How do red-green colorblind people see?
You have probably been asked often how you see colors. Now you can show it! Based on the results of your color blind test, color spectrum is generated as you see and display it next to a normal color spectrum. You probably won't notice (too much) difference between the two spectrums, but people with normal color vision will see the difference.
The majority of those who are colorblind see the world in a very similar way but often interpret these colors differently. For example, one of the more common forms of color blindness is a red and green color deficiency. This is where individuals struggle to differentiate between colors including reds, greens, oranges, and browns. This can make everyday tasks such as driving a little more complicated, obstacles such as traffic lights can be challenging and dangerous, especially if they’re not familiar with the area. There are also other types of color blindness, these include blue deficiencies and monochrome color blindness.

As colorblindness becomes more severe, colorblind people see the following. The yellow range expands until the red and green ranges disappear. The turquoise range turns white (neutral) and the red component of purple disappears, so the purple just looks blue.
