I’ve always known grass is green.
as explained ^here^, colorblindness isnt usually a single color, rather several near each other

I know my Granddad is severely colourblind but no one else in the family is as far as I’m aware. I’m wondering is it an age triggered thing sometimes?

there are more kinds of colorblindness than red-green, but whatever countries use blue instead of green are fantastic

i get the feeling
you can tell by their positioning
so like when did you find out? i know some people don’t find out until their teens.

I have a friend who has achromatopsia (greyscale vision). We met at a job where one of the training activities involved making a color from a word. That was a very different learning experience for me and him than it was for everyone else.

Fascinating topic. Can’t believe I didn’t know about this until now.
As previously mentioned (somewhere), I’m red-green colorblind. That is, I see more green than red. Fortunately, my colorblindness is relatively mild so I can still differentiate colors given enough time.
Something I’ve noticed, though, is that my red-green affects more than just the red and the green. It is basically impossible for me to tell apart Lego Yellow and Bright Light Orange. Granted, those colors are kind of similar already, but to me, Keetongu is the exact same color as my minifigures.
The same thing occasionally happens with purple and blue. I’ll point to some article of clothing I like, thinking it’s navy blue, and whoever I’m with will tell me “no, Miney, that’s purple, you’d look ridiculous.”
Haven't seen an explanation about how colorblindness 'works' so I figured I'd post one just in case
The most basic explanation is that your eyes have these little sensors that pick up light waves, which is what lets you see colors. Colorblind people have eyes that can’t read certain wavelengths of light/just don’t pick up as many wavelengths, hence they can’t see certain colors.
This is why there really isn’t a cure for colorblindness. It’s like trying to connect a telephone from the 40s to the internet - there’s just no hardware that allows you to do that. Colorblindness glasses do not actually solve the problem - best they can do is make it easier to tell certain colors apart. I actually have a pair that I use semi-frequently for gaming because it makes colors contrast from each other more for me.
