What It's Like To Be Color Blind 

Fun fact: Facebook's main colors are blue and white because the creator is red/green color blind!

it is funny because I am colorblind and I'm trying to watch a color-blind video

I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO MY COLOR BLIND FRIEND BECAUSE WHEN I WAS A CHILD I USED TO THINK THAT HE COULD ONLY SEE BLACK AND WHITE AND ASK HIM THE COLOR OF RANDOM STUFF!

I am colour blind and people always say 'what colour is this' and they point to something that is clearly a certain colour, i then say the correct colour and they say 'you're not colour blind then' and i'm like >.

People who think you can't see color, or yell WHAT COLOR IS THIS! are so annoying. Knock it off.

I'm not color blind, but it annoys me when every body believes color blind people only see black and white, and when I tell them that thats not true, they are shocked.

I'm not even color blind and I always thought the man was green

but the real question is.. do they see the dress white and gold or black and blue

Everytime I say that I am colorblind I ALWAYS get asked "What is this color?" Those 4 words are pretty annoying to me xD

There are many types of colour blindness.

I'm color blind too, deuteropia they say. The hardest thing of being a color blind is when doing Medical Checkup when applying for a JOB. Most companies in my country they dont accept color blind people, when they found out that I am a color blind, and then BAM. I lost the job opportunity because of the "color blind" things. It happen to me once, and later I figure it out to trick the color blind test when doing medical checkups. But still, studying color blind test to trick it is not an easy thing, its super hard!

A weird experience: We were lost and we're handed a black and white map of the campus. Someone used a pink highlighter and drew the path to get to our destination. As we walked away, the color-blind person said "I wish they would had used a better marker; I can't even see the path." Who would have guessed a highlighter would blend in. It must have looked light grey, or something. It was as bright as day to me.

Is it possible to explain a colour to someone. Like what if a blind guy says "what does purple look like" what could be said to explain it?

Ironically this is buzzfeed-blue

When I tell people I'm colorblind: 5 ah that's cool 95 "points at object" WHAT COLOR IS DIS

29 to 33 seconds his shirt is hypnotizing me lol

my art teacher is color blind. i found that very amazing

teacher: Jarno read the red sentence me: um ... teacher: come on! me:*guesses and reads the red one* true story

i had to explain to my step dad (hes 39 btw) two days ago that penut butter was brown and not green

Whenever I tell people I'm color blind they look at the nearest thing and say what color is that. Then I tell them and they're like you're not color blind, but I am. The struggle lol I'm sure other people can relate if you're color blind

You guys must hate Skittles.

Buzzfeed, pls ask your colorblind staff to react to wearing ENCHROMA glasses for the first time!!

why am I trying to watch what it's like to be color blind when I am

I wonder what color they think the dress is

I wonder how colorblind people see the dress.

Getting color-blind people a Rubix Cube for Chrsitmas. ;)

In one of my classes, the teacher always made you grade in green if you were grading your own work. This one time, he ran out of green pens, so he just brought out a box of random colored pencils and said just grab a green one. My colorblind friend was standing there for like five minutes just reading all of the labels and then went up to the teacher like Mr. Harmon, is this green? And the teacher was like do u not know ur colors?? The whole class was silent and then he was like.... Uh I'm colorblind....

0:30 is that connor franta's lost brother?

Having these people say "it's not actually that big of a deal" is extremely comforting. I carry red-green colour blindness, so I have a 50/50 chance of passing it to my son. So this is very comforting to hear that my son will be able to live a normal life if he is colour blind :)

What color did they see the dress?!

Roses are red But you might think it's gray Some people are colorblind And that is perfectly ok. 😊👍🏼👍🏼

Fun fact: There is a type of color blindness where people see no color at all, only black and white, called achromatopsia, but it's extremely rare.

I have a friend in school, 11th grade, and when he draws anything with color he usually gets the colors close but sometimes in a weird shade and then when I tell him the colors are a little bit off he just hits me with the "IM COLORBLIND".. Gets me every time..

I feel bad for a person with colorblindness who accidentally eats a red apple? Red apples are disgusting.

I dated a guy that was color blind and it took some getting used to on my part. I had to learn to stop asking him to hand me that red shirt and stuff like that. For him it didn't seem to bother him that much, he had his clothes labeled with what color they were so he would know if they matched which was a good idea. I didn't mind helping out when I could.

We`re all colourblind in a sense, because our eyes cant see ultraviolet light... Unlike some animals...

who else has wondered if for example my "blue" is your "pink" but we all can communicate about them the same because thats how we learned the names of them. or you can see other colors that i cannot se but i can see colors you can't see. my head hurts ;( ....

I have a friend who's partly colorblind. He has an orange cat that he says looks green.

