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...

i see 7 on the one on top and i can only see a 2 and what appears to be a 6 or a 0 (it is not fully on my screen)

just as a statement - colorblindness is a recesive trait found only in males. Females can not be colorblind

It is kinda sad, some beatiful colors in life you can't see.

Anyway, You can see the five but its cut off. Probably, to him, its totally clear. Then I can see the 7, the last one is a 2 with something after it [picture cut off]

You can see the 5 really well, but i as a color - blind teen, the second picture looks like a bunch of young kids were told to make a bunch of dots on a piece of paper, too hard to see it

as mr_hobo_2100 said colourblindness is most common in boys, however, althought it is very rare girls can get it.

the colourblindness gene is carried by females.

Seemingly being an artist makes variations in colours more clear to me. I think I managed to see the 5 before I saw you had written it, because the form of the orange and the reds annoyed me a little.
I am not colourblind, I just have a bad sight. But at least my glasses looks good on me.

Well the two is easy to see because its in the one color but since the five is in loads of differnt colors it would be harder to see but yea of course I am sure everyone could see both.

Unless you are colour blind. The same with the 7 and the 26, because those are in colour that seem the same for a colour blind person.
The 5 is rather vague to people with "normal" sight, not because it is different colours, but because it is made to fit the svirly orange.
