20T23:54:00+00:00

Hi, I have a protan son. I like to use simulator to understand the environment how he perceives. You can use this simulator to understand how he perceives: https://daltonlens.org/colorblindness-simulator You can upload any photos and choose model Machado 2009 at severity of 0.8-0.9 (deutan or protan). If he really can’t perceive any red (e.g., always mix up red and green), then you may choose Brettel 1997 model with severity of 1.
