    I heard that too, you focus more on shape and shadows, so see silhouettes well.

    Here's an interesting one, apparently people who have full colour vision can't see the number in this pic, being colourblind, I see it perfectly. Maybe same principle as camo?

    Answer is
    5

    I could see the bottom half of the five but not the top for some reason? Like an upside-down question mark in pink.

    Are people with normal colour vision serious when they say they cant see the number in this picture, or are ye just pulling the piss, this being AH's and all?
    I can clearly see the number.

    I am unfortunately colour blind and it has been the bane of my life. So many careers, and most of the exciting ones, require normal colour vision.

    I took part in a research project recently on colour blindness, and an interesting fact I learned was that people with normal colour vision can distinguish between about 1 million different hues, whereas sufferers of colour vision can only distinguish between about 1 hundred thousand.



    Poor me.

    Well - I'm colour blind, but it hasn't stopped me from getting a pilots license, and working as an electrical engineer.

    I just cheated in the tests...... there, I said it.

    Poll to come.

    Same as myself Stercus ..

    I'm forever asking people to confirm colours colours, just in case some nice blue shirt I buy, is in fact pink :p

    I put up a Poll also here awhile back now.

    I'm often told my white shirts are pink or grey, I used to wash them in with the colours because I didn't see an after effect.

    So I had pink shirts all over the shop!

    I'm more careful now.

    The surrounding colours are brown, green, red so look the same to me, the '5' is blues and pinks, very obviously different to me.
