@kottke Interesting. My particular version of color blindness didn't affect me as much as I expected. I tend to perceive colors on this device as lighter (more white) than they are, though.

@alicesutaren That's fascinating!

I have a very narrow problem based on yellow; I was conscious looking at these test colors that I had to work around that element (basically relying on cyan and magenta in print terms). It could explain why my guesses were lighter. I wish I knew what my grandmother would have seen given her complete color blindness.

@femme_mal Your score is pretty impressive! I have issues with red mostly, as I usually can't tell purple/blue, green/brown, light gray/light pink, etc.

Are you also a women assigned by birth? I am, it's funny if we are also both girls, first time I encounter another one but a man.

@alicesutaren Yup, I'm AFAB. I know we're outliers along with my grandmother.

My daughter may also have inherited it though it's not quite as pronounced as mine - at least I thought so until she gave me a seafoam green throw this Christmas and told me she thought it matched the blue in my living room. LOL Surprised I could tell the difference and shocked she couldn't.

@femme_mal Sorry for my clumsy english.

I have a son, he's 100% colorblind because of me, even if his father is not. And I have a daughter and she's not colorblind, because her father is not colorblind.

She is "porteuse saine" of the gene, I don't know how to say it in english. When I was younger, some people didn't believe me when I told them I was colorblind because to them it was so rare, it wasn't possible for girls to be. I realised I was colorblind in late highschool, when I met a friend (boy) who was like me, and we shared our experiences.

@alicesutaren porteuse saine = healthy (unaffected) carrier.

Your daughter may pass the gene onto her children as my mother did to me. I know it is the Finnish side that was the source as my grandmother was from Finland, but I wonder if the French-Canadian side of my mother's family may have ensured she was a porteuse saine, too.

*shrug* Who can say?
