I’m pretty sure you can still fly a plane even in black and white. WW2 pilots did. /s
I’ve seen ww2 videos. Everything was in black and white anyways…
Wiley Post flew with one eye, even.
Though, he did die in a plane crash in a plane he was piloting, taking Will Rogers out with him.
Color was invented by the tumblr gay agenda in 2013
Good thing you told us you were being sarcastic
You might hate the /s, but it’s really easy for peolple to miss the sarcasm (no matter how obvious it is!) when everything is in text.
But but…that’s half the fun. Someone starts raging and every onlooker can clearly see they didn’t catch the sarcasm.
Maybe…
It gets less funny if 80% of the comments are missing the sarcasm/joke though. It can happen even when the sarcastic remark is obvious (usually because the first reply took it seriously, which set the trend for the subsequent discussions)
That’s why I put a /joke or /s mark preemptively in my comments.
Somehow, this is Tiktok’s fault.
Ohh I get it, they’re both wrong because there is actually no number visible!

It’s a 74. But parts of the 4 are a different shade so you see 71 if your color vision is different.
deleted by creator
I see why you would see that for the 7. You’re relying on the brightness of the dot instead of the tint I’m guessing.
I suspect my 5 years old to have some low color blindness, he couldn’t see the numbers in some circles I showed him.

I see a demons’s face looking angrily at me, so I’m fine.
What’s 70 + 4?
You: 👺
so with your 21, do you actually see a colour difference between the numbers and the circle or is it a brightness difference?
deleted by creator
Yeah I’m red/green colorblind and see a very smudgy 21
I can see it, but only when I look at it real hard, if I just take a glance it’s 71 for me. The different shade that part of the 4 is made of really throws me off for some reason
“For some reason”… 👀
I’m guessing your colorblind.
So to get this straight, I see the other green but it’s like a sludgy brown-lime green as compared to the full on greens. It contrasts so much from the full greens that you actually have to look for it rather them glance.
Is that how it’s designed to look? Because if so it’s less a test and more a trick. Otherwise I may have learnt something new about myself
I don’t think that is how it’s designed… I see the number instantly.
You’re very close to realizing that you are colorblind.
Er, bad news but it very obviously says 74
You guys have to be memeing. I can sort of see the 4, although it’s pretty subtle. But there’s no way that’s a 7. It clearly curves at the top, like a 2.
Edit: Ok, nevermind. I just loaded up the image in an image editor and shifted the hue a bit. I can see the 74 then. I knew from previous color vision tests that I had somewhat less than average color vision, but I didn’t think it would be this striking.
Edit 2: Oh, and here’s the edited image, for others who might have trouble seeing it (I hope you won’t have trouble with this image, too):
Not mememing dude. It actually says 74.
Even in this image it clearly seems to be tricking you into guessing 1
In the original I saw the 74 better, in your version I see 71 and only if I concentrate I see 74

