Nice idea, Sam Hodge.

Ishihara colour test

I wonder if these colours are even vaguely correct?

Is anyone out there colour-blind? Let me know how these work for you .. or not.

I’m partially color blind. I can make out the 7 in the center image, and after staring for a while could make out ixou on the top image but can’t resolve the bottom one, guessing that it’s the same or similar color scheme to the top but maybe a more complex image so I can’t infer a visual result. Cool idea :)

Cheers AM :D
The third image is a skull-and-cross-bones. I think even for a colour-vision-enabled person it may be a bit of an obtuse image to pick out. Maybe that’s why the original Ishihara tests used strong symbols, such as numerals, for encoding.

I made them all out just as fast. The skull was the same as the others for me. Yeah, I can see color…now if I could just learn to add beyond five without using both hands I’d be set.

Maybe it’s all relative to what you deal with more though? I draw a lot of skulls, not because I’m morbid and live in my parents basement, but because it makes it easier to draw faces etc.

Gotta go, moms calling me (or were those the voices that make me draw skulls all the time).
