When I was about 10 years old I kidded on I was colourblind so that I wouldn't have to take a maths test as it involved different coloured items on a table. The maths teacher even apologised to me and I couldn't believe I'd gotten away with it! Anyway, it turns out I am actually colourblind and it's limited my career choices ever since. I graciously accept the irony as its no less than 10 year old me deserves.

It's because your eyes are genetically programmed to see in dim light, rods are more sensitive then cones. A lot of colour blind people have excellent eye sight in the dark. It's left over from the stone age before we knew how to light or start fires to see, especially in northern Europe. People with colour blindness are supposed to live in darker parts of the globe. I think at least if I'm not mistaken!

i've already been diagnosed years ago but its makes me laugh every time I try a test and I score miserably. great video and i'd love a more in depth video on what caused color deficiencies.

This was super interesting! I've had the plates done numerous times, but I've never been given an explanation of how the scoring itself is done. I can't see full numbers in a lot of the plates (I can see parts of a number? Enough to make some sort of guess but nothing remotely close to the control plate) except for some of them where they're distinct and bold (like plates 14 & 15). For plates 18-21, I was able to see numbers in 18-20. Reminds me of being in the eye doc's office having to point out the number to my friend who accompanied me because I thought, "How come they can't see it, it's right there!" I see your bike gear as both yellow & blue at the same time but not green, if that makes sense. I try to avoid that color because it just breaks my brain to think about.

I was diagnosed as colourblind "in family" as I had relatives who had deficiencies. As a result, I've never actually been officially diagnosed and don't know which deficiency I have (though I definitely have one as experience proves). Unfortunately, I think my computer monitor is messing with the test conditions. While I was unable to perceive the numbers between 10 and 17 (as expected), I was also unable to detect any numbers in 2 to 5 and 18 to 25. I should probably have it done in a clinical setting to be sure. This was a wonderfully informative video! It was great to learn more about the ins and outs of the Ishihara Test. Thank you very much for making it!

I think this video itself actually demonstrates the need for proper lighting to do this test really well, because as far as I know I have no colour vision issues but in this video I didn't really see the normal colour vision number on all plates but the colour deficient version, which was really interesting. My screen has yellow tint at all times, not just during the night, so it affects everything I watch.

I've done multiple colour tests before because i sometimes think i see colours wrong, but i score perfect usually so i believe i just have trouble seeing different shades of the same colour apart. Also i have to say your voice is very relaxing to listen to, it triggers my ASMR if you've ever heard of that

Why is this guy just so relaxing...

I've just turned 56yrs old and only recently discovered that I have a mild green colour deficiency. I came to realise this as I am studying an online art course, and discovered in one of the assignments that I could not perceive a subtle shade of green that everyone was talking about! So this caused me to look into why I was getting the lesson "wrong". Thank you for this video it has helped me to understand why I've been struggling with identifying the green shades. Also one of the art excersise was to mix both red and green in varying degrees. These all just looked like warm reddy browns to me even though I knew I had put green in the mix!

Thank you for this video. It made me think of my dad who had a red and green color deficiency. Watching this video, I think he most likely had some form of deuteranomaly since I remember he could differentiate between some shades of green and red but certain types he could not. He would put that out to me when he was gardening that he couldn't really tell the red and green apart very well from certain plants. I wish he were alive today so I could ask him more about it.

You are awesome !! I enjoy your videos. Oddly enough they calm me down.

I got all of them correct except plate 19. I could actually make out a "2" on that plate, but it was incomplete. I could only see parts of the number. To explain it better, imagine if someone drew or sketched the number "2" in a specific font style on a piece a paper using a pencil, then they streaked an eraser through a couple parts of it. Parts of the "2" would now be missing, but you could still make out what it once was based on what remained. That's about how plate 19 looked to me. I could see parts of a 2's shape, but it wasn't all there.

I got a perfect score, so when I see your cycling helmet and jacket, they are the vague in between green and yellow fluorescent colour. Like a few shades more yellow than Granny Smith apples. If I was forced to say green or yellow, I’d say green, but they’re close. Helmet: 60 green / 40 yellow Jacket: 60 yellow / 40 green. Both have about the same shade/tone etc on fluorescent scale.

I have known I am colourblind since the age of about 8, but not until this video did I know I specifically have a mild green deficiency. Thank you Dr. Gill.

I’m guessing that if you have scored high enough one wouldn’t even be presented with plates. I saw those plates as you did but does that mean there is a deficiency?

I am still utterly stunned how the last few plates can show up as numbers for people affected yet not for people with normal vision. I can’t see where and how the numbers could even be made out! Does how does that even work!

Ahhh Ishihara and Fanrsworth, two of my greatest nemesis’. Deutranomalia here. Farnsworth Munsell nearly sent me mad. First time I’ve ever heard another deutan talk about the grey/pink thing!!! So we’ll explained, will direct anyone curious about my condition to this video. Out of interest Dr. Gill, have you ever tried the enchroma brand deutan glasses? Could obviously be psycosomatic, but the spectrum filtering they do definitely made a difference to my green perception, particularly on greenery.

I could see every play perfectly fine except for plate 12, which looks fuzzy and kind of strange. My brain kept wanting to say either 37, 97 or 87 and it's kind of weird how it's like partially connected on the left side there. Every other one was incredibly easy. It is that specific one that is just strange to me for some reason. I think it's less a color issue and more the fact that I have a nystagmus, which I have managed to completely infuriate many an eye doctor with over the years I imagine. I also always fail every driving test at the DMV because of it. Truly a blessing. I truly hate it.
