Ever wondered what it would be like to see life through the eyes of somebody with color blindness? Well, this website let's you take a look.
Despite its name, color blindness doesn't mean that a person sees the world in black and white. In fact, only 0.00003% of the world's population cannot see color. Therefore, the term "color vision deficiency" (CVD) is a more accurate one. According to the above website, around 0.5% of women (1 in every 200) and 8% of men (1 in every 12) suffer from some form of CVD. There are different variations of vision deficiency, such as Protanopia (which makes everything seem greener), Deuteranomalia (which makes everything look a little faded), Tritanopia (greenish-pink tones), and Monochromacy (total color blindness).
Below are a series of photos that compare how different colors look through different CVD lenses - the results, we think you'll agree, are really quite fascinating.
