Sorry Tritan 🫣
I'm normal so I just see the same color because I'm just kidding and not the same color I just see every color in my house and my grandma house go to sleep in my grandma hair because she's alone
I have green-red colour blindness and i couldn't join the Egyptian military but i found that my dad and my mom and all my brothers have normal colour vision so is there is a way to cure my colourblind even if there is a temporary cure to pass the test except wearing lenses because they always check lenses ?
Colorblind men usually don't have colorblind parents. There is a 50% chance your mother's father was also colorblind. I have another video on conquering the Ishihara test if you are determined.

I like your video very much I hope it will help me a lot thank you so much godbless 🙏
I'm also red green colorblind and i can see three colours instead of two XD
Very interesting posts, I watch your stuff even though I have full colour vision. I have a Q though- with the graph with the S - ML cones, you can see a large gap between the S cones and the M and L cones seem fairly overlapped. Does anyone know why this is? Why aren'y they all separated equally? what would our vision look like if so?
Ooh, this is a fun question. When you look at other vertebrates, their cones are more uniformly distributed over the spectrum. Why humans' aren't could be two reasons. First, the M and L opsin genes only deviated 20 or so million years ago (don't quote me on the number). Maybe there is still evolutionary pressure pushing them apart. It is a very long time though, and rather, comparing human opsins to other primate opsins, they seem mostly like they're in equilibrium. Second, The overlap between cones dictates what the dynamic range of their opponent channel is. Too far or too close on the spectrum and the dynamic range (how many colors are perceptible in that direction of their color gamut) decreases. The L:M opponent channel could definitely have better overall dynamic range if they were further apart and the L+M:S could have better range if the S was at higher wavelengths. However, in the case of the S opsin, while this may increase our color GAMUT this would also decrease our overall visible range. More nanometers does not mean more colors! As for the L:M channel, it has OVERALL lower dynamic range, but higher dynamic range at the point of overlap. So if you have a point of the spectrum that is super important to you, you can sacrifice dynamic range elsewhere to optimize the ability to find fruit or assess skin color etc.
I am 100% Blue 0% Green 87% Red Red and Green often blend together for me. Like If there are a bunch of red flowers in shrubbery. I will not see the red flowers unless someone points them out to me. Weird
I'll add this to my list of videos that actually get the concept of color correct. It's now two videos. Seriously, I'll take any video that doesn't say "the sun is green", "polar bears are black" or "the sky is purple."
Also, a contributing factor to the purple conspiracy is that it's one of the most likely colors to be impacted by inadequate color rendering of a camera or light source. The same shade of violet can be produced by a predominantly "violet" spectrum (in the neighborhood of 400 nm) *or* by a combination of red and blue. A camera's CCD and processing will be able to pick up the latter pretty easily because red and blue elements on their Beyer filter will pick it up, but the former will just get through to the blue pixel and look blue from the camera's perspective. Likewise a light source might have a similar problem. It might not have enough short-wavelength components, or alternatively, might do a poor job with reds. In either case, the two violets that should look the same under a good light source (like the sun) will look different under a poor one (lower quality LEDs or florescents.) This is metameric failure. I have a 3D printer plastic filament that's a brilliant violet in the sun, but under my kitchen lighting looks more like ultramarine.
@fwiffo you're describing the color rendering index. Most LEDs now, even low quality ones, still have a quite high CRI and avoid the metameric failure. Violet has always confused me. Colorimetrically, violet is a deep blue, a monochromatic color of very short wavelength light. However, laymen describe it often as being purpler than navy blue, and I don't see how this is possible. is it an effect of having two definitions of the word, or do color normals really see monochromatic violet as purplish? Someone once tried to explain this with the beta peaks of the red cone, but I don't think that explanation holds up at all...
Excelente contenido, muchas gracias por compartirlo! De forma empírica he encontrado un efecto visual similar al efecto anaglifo, pero que funciona con luz polarizada, Maxwel de alguna forma lo realizó, lo mío es similar.

