them all, but this is neat. My other half is color blind, I'll have to have them do this too, and see how they do.

I forgot to mention my results: 10/10, but there was one pink one that i really had to stare at for a while and the word was extremely close to invisible.

Interesting.

If they'd mixed red and green, I'd be screwed, but I'm already used to deducing the differences between colors based on lightness/darkness and saturation alone (without the benefit of hue), so maybe that helps here?

So I'd assume that if my 'mix' is wrong (or 'non-standard', as I like to think of it, lol), I might see some colors better than most.

I always figured it was the blue spectrum, though.

Missed the Salmon (pink-ish) colored one and the last one, maroon-ish (dark red).

I have a coworker that is colorblind...I'm gonna have him take the test and see how badly he does.

Some were a bit of a challenge though. I’m glad I can distinguish colors since I’m an artist!

An example is that I was with a friend once and we were looking out at some trees in the sunlight. I said, "Look at all the glorious shades and hues of color on that tree!"

My friend replied, "The leaves are green and the trunk is brown, what do you mean?"

I think you know where that was going. It's an artist thing.

So many people give color an insignificant secondary importance, when what it needs is to get equal billing! You can take one object and with color you will change everything about it, and change it all again by picking another color.