Yeah I’m colorblind but there seems to be a green 21.
I just see a bunch of green and orange dots, with a small amount of tea colored dots. I don’t know what the alphanumeric scale is, I do all of my math with my fingers
That 74 is kind of tricky and my vision is “normal”
This reminds me of a time I was taking one of these colorblind tests. The person administering it was flipping (way too fast) through the numbers and I was reading them fine. A trickier one came up which I could very clearly read, like this 71/74 one, and I said (because fucker was flipping way too fast) “71… no, 74 actually.” He marked it wrong. It felt like a real life Seinfeld incident after that where I kind of stopped the whole test and was saying basically, as nicely as I could, “hey. I said 74. Mark that correct.” MFer didn’t even vocalize a response. I can’t remember but I think he did like two more numbers, said I passed with whatever number of tests with one incorrect. I had to get my eyesight examined after that (this was for some pilot shit. Like a physical) and I told the doctor and he kind of shrugged it off too like “you passed it. It doesn’t matter.” IT MATTERS TO ME GODDAMNIT
Thanks for triggering this random traumatic event from over a decade ago.
It’s ok, you’re safe here despite your disability.
Goddamnit.
Now you’re getting a followup story of how such a small incident fucked with me years later.
I was with my (at the time) gf in our apartment and I don’t remember the exact specifics, but I was sitting looking at the TV straight-on ie the proper viewing angle. She was sitting on our floor looking up at the TV at like maybe a 45 degree angle.
I can’t remember the show or what it was, but on the screen there were some pastel colors. All I mentioned was like “oh, pastel colors. You like those colors.” She was drawing at the time, so it was somewhat relevant. Anyway she looks at the TV, from the bad angle still, and snaps at me “those aren’t pastel you fucking idiot!” And it was like that spinning shit in a movie of me in my head like “no…no…that test was wrong!” Normally we kinda went back and forth like this. Kinda like Vinny and his gf in that movie “my cousin Vinny” but less toxic and less Italian (same thing?). This time though I was just like “but… uh… the angle…” she kinda kept saying I was wrong for a few minutes before I finally tested it myself and then told her to stand and all was revealed. I was not an idiot after all.
And that goddamn test was wrong!
Do you have a better TV now?
Yes. I went from shitty tv and a gf to great tv and no gf. Not sure how to measure this.
You’ll also have an awesome gf soon, my man, I believe in you
I imagine telling her to stand up and see from a different wasn’t your very first thought because of how off-guard her rebuke caught you? Still, seems you acted fast, or that scene with the pastels was very long
Pretty sure it either QVC (the sales channel) or some cartoon with those colors for art. Probably the former. Shit was a long time ago.
Your story reminds me, that in our driving exam, not the actual driving one, but the theory one, I got a single question wrong, and I was not allowed to know which one. If you got more than 3, you’d be told and be allowed to double check if you were scored wrong. But if you pass, you get told that and are expected to move on.
I asked how the hell that was supposed to help someone learn or be prepared to drive without endangering others, and they just told me I passed, what do I care.
And honestly, I truly didn’t care, actually, and let it go. I mean, most people in the street drive like shit anyways, and the whole process of getting a license isn’t really “academic”. It’s possible they were being cunts for no reason, it’s also possible they do this on purpose to cheat the scores and just pass people who failed too many times, but it wasn’t a fight worth having to find out.
If you talking about a test at like a DMV, I would guess it’s more simply just employees don’t want to bother to pull questions up and review with possibly annoyed people or they’re understaffed and the higher ups “solve” part of the issue by saying don’t talk to people, just shove the papers in their hand and move on.
Reminds me of that one post where op discovered he was colourblind when he sorted characters by colour and it being obviously wrong.
I had a moment where I believed I was colorblind because I was toying around with iOS accessibility settings and one of the colour filters looked exactly the same enabled as disabled when I tested it. Good times.
Not colorblind.
Can I just tell you how much I hate those Ishihara tests? I don’t see shit in that OP one (which was exactly what I expected).
Once upon a time, Panasonic did a print ad for one of their new color printers that was a dot test that read “Panasonic”, with nothing else on the page. Not super-effective advertising - although I suppose color-blind folks weren’t necessarily the target demographic…
So, you’re colourblind.
Well… yes. Good call.
“I hate those tests because they do their job!”
Yes, they do.
I kinda hate them because non-colorblind people generally say one of a few things when conversations about them come up: “OMG do you really not see any numbers on there? It’s so OBVIOUS”, “Wow… so what color is this [insert random obvious thing]?”, or “So you’re colorblind? How do you deal with traffic lights? LOL”.
Not sure if blind, colourblind, or memeing…
Colorblind. About 20% protanomaly (red-weak). Orange, brown, and purple are annoying for me. :)
on a similar note, i hate those vision tests with all the letters on it. can’t see shit, blurry as fuck. who invented this dogshit font
It doesn’t say anything for me, it’s an odd shape of different coloured orbs and yes i am confirmed colour blind. Red green, i keep forgetting what it’s called.
Deuteranopia.
Most likely Deuteranomoly actually, anopias defects are slightly more rare.
DeuteranomAly
Who the fuck thinks that’s yellow??
colorblind people apparently
for all we know it might be a yellow car in a dark room
Well, we can see the reflection of sky in the paint. I’m sure the camera’s white balance could make it look either color though.
Okay I saw 21 but I am colorblind
I’m not color blind and never realized that these are made to show different numbers for those who are and are not. Never paid any attention to it, but now I can clearly see the 74 is made of two different colors/shades. Huh.
Only some have multiple layers

But they already said that they’re colorblind.
Doesnt hurt to get a second opinion
Meet the new opinion, same as the old opinion
“We had one, yes. What about second opinion?”
Maybe the same doctor will tell a different opinion? Because he isn’t in the mood today.

