I'm pretty sure you can still fly a plane even in black and white. WW2 pilots did. /s

I’ve seen ww2 videos. Everything was in black and white anyways..
Wiley Post flew with one eye, even.
Though, he did die in a plane crash in a plane he was piloting, taking Will Rogers out with him.
Color was invented by the tumblr gay agenda in 2013

Ohh I get it, they're both wrong because there is actually no number visible!
I just see a bunch of green and orange dots, with a small amount of tea colored dots. I don't know what the alphanumeric scale is, I do all of my math with my fingers
That 74 is kind of tricky and my vision is “normal”
This reminds me of a time I was taking one of these colorblind tests. The person administering it was flipping (way too fast) through the numbers and I was reading them fine. A trickier one came up which I could very clearly read, like this 71/74 one, and I said (because fucker was flipping way too fast) “71… no, 74 actually.” He marked it wrong. It felt like a real life Seinfeld incident after that where I kind of stopped the whole test and was saying basically, as nicely as I could, “hey. I said 74. Mark that correct.” MFer didn’t even vocalize a response. I can’t remember but I think he did like two more numbers, said I passed with whatever number of tests with one incorrect. I had to get my eyesight examined after that (this was for some pilot shit. Like a physical) and I told the doctor and he kind of shrugged it off too like “you passed it. It doesn’t matter.” IT MATTERS TO ME GODDAMNIT
Thanks for triggering this random traumatic event from over a decade ago.
It’s ok, you’re safe here despite your disability.
Goddamnit.
Now you’re getting a followup story of how such a small incident fucked with me years later.
I was with my (at the time) gf in our apartment and I don’t remember the exact specifics, but I was sitting looking at the TV straight-on ie the proper viewing angle. She was sitting on our floor looking up at the TV at like maybe a 45 degree angle.
I can’t remember the show or what it was, but on the screen there were some pastel colors. All I mentioned was like “oh, pastel colors. You like those colors.” She was drawing at the time, so it was somewhat relevant. Anyway she looks at the TV, from the bad angle still, and snaps at me “those aren’t pastel you fucking idiot!” And it was like that spinning shit in a movie of me in my head like “no…no…that test was wrong!” Normally we kinda went back and forth like this. Kinda like Vinny and his gf in that movie “my cousin Vinny” but less toxic and less Italian (same thing?). This time though I was just like “but… uh… the angle…” she kinda kept saying I was wrong for a few minutes before I finally tested it myself and then told her to stand and all was revealed. I was not an idiot after all.
And that goddamn test was wrong!

Reminds me of that one post where op discovered he was colourblind when he sorted characters by colour and it being obviously wrong.
I had a moment where I believed I was colorblind because I was toying around with iOS accessibility settings and one of the colour filters looked exactly the same enabled as disabled when I tested it. Good times.
Not colorblind.
Can I just tell you how much I hate those Ishihara tests? I don't see shit in that OP one (which was exactly what I expected).
Once upon a time, Panasonic did a print ad for one of their new color printers that was a dot test that read "Panasonic", with nothing else on the page. Not super-effective advertising - although I suppose color-blind folks weren't necessarily the target demographic...
on a similar note, i hate those vision tests with all the letters on it. can't see shit, blurry as fuck. who invented this dogshit font
It doesn't say anything for me, it's an odd shape of different coloured orbs and yes i am confirmed colour blind. Red green, i keep forgetting what it's called.
Okay I saw 21 but I am colorblind
I'm not color blind and never realized that these are made to show different numbers for those who are and are not. Never paid any attention to it, but now I can clearly see the 74 is made of two different colors/shades. Huh.

Dodge made a Viper with the color "yorange". You can tell the difference in this photo

Orange car and 21. But, I was told that I'm little colorblind. I can't drive train, tram and trolley car
Is it bad that I glanced at it and also thought it was 71, and had to actually consciously pay attention to the colours to see the 4?
No I think that's by design. I also thought it was 71 at first it just takes a bit more time

I can confirm that I see both an orange car and a 21. I'm not colourblind in the "I can't see any colour " way and I can drive a car and see traffic lights without any problem but I do percieve colors differently enough to get in arguments with friends and family about the colour of stuff. I think it's called deuteranomaly
Edit :the more I know!
Colourblind isn't the complete absense of colour, e.g. everything looks black and white. With deuteranomaly, you are the actual textbook definition of colourblindness... There are different levels of it, but all can still perceive colour - it's just whether the difference in colour of the spectrum is detected correctly.
Deuteranomaly (/ie) is the reduction in reactivity of the red-colour receptors. That means your perception of orange/red/brown is less than those with normal vision.
For those with normal vision, this is a great chart. But, if you're colourblind, it'll be more confusing for you, sorry!

You are actually textbook definition of colour blind. What you have is deuteranomaly which is red green colour blindness.
