Hello,
I am colourblind. For all those who don't know what it is I will tell you.

Colourblindness means that I am unable to distinguish between different colours such as brown and green, blue and purple.

Being Colourblind doesn't affect my daily life that much, but sometimes I get mixed up and will colour something in wrong or do something like that.

For example, today at school when I was making a poster, I accidentally coloured in something brown instead of red.

To detirmine whether someone is colourblind there is a simple test. It is called a Ishihara Colour Blindness Test.

Here is an example of one:

I am colourblind and can see a 5. Most un-colourblind people cannot see it.

I cannot see anything in this one...

Well on the first one I can't really see a five, but on the bottom one I see an orangey/brownish number 2 in the middle. Also, no I'm not colorblnd, but I just wanted to try this.

I have a friend who's also color-blinded. Sadly, we had to do some experiments with the pH and he could'nt distinguish most of the colors.

The five is there if you concentrate, but it doesn't stand out.
