I see where you are seeing the 8. But to me the it isn't all blue. Looks like half is yellow and half is blue. Also a hint of green

Red Green CB is almost 6% of all guys and a lesser % of women. Very common in guys. We CB's learn to cope with it and for some the CB is far more pronounced then in others. For me at least is very dependent on lighting and eye strain, contrasts of colors bleed together, making color identification very difficult or imposable. It is a difficult thing to explain to somebody with 100% color acuity, and the misconceptions are wide to what it is. Many guys never bring it up because we don't want to get crude about it...sound familiar to anyone? Monochrome flashers and VPG's often became the tool of choice for CB guys/galls...because...well..it worked for them.

They say there is no fix for CB so we each look for whatever benefit in technology we can gain to offset it in our own lives. In looking for this test deal I also stumbled onto software that will make someones computer display more CB friendly...thought that was preaty sweat too..never new that existed tell now so I may try it...like what's to loose right.

The deal is we are born with it and we just think it's the way things are, tell we get tested, and or stumble onto the fact..hay..other folks see stuff differently then I do...what da heck?

Older guys/galls like me may appreciate this...A second grade teacher of mine got irate with me...I had everything all messed up on a color project of some type and she went off on me...I still remember it well...She told me there was no such thing as Color Blindness..I just needed to try harder...I was just..(Get this).."Color Stupid". Man...that really freaked me out at the time because..heck...I knew I was not messing with her but she was convinced I was. Thank God those days are gone and more training and better teachers screen for it so kids don't get a darn complex about it and get called Color Stupid....That teacher still ticks me off...LOL!

Long story short, I pushed preaty hard for Vexilar to offer the Cool Blue package for Color Stupid ..Ah..I mean...Color Blind guys/galls like myself. We coped for years, but we were missing out on a big part of the benefit of a Flasher due to our personal limitations. If non CB folks find it cool to use, all the better, Cool Blue is Kewl...we all like Kewl. But for those of us who need it...man it is a big revolution.

I guess I may get over zealous with my recommending it because it is very significant to me personally, and I want others who deal with CB to know...we now have a new tool to help us in the field.

Since there were a few more questions on CB and what the test means here is the link for the complete test and all the parameters they commonly test for.

The Ishihara Color Blindness Test.

CB Historical Factoid: During WW II the Allied forces used CB solders for a specific recon tasks, CB individuals had the uncanny ability to spot well camouflaged troupe implements far better then normal vision GI's, so they utilized them in recon on aerial recon and the like. CB guys were not as fooled by the color camouflage schemes and could pick out the contrasts and incongruous shapes.
