Hi! I ran across your page by mere coincidence. I was looking at all your work, which is fantastic by the way. Your Ishihara Plates. I am an artist and work as a graphic designer. A coworker who’s been here for 15 years is colorblind-red and green. I thought, “Hmmm” So I had him look at your plates and he was like, “There’s NO way there are numbers there!” haha. I thought I’d leave a quick note. Very interesting. Enjoyed looking at all your pieces!

Thanks for this piece. I’m a doctor studying for ophthalmology exam and I love how informative your writing is. All the quirky facts in your articles reminds me of Bill Bryson’s writing style. Very enjoyable. Will be more understanding when I meet ppl with colour blindness now. Thanks.

I see three butterflies with different colored dots in each but absolutely no patterns. The top has mostly light colored (yellows and tans I would guess) and the middle has some added darker dots which are probably blue or purple and the bottom one seems to be a bit overall darker shades of maybe the top one but without the darker dots found in the middle. You can probably guess how color blind I am. Hope that provides some insight.

Heyy…
This is about a year late or so but I’m color blind…and the butterflies just have different shades within them.
You see, I haven’t declared myself as a specific type of colorblindness because I see all colors of the rainbow, it’s just that the colors I see are a wee different than yours. I see a different shade than others. I think my father said I was red/green but I dont’ see why I’d just be that if I mess a lot of shades up. It’s hard to describe exactly what I see but I know it’s differently than what you see.

How lovely–and how nice to be especially sure that I am not color blind? (How could I have known before I knew that there were time-honored tests???)
