    PSA for my fellow colour blind people, you can use inspect element option of your browser to add a filter: saturate(100); rule to the element for this kind of image:

      I don’t bother. 99.55912432140001521439566917234% of the time it says “Fuck the colorblind” or some variation thereof.

        Given a lifespan of 90 years (“the time”) that’s about 0.3 zeptosecond accuracy, or twice the lifetime of the Higgs Boson, which is impressive

        Depends on the kind of colour blindness you have I guess. I think I have the congenital red-green blindness common among men, and saturate Just Works™ for me. Plus I don’t have to fiddle with setting a rotation degree there.

          Colorblindness is usually between particular colors (red-green, blue-green, red-blue), which is why they make those circle dot things in multiple colors. In most cases of colorblindness, if you swap the values of the red, green, and blue pixels correctly then it should technically not be a problem anymore, though it would be for someone with a different type of colorblindness

          (am not colorblind though so this is mostly just an educated guess)

            Is the hue rotate modifier as easy to add, though? I’d think the high saturation result would make the distinct fields merge enough to distinguish, even if they were also made black and white.

    I’m color blind so I can’t read it, but I can see enough of the big orange dots to connect them together like constellations and fuck you too.

    I always wonder with these whether they actually say something or someone posted just a bunch of random circles to screw around with people

    So for those with normal color vision, how easy is this to read? I’ve passed all the blind number based color tests in the past but this one required quite a bit of studying to read… Imagine if this is the way I discover that I am color blind! D:

      If 10 was as easy as black on white and 0 was invisible as a solid color, I’d rate this graphic as a 6.5/10 in difficulty. You can clearly read it in less than a second, but you will probably spend the rest of the second and part of the following second looking for the edges of the letters and double checking it says what you thought it said and not something else. They are somewhat dull reds and greens, but they are visible. If you are having too much trouble then perhaps your phone display settings may need adjusting.

        for me its 1/10, i can see the orange but can barely tell what it is. unless i circled every orange dot there was no way i was gonna figure it out. i thought it was a diagram

        So as I needed to read the answer before I could make out what it was supposed to say ima guess that I am indeed color blind. I can trace the letters and make out the words but if I take a step back I couldn’t determine if it was a pattern, number, symbol or words.

        Thanks for explaining! (And massive thanks to everyone else who replied) ^^

          You are welcome… Though I’m surprised you passed the classic number tests in that case. Guess I’ve been placing too much faith in them

      Worth noting that there is such thing as color deficiency where specific colors appear more dull than they would for others. It isn’t technically colorblindness but could still make it harder to read these tests.

      One of my friends has this with red colors but could see everything else normally, and he described it as red looking way more desaturated than other colors (almost like a brown/gray?).
