Different Types of Color Blindness with 35 Simulated Images

Color blindness occurs when you are unable to see colors in a normal way. It is also known as color deficiency.

The colorblind people don’t see the world in black and white, they can see color, but they have a narrowed color perception.

Colors lie closer to each other and are not as vibrant or bright as someone who isn’t color blind would see. Color blindness often happens when someone cannot distinguish between certain colors. This usually happens between greens and reds, and occasionally blues.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF COLOR BLINDNESS:

GREEN (DEUTERAN) Color Blindness

The green-weak (Deuteranomaly) - The green-blind (Deuteranopia)

RED (PROTAN) Color Blindness

The red-weak (Protanomaly) - The red-blind (Protanopia)

BLUE (TRITAN) Color Blindness

The blue-weak (Tritanomaly) - The blue-blind (Tritanopia)

MONOCHROMACY

Total color blindness

GREEN (DEUTERAN) COLOR BLINDNESS

The green-weak (Deuteranomaly) and green-blind (Deuteranopia) colorblind have problems with any color that has some green in it.

Deutan color blindness is a type of red-green color blindness in which the green cones in the eye detect too much red light and not enough green light. As a result red, yellow, green, and brown can appear similar, especially in low light.

RED (PROTAN) COLOR BLINDNESS

The red-weak (Protanomaly) and Red-blind (Protanopia) colorblind have problems whenever a color has some red in it.

A person with protan type color blindness tends to see greens, yellows, oranges, reds, and browns as being more similar shades of color than normal, especially in low light.

A very common problem is that purple colors look more like blue.

BLUE (TRITAN) COLOR BLINDNESS

The blue-weak (Tritanomaly) and blue-blind (Tritanopia) colorblind have problems seeing the color blue.

MONOCHROMACY COLOR BLINDNESS

Rod monochromacy (RM), also called congenital complete achromatopsia or total color blindness, is a rare and extremely severe form of an autosomal recessively inherited retinal disorder resulting in a severe visual handicap.

Rod monochromacy is a very rare form of color deficiency, affecting only 1 in every 30,000 people).

The ability to distinguish between colors can be crucial when navigating through everyday lives. Color-blind people may have difficulties judging traffic lights, reading maps, determining if food has gone bad, and buying clothes.
