Optical illusion tests were always my favorite! If you remember, few years ago, when this site only started, we posted our original blindness test. Most of you had no problem seeing the “hidden” numbers, but there were few among us that were color blind, and could in no way see the blended symbols. Color blindness is common disability, and shouldn’t be laughed at. For today i bring you another one of those, created by Ariel. Using this picture below, you can test members of your family or friends and coworkers to see if they are colorblind. Ask them to read the text, and if they don’t see it immediately, they are unfortunatelly colorblind. Believe it or nor, some people really don’t see a difference. I’m not exactly sure will this work if you print it out, but you can try this as well.

i can see lots of variety in colour and can see the dark areas that make up the words.
but i can’t read those words at all.
ive always known i was slightly colour blind
anyone wanna put down what it says to see if i can read it then???
It would be even better if they could spell COLOUR properly. I am sure the English have been speaking English longer than Americans.
Hello, I’m colorblind and I can’t read anything!! It’s unfair…
Hé, pretty cool. I’m color blind myself for these colors, I’m from the Netherlands by the way, but if I put this picture in negative(yellow becomes purple, and orange becomes bleu) than I can read what it says!
@ Eilor_A_Marigo
that’s Dutch people (not netherlands people)
And there are some dutch, colorblinded people
um what does it say i cant make out the letters
Color blind is a term for those who see color differently from most of us. To tell if one’s color vision is abnormal, you must use a strict method to diagnosize this. The above picture exhibits midium wavelength characters so that it is intended to tell whether one has difficulty distingushing green vs. red, for which the brightness of green and red patches should be equal – equiluminant color. To have equiluminant colors, your monitor Gamma setting must be calibrated at least so that green and red dots are different only in chromaticity. Considering that most computer monitors are not calibrated this way, and individual sensitivities to equiluminance are different, “labeling” yourself as a color blind on the basis of inaccurate monitor color Gamma is not right.
I see what it says, just what it says doesn’t make much sense. anyway, this is cool!
it says arial color activ some see no difference
this looks so awesome!
cool saw it from the beggining xD
I can see the different colors and can make out some words. I’m pretty sure it say “Ariel Color Test Some See No Difference”, but I’m not sure.
I can’t see anything at all, I am red/green colorblind.

I’m color blind, and I can still read it!

Quick Fact,
Only boys can be colour blind the red-green one, for some reason of which i cant remember its impossible for girls to be colour blind with that.
At first I saw the green dots but I couldn’t read them and I thought there was something wrong and I could barely make out the words. But then I stepped back a bit and it was easy peasy lemon squeesy! So those people who think they’re colorblind but aren’t sure you could try taking a step back.
advertisement for women
from wiki:About 5–8 percent of males, but less than 1 percent of females, are color blind in some way or another

Actually, I just took this into Photoshop and used the sponge tool on it.
Granted, at first glance, in black and white, there is virtually no way to see the letters.
Close attention, though, does show that the letters that were once green do carry a distinctive pattern to them and a bit of blackness such that the letters are slightly distinctive against the grayed-out warm colors.
unfortunately, i don’t see a bloody thing.
however, i already knew i had a red/green deficiency and was mostly colorblind.
wow i couldn’t read it…at all, kinda pisses me off just a little
MY colour vision deficiency is called Dichromatic Protanopia.
This means of the three photo-sensitive cells, colour decriptive triggers on a retina (essentially red, blue and green), I am wholly missing the red channel.
As a result in this picture I see ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but random dots.
In actually welcome Moillusions raising awareness of colourblindness, I appreciate it’s not an optical illusion per se, but it reminds us that everyone occupies a different perceptual space. Some more so than others.
As to how we ’see’ at all – now that’s a real illusion worth looking into!
I see dead people.
did you know that most colourblind people are men, there’re almost no women who are colourblind. This is because the gen for seeing colour is on the X-chromosome, and men have only one, so when one doesn’t work, they have no back-up an women do.
btw. ccol site
If you’re colour blind, do you just see red or something? I couldn’t see it at first but I stepped further away from my laptop and it was really clear (except I couldn’t read “difference”!) great thing mate! :)
If you take it through photoshop and change the hue you will be able to see it clearly. I’m red/green colorblind myself :)
It says: ARIEL COLOR ACTIV SOME SEE NO DIFFERENCE
It says:

Is
Dumb
Right?
i think that is cool =)
and it says: ariel color activ some see no difference
i think this kind of thing was used for pilot training so that when ur high up in a plane u dont mistake things for something else
This looks like a varient of the “Ishihara” color blindness test given in schools and most workplaces. I was diagnosed as ‘colorblind’ in school because of this test. When I joined the Fire Dept they gave another type of test and … I passed with no color deficiency. This is the only color blindness test I can’t pass – I’m told a have a pyschological aversion to the test (I don’t process dots well – not colors).
i see it!!!!
it says ariel activ colour some see no diferents
Anonymous March 21, 2009 at 9:21 am- as a response to that, i’m american and i spell words with a “u”. colour, favourite, etc. don’t go hatin’ americans for our language. don’t forget our government is based on that of the British. Our speech is so as well. don’t hate the player, hate the game.
I see Ariel Color Activ Some See No Difference.
Color blindness has to do with missing cells from the retina
and it is spelled COLOR, not COLOUR you dimwitted British freaks.
colour is for british english and color is for american!!!! do ur geography homework
ariel

some se no diffrence
thats what it says

There is a doctor in Maryland who guarantees 100% that you can pass the test with his color correction system. Check out his website http:/www.colormax.org . Color vision correction changed my life as I know have my dream job. I personally thinks its discrimination against color blind people. People who wear contacts lenses can’t pass a regular eye test without their lenses. So I why should be any different for color blindness!
ARIEL
COLOR
ACTIV
SOME
SEE NO
DIFFERENCE
and they forgot the ‘E’ on on activ and they spelt color right
Americans spell there wods a bit simpler than we do, like they write COLOR instsead of COLOUR!
Cool illusoin!