"I doesn't really matter" ...unless you want to be a pilot, join the air force, do any job in the military that has to do with electronics, mechanics, and aviation, be an artist, electronic engineer etc.

I hate when people don't believe that I'm color blind

So, I'm red-green colorblind and here's a discussion with me and a friend about colorblindness: Friend: So you are colorblind? Me: Yes... F: So you see black and white, like dogs? M: **facepalm** F: So that's a yes? M: No! Colorblind people see colors, but not all shades and we can't distinguish some colors! That doesn't mean we can't see colors at all. F: Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhh. I understand. So you can't distinguish colors? M: **mimics that he shoots himself** So for the last time people, colorblind people can see colors, but can't distinguish some shades!

I'm colour blind and it's no big deal

One thing that is crazy is that all the colors may look different to everyone and we will never know. We're just used to that one color is called something. Something green may look blue to some people but they are just used to that it is called green. AND WE WILL NEVER KNOW THAT!

They need to get those new glasses.

Now this is going to blow you're minds! What if people that a colour blind are actually seeing the right colours People that aren't colour blind are seeing the wrong colours! So these rare amount of people that are "colour blind" are actually seeing the true colours!

as an artist I paint and draw in different types of mediums. and it gets really frustrating when the instructions at school tell you that you're not using the right color or they question you why are you using that specific color in life drawing class. I cant see the color red so it affects every type of form of color i see . usually my paintings or drawings come out muted in color or i tend to use more cool colors. it's strange because I have a love and hate relationship with colors. sometimes I can see the colors, red is the color that gives me the most problem, sometimes it fades into something I can't distinguish it's like a void.

I'm color blind. I can't tell the difference between blue n green or darker colors like dark brown, black dark purple etc. It wasn't easy especially in high school when we had to use highlighters. I could never figure out blue from green.

Technically, nothing has color. Grass isn't green, the sky isn't blue. It's just the way our eyes interpret it. So in reality, the world around us is colorless. Well thats your depressing fact for today.

I have partial color blindness, in 2nd grade I colored I pumpkin lime green (that's what my friend said) but I saw orange. Screw mutations.

Whoa, what if colorblind people arenthe ones wuth normal vision and the rest of us don't see normal.

Wait...THE MAN CROSSING THE STREET ISNT GREEN?!?!?

I took a colour blindness test, and it was like 'You aren't colourblind. Yay...' And then I took another one where you had to line up platlettes of colours from lightest to darkest and I failed the last one, which was purple. Coincidencentaly, purple is one of my favourite colours. ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLOURS WAS A LIE ALL THIS TIME!!!!!!!!

I myself found out I was colorblind too. A few things I found out: 1. People will ask you what color something is and if it's not what you say it is, then you're wrong. Technically both parties are correct because the colorblind person is just seeing what they've always seen so it's not false to them. 2. Being called a liar or wrong when you're telling someone you see one number on those tests and they can't see it. I actually got a little frustrated on this and was able to show them what I was seeing via inversing the images color. 3. Having people worry about it and wanting some sort of fix to make it normal. While I can understand and appreciate that they care about that, to the person they've always seen the world like that. Personally I find it humorous that my vision is not considered "normal" when normal is subjective and varies from person to person anyway. IMO I find it to be a blessing of sorts because I can see the world a different way than most, despite the shortcomings.

I hate when people ask me "What color is this" Yes i am colorblind

Well i am 12 and i'm color blind... In school last year it was the worst we had to do certain things with certain colors. When i ask my teacher if it was pink or purple she laughed and left... Well this year i was ready for anything. My mom bought me some colored pencils with the name of the colors on it ;)

I can't tell the difference between all these different buzz feed channels, I'm colour blind.

I didn't know I was colorblind until I was in college and took an art history class. Everyone was finding the numbers in the colored dots, and I thought I could too. Then the professor announced what number people should've saw in each diagram. I remember her saying something about we should able to see a "24"(or 27 or 8, it's been a while! haha) and you should also see a "5". I searched for that damn 5 and never found it. I've known for a while I had the hardest time differentiating between oranges and reds, but for some reason I never associated it with colorblindness. Even that day when I mentioned it to the professor, she brushed me off saying "you're either completely colorblind or your not. There's no half colorblindness." Now with this video and in the comments, I'm learning that you can have different or partials forms. It's not an all or nothing condition and it makes me feel good knowing I'm not crazy!!

Get them all the enchroma glasses!

Im color blind but I still like to paint and draw.

