Color blind awareness! 3 wives surprise their husbands with EnChroma glasses Stockholm Sweden 

The guys were like Ok, yeah, cool, whatever... I want to imagine them, later on, closed in the bathroom crying while reading a comic book...

The comparisons were a great way of helping understand what it’s like. Well done

Very well presented video and to me the reaction of these men are so very Swedish and quiet which is kind of expected and charming in their way.

Thank for the comparisons! Now I can really see what it’s like.

The most anti-climactic reaction I've ever seen......

TANKE YOU ENCHROMA FOR my NEW VISION OF LIFE!

For over a week I have been studying videos like this because my husband is colourblind, and is an amateur artist....a naive artist perhaps because his colours are a bit off. He grew tiny Roma tomatoes this year and never knows when to pick them except that they might look darker. He does paintings of around our home and garden and last week finished one which had a small patch of tomato plants in the scene, and the garden painting is wonderful, but he told me he guessed what the red was like and put lots of red dots all over the plant! I've ordered his enchroma glasses and here in Australia it's summer so he will finally see our large garden and a sunset and all things in colour....even tomatoes. I've not seen what he sees before this....all those dead colours. It makes me feel so sad, it breaks my heart. I will film him maybe in a week..I can't wait! Thank you for your heartfelt and poignant story of your husband's experiences and yours with them.

I learned a lot about being color blind that I never knew. These videos usually just show the reaction of people but this one shows how the colorblind people see stuff so that’s cool. Plus glad I’m not colorblind!

I'm hoping that in private these men showed more appreciation.

Cool video. A bit of a "ok, now what?" feel with their reactions....but I'm hearing it's because they're Swedish (I think). Do one with a Texan, a Bostonian and a dude from Detroit. That! Will be an awesome "watch this" video.😄

A very emotional moment in a swedish couple: swedish wife: my love, i have a surprise. I am pregnant. swedish husband: really? how nice... swedish wife: yes,... we are going to have our first kid ... swedish husband: yeapp! swedish wife: are you happy? swedish husband: yes, i am. .. but lets heat the dinner, i am starving.

Interesting video as many other color blind videos are. However the most impressive thing to me is how the Swedes have mastered the English language, better than many Americans.

What it's really like to be colorblind: 1) You have an anxiety attack when you approach a traffic light, hoping that you will be able to distinguish among the slight color differences. 2) Similarly, you're driving down a street and you're surprised when one of the street lights suddenly turns yellow (or is it red?). 3) You look at the map on the TV weather report and try to figure out which type of warning your location is in, because the weatherman is claiming that there are multiple colors on the map. 4) You look at a diagram which shows where to connect each of the different colored wires, but all of your wires are one of only two colors. 5) Etc.

I was expecting more of a response from them all

I love the comparison pictures! There is a beauty in how they see the world, but to see it all is amazing.

All 3 of those men are holding their emotions back and that is what is wrong with the male culture.

Great wives!

I’m sure they got emotional in private at home in a locked room on their own. Good grief those dark winters months are problematic.

The song was beautiful. Hope they enjoy colors like we do.

As a colour blind person, the comparisons are interesting. At first I thought them useless as they were obviously different but by midway through the video, almost all of them basically looked the same. Sometimes I could see that the red had been muted like in the dog and balloons photo but the paintings and the cityscapes basically all look the same to me... hmm... My kids make fun of me when I screw up... and we all have a good laugh but it would be nice to see what the rest of you all see.

What an uplifting video, thank you!

The guys were less than excited....like yeah, whatever

So welly produced and thought out.. such a gooooooooood job with this.. Simply amazing and I've seen hundreds of these videos.. Love from DC

I am so happy for the 3 guys, and also for their loved ones as they can all enjoy the wonders of our colorful world together!

Great job guys and thanks for the comparisons but whatever you do never ever sit me next to these three guys at a party! 😂😂😂

wow this was the best "seeing color reaction" video ive seen yet! thanks for putting the effort in trying to show what he sees too, its so hard to imagine what color blind people see

Lovely video. I wish, though, that more time was given to their reactions, which are the really emotional part of watching. X

Very cool, but also funny whenever the comparison pictures came up, they looked identical to me! I should get a pair of these glasses!

Wonderful!!!

Excellent video. You really can't appreciate what they are living with, unless you can see it for yourself.

🤣Stoic Swedes. Nothing can shake a Viking!😂

I've seen so many of these videos and the colorblind trying to explain how they see...so to see your examples put it in another category and helps ppl see what they actually see so thank you for the video 🕊️💗 from Georgia USA

Nice to have buddies to experience it with you. I think I've seen that plaza in a flash-mob video.

“What are these gray balloons?”😢😢😢 they were being for real ❤ God bless everyone

Did you notice much difference between the indoor and outdoor glasses, were the outdoor ones more vibrant with colours?

Now make something like this for monoscopics - people like me who cannot see in three dimensions. To us, the entire world is flat, like looking at a screen where a movie is projected. Nothing is solid. Make us something that will bring the world to life.

That was about as exciting as a cardboard box.

To see the world with 90% more color has got to be like re-discovering 90% of the world one thought they already knew.

53 people need to check themselves...really lacking compassion! Love these happy moments in a very sad and strange wOrld!

I'm always impressed by these people speaking flawless idiomatic English. It's astonishing!

With the comparison photos, they look the same to me! I wish I could see normal colors!!!

Great awareness video! I had no idea color blindess was like this!