Is there also a black cone signal and a white cone signal, and if so what would it theoretically be called if someone was missing their black cone signal or if they were missing their white cone signal?
Timestamp 19:18: “How would a simulation look if we wanted to see how tetrachromats see it?” I’d like to share my insights on simulating tetrachromacy based on my own experiences. At 19:55, you mention breaking the *chromatic redundancy* of color vision. By carefully designing the *transmission* properties of each lens in a lens pair, it’s possible to create new color experiences-for instance for those who are colorblind. For example, I built a pair of glasses that enables tritanopes to see the red-green range “trichromatically” by introducing previously impossible color combinations. These combinations arise from mixing colors *binocularly* (between both eyes) on top of *retinally* (within one eye). While this doesn’t replicate a normal trichromat’s vision in the literal sense, it does grant a moderately functional form of trichromacy in the red-green range. This approach depends on the creation of *impossible color combinations,* which break the usual rules of color perception by merging inputs from two different eyes. Typically, our binocular system is "redundant"-each eye sees more or less the same colors. When you break that redundancy, you open the door to entirely new hues. It’s a fascinating way to simulate e.g. a form of trichromacy in a trained dichromatic observer. You’re correct in saying we can’t experience the *actual qualia* that a true tetrachromat might have. Color qualia are incredibly subjective-difficult to compare even among normal trichromats. However, I disagree with the statement that you can "never see a simulated [form of] tetrachromacy." By designing a special lens pair that splits and combines color channels in just the right way, it's possible to introduce an extra channel of color perception. While it won’t be exactly what a natural tetrachromat sees, it can still produce a *mildly to moderately functional* form of tetrachromatic vision. In short, "impossible" color combinations-those created by breaking the chromatic redundancy between our two eyes-can simulate an additional color channel. Although these simulated hues aren’t identical to a real tetrachromat’s experience, they still expand one’s color perception beyond standard trichromacy. It’s a valid simulation of what higher-dimensional color vision looks like, just with different colors.
You mentioned at 20:08 that binocular (or "impossible") color combinations take a long time to get used to, and I can confirm that firsthand. I have spent the past two to three years viewing impossible color combinations, training my brain to fuse two different colors from each eye (binocular fusion) instead of perceiving a binocular rivalry. A good analogy is a hypothetical scenario where you magically turn a trichromat into a retinal tetrachromat overnight. While they would _technically_ have access to a new color dimension, they would still need time to learn how these new colors relate to and interact with each other (let alone naming them)-an ongoing process when you suddenly step into a higher-dimensional color space. I have designed glasses that split and modify how each eye sees color, effectively disrupting the normal chromatic redundancy in binocular vision. These "true-red" glasses let me experience what I call "non-retinal tetrachromacy." Practically speaking, while my unaided eyes see a mix of red and green light as a typical yellow, with these glasses, I can easily distinguish between a red-green hybrid and a spectral yellow, when before both looked identical. My left eye sees red while my right eye sees green in this case, and I have trained my brain to interpret these blended signals as a distinct colors. In one example, a standard yellow on an RGB screen might look the same as a yellow flower or even a pure spectral yellow for most people. With the true-red glasses, however, I see each of these "yellows" very differently. They grant me a two-dimensional hue perception, while the full tetrachromatic color space itself is four-dimensional. This is not theoretical, I've tested this many times. Although this system doesn’t replicate "real" retinal tetrachromacy, it does introduce new colors via impossible color combinations and lets you make genuine tetrachromatic distinctions, assuming you take the time to label, learn and find all tetrachromatic colors. I fully acknowledge that this isn't the same as actual retinal tetrachromacy-but it’s the best I can do with current tools and technology. Even so, it has massively transformed how I see the world. I now perceive the sky as having a “red-cerulean” hue, notice that certain "yellowish-beige" room lights actually look red-green to my eyes, and realize that rainbows miserably fail to capture the immense amount of non-spectral hues that I can theoretically perceive with the "true-red" glasses on. I’ve also discovered that many so-called “yellow” flowers appear as “red-yellow” in my enhanced view. And so on. The sheer number of new hues makes it hard to compare directly with normal trichromacy. I've made a video on this so I don't want to repeat everything here, but I'm just letting you know that it is, in fact, possible to simulate a form of tetrachromacy in your visible range with the right technology. Of course, this "non-retinal moderately functional tetrachromacy" is not the same as actual retinal tetrachromacy, but it still introduces tetrachromatic colors in the form of impossible color combinations and allows you to make tetrachromatic color distinctions in the expected colors if you've learned to interpret, name and identify these new color experiences.
I wonder whether a reliable genetic test for color vision has to be very expensive, for some technical reason. Is it true that you basically have to pay for a very high quality whole genome scan just to know what gene variants are expressed in your cones? If so, why? If this can actually be affordable (abt $100.00) It could be a profitable business. I'm old and retired so this is not a proposition, just a provocation.
Very nice to see you give a presentation in front of a live orthochromat audience. 24:10 “Color is not defined by wavelength.” Preach!
It's nice to know my audience can see me in colour sometimes.
I would like to hear about the genetics of color vision. Why is there no inexpensive genetic test to reveal exactly what condition I have? Some sex linked traits are more consequential (hemophilia) but the market for a color vision test would be huge.

This kills the color
I can't see the color red. Imagine driving and there's vehicles in front of you, you can't see their tail lights and as you approach a traffic signal light, people are slowing down and coming to a stop but you can't see the red light on the top of the signal. Now imagine that is for every color of red. Everything such as a red shirt is a shade of purple or blue to you. Imagine being born this way and not knowing there was something wrong with you, until someone say a elementary teacher started to teach you about colors and you were getting confused when they're talking about red and all in blue was matching the color

Cheating the test isn't going to cure your colorblindness.
I've been worried about having color blindness for a few months now. I've taken probaly hundreds of tests (no joke) for all types including red / green and tritan. And they all come back normal. I even showed the tests to other people who aren't color blind and it seems that I do even better on the tests than them. The weird thing is that I would say the tritan tests on average are harder, but I can still very easily pass them. Does this sound like color blindness or just me worrying? I also just used the CBC app and every time I go through it I get a normal result.
Then why are you worried you are colorblind?
@@Chromaphobe mainly because the tritan tests are a little harder than the red / green ones sometimes. I can still very easily pass it, but they are harder overall
@jayandjlps8022 there is natural variation in normal color vision. Maybe you just have a hyper developed red-green axis. You are decidedly color normal, assuming you don't have an out of calibration screen. If you want more salient information as to how GOOD your color vision is, you can take the FM-100-hue test, which can differentiate between normal and "superior" color vision.
@Chromaphobe I've actually have taken the FM-100 test multiple times, and my score is always 100% accuracy. So everything seems to be normal. But ultimately some of the Tritan plates particularly on EyeQues test can be a bit challenging. Even when I show that test to other color normal people there are certain tritan specific plates they flat out can't see even though I can still make it out with a bit of difficulty.
