SO I wiki'd the colorblind and used their links to find some tests, and I took some. And my results were all over the place. If I were to judge from my results there, I'm a little bit of each type of colorblindness, but only sometimes. Other times, I'm not at all. So where do I go to learn how I'm colorblinded and what do I do? Should I try to get a dissability tag for my car?

In all seriousness the best thing to do would to go see your eye doctor. Your symptoms seem to describe some new Super Colorblindness. This has never afflicted you at a traffic light?

At my next eye appointment, I'll ask the doctor. I can't believe they never tried to diagnose me for it before.

Can you see it?

Har har Crimm. Though, if I had to guess, before you drained the color, I'd say there was a two in there.
Or, the more fun answer: Why is there just a big empty spot on the page?

And I've never had an eye appointment where they've specifically looked for color blindness. And I've worn glasses since the 3rd grade.
I don't think it will affect you in life at all. Especially since you've gotten this far without knowing. But I wonder if your parents were pulling their hair out with you trying to teach you colors when you were young.

Well the thing about colourblindness is taht it works teh same was as haemophilia. If your dad has it, then neither you OR any of your siblings can get it. However, if you have a sister, any male children of hers have a 50/50 chance of colour blindness, if their father is colourblind then they'll run the risk of producing a colour blind female, who is garrunteed to infect all her male children with colourblindness and turn all females into carriers.

Colour Blindness is the strangest thing, I think it's msotly in the head. For example with the purple paper. I was finishing it off in the class before it and a girl leans over "is there a reason why you're writing in purple" and I looked back at my paper and SUDDENLY the ink that was blue, was now purple. I just replied "please don't laugh at me"
Lol chekcing wikipedia

Traffic light colors are confusing to some dichromats: there is insufficient apparent difference between the red and amber and sodium street lamps and the green can be confused with a grubby white lamp. This is a risk factor on a high-speed undulating road where angular cues can't be used
I have run several red lights, entirely convinced they were green. Also check the wiki thatguy, I'm now entirely convinced I have deuteranopia.

QuoteOdd - every eye test I've had included a quick colourblind test.

18 Days verifies that I am right, and also, that I don't need colors in order to see numbers, so there!