Happy New Year in Color's

A MOMENT IN TIME----PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this! :D

I expected a little more excitement from the guys, didn`t seem all that impressed.

Hello, my name is Arun, I am from Nepal, I am also color blind because of this color blindness, now I have lost many good jobs.

Stoic Swedes! Nice video to raise awareness. Good looking families too!

I got more emotional than those guys.. lol.. I feel like a wimp now.. thank you guys very much

Oh they didn’t cry. They are so calm

We need glasses to take away color, so we can be so much more appreciative for our color vision. I love these stories of love❤

Every time I put on my sunglasses and I can see reds become more rich & vibrant I think about how lucky I am to be able to see colour at all. Bizarrely I’ve never known or taught anyone with colourblindness, I’ll re phrase that to no one who knew they were. 1 in 200 Is a lot!

They should make glasses for people who can see color that makes the see the world as a colourblind person

Now we know why the Grinch hated Christmas! All he needed was Enchroma glasses!

I think the guys might have had more of a reaction, if they had received them in the context that they had needed to see color more. Like the guy seeing tomatoes, other guy cooking a stake & the guy on his boat seeing the bouy colored lights & the ocean water. Loved the pic comparisons & the stats on colorblindness!

Sophia roasting Michael for not being able to tell rare from well done is probably a sign of a good marriage! She loves her husband enough to get a light jab at him and not have it come across as vindictive.

What a good looking group of people!

Thank you for this video....Im aware now what color blind is....

Do they work at night when it is darker out?

Var köpte ni glasögonen någonstans? Jag är intresserad av ett par.

I love these people!

WW2 Colour deficient people were used as spotters from planes because they can find edges easier then normal vision. From birth the eyes are lacking in the red green spectrum so the brain washes everything together. When you are not distracted by colour you learn to spot edges in a flat surface, just like the mushrooms. Then they mentioned how the distances changed, (ie depth perception). Being suddenly able to see colours they realize things are not as flat as they thought. Its quite fascinating to see because so many have the very same reaction. You will notice they dont use the word shades because they dont see much but grey or brown. The real proof that they worked is when they say "do you guys see this all the time" or "is this what you guys can see?") Ten percent of males are colour deficient but only one in two hundred females will have it. The females have a backup set of genes to fill in for any damaged or missing DNA and is also the reason why so many males like my son have Autism. Any videos of women trying these glasses is worth gold, they usually turn to mush get weak in the knees and cry like babies.

So much preparing the surprise and none of the three showed any emotion hahaha

The underrated invention..

Muito bom. Interessante como os europeus não expressam suas emoções, parecem feitos de pedra!!

Very underwhelming reactions.

These guys didn't seem to be particularly impressed at all by their news glasses.

🤔😅 Which huuuuge Happyness...they ruined the whole Clip, with their cold Reactions...😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣

Every time I watch videos where people are like, "That building is so red!" I just think -- how would you know that building was red without asking someone, if you've never seen red before?? Bizarre.

I really wish I could get these for my son! His dad was color blind so he didn’t have a chance. He wanted to be a pilot.

I couldn't see any difference between the two photo comparisons because I have red green colour blindness. ☹️

They don't seem very excited ! Long video waiting for a great reaction but almost nothing happened.

They weren’t as emotional as other people I have seen in videos.

Yeah, I was expecting a bigger reaction, and, it was just as full as their view of the world they are used to..

what about tritan type it is bleu and yellow trouble

Why are they speak Eanglish so good... I know Nordic people's speak 4-5 languages..but they speak good much better then in Finland

Dang it, the ninjas are slicing onions again.

This should be possible using a computer program that would change the colors on the screen

Lykke til i Sverige 😎👍

Pretty amazing.

Red and green are opposite colours. Ig makes sense that people can’t see both in a natural way

This video is more about the wives than the husbands.

Typically Swedish ppl reaction

I wasn't aware of how it also affected the perception of distances! Thank you for sharing this!

I need colour blind glasses

The normal pictures and color blind pictures are identical in color to me

The video is not to raise awareness, it's an advertisement, be honest.

7:18 " I haven't tried . . . I haven't been picking mushrooms . " also, 5:49 without? "I have no idea, it's my only life" We humans have 100+ Super Powers. I've heard of how people with some "lack" tend to compensate with other strengths, but I'd never heard of the mushroom super power before. Interesting ! Do you imagine that snakes pity humans since we can't see thermally ? B-)

Why do people always ask the same ill considered questions. If you've only lived in the Sahara, it's silly to ask if you've ever missed snow. Then, when you change someone's objective reality, to ask them "what do you see" when they need to literally stop and spend the next twenty minutes processing and assimilating a significant paradigm change, is at best shortsighted.

👏👏👏👏👏

This was my very favorite of all the Enchroma videos right up until the big reveal. Kind of anti-climactic. LOL

Hanno avuto una reazione molto....Svedese.

Hey, let’s bring these guys who’ve never seen color to the middle of a town square surrounded by buildings with no nature around. 🙄 Whose idea was that?? If ya learn one thing from all these enchroma clips is that the most emotion colorblind people feel is when they see things in nature more. Trees, bushes, flowers, skyline. They barely had a reaction to them cuz of where u brought them. And ya add this music to make it seem more emotional.

So they see the world like dogs do? Interesting. Do they make these glasses for dogs?

great video, music and colors!

Some cool ass dude’s 🎯

How do color blind people know color

They put the glasses on at 7:35

Lucky men