My grandfather is color blind and I’ve always said “what color is that” I’ve noticed he’s always able to see black and white everytime no matter the situation. He always gets gray and pink mixed up sometimes he will say a gray shirt is gray sometimes he will say it’s pink. If a shirt has multiple colors on it it seem all the colors kind of blend together really strange and all diff colors

wait the walk dude is white i always assumed its was green as well

I can't tell certain shade of blue and brown from black. My Father has a dog that I thought for years was pure black, and a couch I also swore was black. The dog is apparently brown, and the couch a blue. I still don't know if they're screwing with me or not.

In Australia the man crossing my the street is green

I'm also colorblind. And wow I'm so related WOW! EVERYTHING THEY SAID WAS RIGHT!

don't worry it's actually an ancient form of sharingan

When i tell people I'm color blind they always ask what color my shirt is I get sooo mad or when you tell someone and they say you aren't oh man that makes me livid. Please everyone who does that stop.

I always thought being color blind was just seeing everything in black in white, like a tv show before color cameras were a thing.

Being a colorblind female I am happy there is a video on this on BuzzFeed. The chances of a female being colorblind are 1/2% aka 1 in 200. I am only colorbling green red but it really changes your whole color wheel. When I first found out when I was in 5th grade, me and my brothers where only messing around so they pulled up tests and I could not do it. The next day at school I told my best friend and some people overheard and that spread fast. No one cared soon after. When I went to middle school only a few people knew, only a few friends of mine. There are somethings I hate that people do all to often when they tell me or remember. They test me, I do not know if they are trying to see if I am lying or if they are curious but they test me and I don't like it.

The biggest thing that color blind people like me suffer from is people saying "Oh what color is my shirt?" and "so you're not really color blind"

Please do one on what it's like to be deaf

came her cuz of logan paul,still thinking how this works

THE MAN IN THE WALKING LIGHT IS WHITE,WHITE!?!?!?!?!?! IM JUST SO. UGHS.DR IM TRIGGERD

In the beginning where it showed the three circles with numbers in them, I only could see the number 12 in the second one. The others only looked like a bunch of dots :/

I love their attitudes about this...they are so positive and optimistic. I'm glad to see that they don't complain about it. There are some people i know that wouldn't be able to go a day without complaining about stuff like this and that can sometimes include me. :)

this is awesome I'm colour blind when I tell people they just point at stuff and go what colour is that lol

-.- I have a problem in my left eye which effects 1 in 20,000 people -.-

Thank you buzzfeed for a good video for once this past week

you guys should do a follow up of this episode and have them try those enchroma glasses!!

Make them try the color blind glasses

My mom told me my sweater was pink and black I said No it's black and pink!!!😝

have them try enchroma glasses!!

We need a reaction video for them trying colour correction glasses

My toe is color blind

I have synesthesia So basically my world is made of colors

Why isn't the guy that says you can cross the street green?

Is the guy crossing the street sign actually white?

Me: Im colorblind Friend: *grabs something* WHAT COLOR IS THIS?!

there r these new glasses that i just saw a youtuber try.. its for ppl whl r colour blind .. u sld get them to try it so they can see our world in all of its beauty

They should get the enchroma glasses. They correct colorblindness and it really becomes a different world

When I tell people I'm color blind they find the nearest crayon and put it in my face and say "What color is this!"

my second cousin is color blind and one time he was at the beach and went to rent a jet ski and he ended up getting a hot pink one bc he thought it was red.

Better than blind, right?

Everyone who said the dress was white and gold is color blind.

I totally can relate with that last dude. I have a very minor not that extreme form of color blindness. I can't see some shades of red, green, purple and other stuff and people always ask me, "What colors that, how 'bout my scarf, what about this pen." Its SOOOOOO annoying.

My older brother is color blind and so he views stop lights not as colors but as the position of the light I also distinctly remember helping him on color based school assignments

The feeeels, I'm Red Green color blind. I just tell people I'm "color dyslexic" because I can see 80% of colors. I just can't tell different shades. For example: -blue and purple -orange and red -Brown and green -green and red And neon colors like Orange with yellow Yellow with green Basically colors next to each other on a colorwheel look almost the same until a certain point.

WAIT THE WALKING MAN IS WHITE?!?!?!??!

i might be going color blind, the dot tests were always easy for me until last month i took the test again and i only passed the first one, which was normal with color blind people. yet, i can see all colors like i normally should. i dont know whats going on :I

I have Monochromacy. I see in greys. Because if this, my eyes are sensitive to light. My vision is also impaired- im far sighted in one eye and near sighted in the other. the glasses only work for the most common form of CB and that is Red-Green/Blue-Purple. Because Monochromacy is not 100% accepted (but is close) among Eye Doctors, no steps have been taken in its research, and that really upsets me. I don't want to have to wear sun glasses so often, even indoors, because of a bright lamp.

I'm color blind, left handed, and an identical twin. I am weird.