I have been checked, and I am definitely officially color blind. I’ve known this for years and there is no doubt about it.
It’s funny. If I look away, I can clearly see 21, but if I look at it, it disappears.
(I am colorblind, by the way, but not red-green colorblind.)
Nevermind, read your post wrong.
Dodge made a Viper with the color “yorange”. You can tell the difference in this photo
That Viper on the left looks like the same color as the car in the OP.
Orange car and 21. But, I was told that I’m little colorblind. I can’t drive train, tram and trolley car
Orange and 21 and I am colour blind. I drive a tram.
Good for you. I guess, it depends on country and law.
Absolutely. I can’t drive a train because of possible confusion between red and green signals but where I live the tram signals just use white bulbs.
Same here, about tram. I don’t have problem about red and green lights. Or with colors when I wiring something. Just, I missed few points on eye test if I’m able to drive trains, tram and passed eye test that I can work on railway

Orange and 21 and I’m colour blind too. I work at EMS and drive the ambulance.
Is it bad that I glanced at it and also thought it was 71, and had to actually consciously pay attention to the colours to see the 4?
No I think that’s by design. I also thought it was 71 at first it just takes a bit more time
I can see the 1 but at first glance it’s definitely 74. The olive colour is much closer to green than orange.
It’s definitely by design. The 1 is dark green and the rest of the 4 is olive
I see it as 21. I am colour blind.
Yeah I don’t even know if it’s a 7 or a 2, but the second digit is 1, been tested colorblind
I can confirm that I see both an orange car and a 21. I’m not colourblind in the "I can’t see any colour " way and I can drive a car and see traffic lights without any problem but I do percieve colors differently enough to get in arguments with friends and family about the colour of stuff. I think it’s called deuteranomaly
Edit :the more I know!
Colourblind isn’t the complete absense of colour, e.g. everything looks black and white. With deuteranomaly, you are the actual textbook definition of colourblindness… There are different levels of it, but all can still perceive colour - it’s just whether the difference in colour of the spectrum is detected correctly.
Deuteranomaly (/ie) is the reduction in reactivity of the red-colour receptors. That means your perception of orange/red/brown is less than those with normal vision.
For those with normal vision, this is a great chart. But, if you’re colourblind, it’ll be more confusing for you, sorry!
So everyone can see a form of blue, most being royal blue? That’s super interesting because there’s a saying in art, “If you can’t make it good, make it blue.”
Why does the chart not include purple?
If I were to guess, it might be because purple isn’t a wavelength of light, it’s like a glitch in how we perceive light with the two cones opposite to each other in the spectrum being stimulated at the same time without the middle one.
For any practical purposes in every day life, purple is a color, it just doesn’t exist outside our perception.
Suddenly, the 40k meme of purple orkz not existing gets a whole new meaning
I’ve actually gone really deep on this and the graph they’re shows the mechanism at work. “Purple” strictly doesn’t exist, you’re right, but also wrong. Violet activates essentially the same receptors, “blue cones” in the retina are mainly only sensitive to blue/violet, but if you look at it, the “red cones” actually have an uptick at the extreme of blue (into violet), so when just blue is activated, we see blue, but when we see red+blue, we see it as violet/purple, because if our eyes were seeing actual violet, that’s what would be activated.
Purple as red+blue, doesn’t exist, it’s literally a hack to trick our brain into thinking it’s seeing Violet, when it is not.
EDIT: this is a far better explanation than anything I could come up with, and demonstrates the phenomenon. https://jakubmarian.com/difference-between-violet-and-purple/

It does include purple, it’s a little bit before the 400nm mark.
You are actually textbook definition of colour blind. What you have is deuteranomaly which is red green colour blindness.
So is it white/gold or blue/black?
Even though I know the dress factually is blue and black, I think a white and gold version should be made, because it’s pretty.
And it should also be photographed in such a way that it appears to be blue and black.
Night owls tended to see the dress correctly.
It has something to do with how good people are at looking at visual keys in the picture to determine the color.
All colors are pervieved relatively. Vsauce on YouTube has a good video on this
