Well I see the 45 and 56 clearly . And people who say there is no thing like black and white you dont know nothing . Most common form is if you cant tell difference between some colors but this thread point is total colorblindness which turns you world into shades of gray and yes it exists . Its rare but it exists . And I talk about that not about green and red . Who cares about that ? I mean if you cant see any colors beside black , white , grey .

I just wondered . At the moment people are like beautiful colors , great graphics , graphics king but if you are colorblind then it doesnt matter so much . You only care about gameplay .

They can still fully appreciate former(console) Graphics King like Gears Of War and Killzone, so why not?

LOL this comment has won the internets. Congratulations!

I don't think they play videogames.....

What!? I'm color blind and I play video games and I also paint. Like I said earlier people who are color blind do not see in black & white (we don't share the same vision of a dog).

What type of colorblindness do you have, just out of curiosity.

I really can't make out blues, greens and browns (I often mistake a dark violet). I do have those moments where I can make out those colors though.

I'm color blind and probably have the worst vision of anyone else in SW and I still care about how my games look

Color recognition isn't the end all be all for appreciating graphics.

I hope you aren't serious OP. Colourblind people aren't BLIND. They can still see the models and design of everything, albeit with less colour accuracy.

If they're fully colorblind then at least they dont complain about bad graphics if the overall picture is nice .

You do realise that that colour blindness is very common in males and that most never realise that they have it? 99% of people that are colourblind see colours very similarly to you, it's just that certain colours are not QUITE as vivid, making it harder for colourblind people to tell the difference in certain circumstances.

If you can't EASILY and CLEARLY see the number 45 in the above circle, you have a form of colour blindness.

If you can't see the number 56EASILY and CLEARLY, you are colourblind.

Most colourblind people can see all the different colour dots, but they can't see the hidden number because certain colours do not appear as vividly as they should. But it is only very slight and, aside from these tests, it will never impact on their life.

Yeah... I can't see the 45, but I can see the 56 very clearly. I already knew I was colorblind, it's mild though.

Yeah, there are different forms, so some people will pass some tests and fail others. I can't see the number either, but interestingly I can if I tilt my laptop screen (being an LCD it must distort the colours enough for me to see the "hidden image").

But there is a HUGE amount of ignorance about colour blindness, despite being very common. I also get annoyed that colourblind people are automatically excluded from certain jobs, even if they have a very mild form. You would never get away with that if it were any other type of disability.

For example, I cannot be a commercial airline pilot simply because I have mild colourblindness. A friend of mine who has poor eyesight would be allowed to be a pilot, provided he could pass a test that demonstrated that his sight was "good enough". For colour blind people it is a simple ban... no test... no case by case.... just a blanket ban.

Also the older you get for males the harder it will be to see the 45 because almost every male will find it harder to see the 45 the older you get because when you get older Yellow is usually one of the 1st colors that are hard to see.

Color blind people dont see just black and white you know. (At least most dont). Its normally that they cant see red or blue sometimes, which is normally compensated for in games. I cant remember the game, but I have seen custom settings for color blind people

Not sure, but I remember playing Street Fighter on the Snes at my friends house, and he only had a black and white TV. We both picked Ken, and I beat him perfect, but he tried to claim he beat me. :roll:

with such a varied color palette in today's shooters, like Gears of War or Killzone, I do feel sorry for them

I'm colorblind (red/green only though) and I can still easily tell differences in graphic fidelity. Graphics are much more than color. Models, textures, art style, animation, lighting, frames per second, and anti-aliasing are all things I can easily pick up on.

Colorblind people can still see a lot of colors. My dad's colorblind and he mainly has trouble with red and green, also, the colors aren't the only things that matter in graphics.
