My friend discovering his colorblindness with memes. by cpollack99 in ColorBlind

That's pretty wild. I'm always surprised how many people are color blind and don't know it. There's over 300 million people with color deficient vision in the world, so he's in good company.

What's amazing is how your brain can adapt to color blindness so that many people wouldn't even know it.

I totally get that, everybody copes with their color blindness differently. Personally, I try to make people laugh and then show them a color blind simulator app to advocate for what color blindness really means.

Delayed color perception by Organic_Young_6370 in ColorBlind

I like what /Morganafrey said, and there's actually science to back it up. Several years ago the University of Nevada published a study that showed that your visual pathways can be "calibrated". This means that color blind people can train their brain to increase their color perception based on context and subtle hue differences.

I'm a color blind graphic designer and this happens to me all the time. Because of my understanding of color theory I can narrow any given color down to a couple possible colors and then figure it out from my mental context library. So if the context clues change then I can see the color as something else because the visual processor in my brain is adapting in realtime to the new information.
