Hey Pokecommunity, Beach here...

And I wanna learn something, are you color blind, if so post here and tell what colors and such.

Color blindness, or color vision deficiency,in humans is the inability to perceive differences between some of the colors that other people can distinguish.
I myself have been diagnosed with color blindness a couple years back, I can't tell the difference between many blacks and browns, oranges and yellows, blues and blacks... and some other colors. Science says that it could be eye, nerve, or brain damage that causes it or exposure to certian chemicals, In my case... it's genetics, my great grandfather was severely color blind.

So are you color blind?
if not try and just do the poll, if so.... post here and tell me what colors and such... I'm interested to know.

Thanks for your time.

Uhh, I have bad lighting in my house and I can't tell if things are dark blue or black sometimes.

That's the closest I've got.

Otherwise, no.

1 out of 3 men in the world are colourblind
1 out of 10 women in the world are colourblind

Luckily, I'm not one of those statistics :D

Nope. I haven't experienced any form of colour blindness, although some of those tests become really difficult to make out the colour differences when they choose such close shades of colours. =\

I think an old friend of mine was slightly colour blind though.

approx 1 in 76 or 1.30% or 3.5 million people in USA

^ that is the rate, in the USA of course. So 1 in 3 was horrifically incorrect, but hey we're human, we all make mistakes ;D

Thanks for your input everyone!
Guess I'm still the one of the few color blind PC person ;D

Now I understand why my mom calls me special 8D

I'm reeeeaaaaaaaaalllllyyyyyy not sure(or sure.) that I'm not color blind. Sometimes I would surprise myself to find weird color things. I'm pretty shy when approaching strangers so I never ask "What's the color of that [thing]". But I'm pretty sure now that I'm seeing the right colors.

1 out of 3 men in the world are colourblind
1 out of 10 women in the world are colourblind

Luckily, I'm not one of those statistics :D
That figure should theoretically be 1 in 4 males, and 1 in 8 females. Even then, it only applies to people who have inhereted the relevant gene for colour blindness, so the actual figure across the whole population is much lower for both genders (think more like 1 in 400 males, and 1 in 800 females).

There's a reason for females being less likely to inherit a condition such as colour blindness, and I know it, but it's one of those tedious to explain things in life...

... And no, I'm not colour blind.
