My father in law was color blind and painted his porch pink thinking he was painting it white. He worked so hard on it we didn't have the heart to tell him so we just repainted it while he was at work.
Kenneth Hildebrand why did you need to repaint it
proudblackjynx so no one else would say anything to him about it. He is a really good guy and I did want anyone messing with him about it.
Where did he find pink paint. All paint comes white until you take it to get it mixed.
One Uno I think his wife got it to paint their youngest daughters room some years before.
That's very nice, i wish i had a child like you
I just watched georgenotfound used one and its sweet now this is ij my recommendation
Dude same. Interesting how these things turn out. XD
Same, lol
same!!
same...
same
I came here because I was curious of how GeorgeNotFound see after he used the colorblind glasses
Yeah me too bud! :0
Mee.too
Me too
Harry 0211 yo same
Same, I came to this video when he said that the lime wool just looked more dark than the yellow wool.
Just made me curious as to how it worked
Who got this on their recommended after George's video
Yay?
yeah
I’m so happy for him
@@beeboy3679 yea
me
yes
As someone with deuteranomaly, all those side by sides weren't that effective.
As someone with strong protanomaly, it wasn't much better for me, don't worry.
It was really to show people with regular color sight what the difference was you know
ColeTrain316 saaaame. I felt left out.
then you better buy one of those glasses and rewatch this video
You're not wrong.
UA-cam recommended this to me because of george :/
I searched for this because of George
Yeah me too
Big boss from peacewalker I see
Wesley Nunes same
Me too.
Here after GeorgeNotFound used it for the first time
Yess same
yeahh
Same lol
That’s probably why this showed up in my recommendations.
Samee
It seems after the exposé video about these glasses people seem to think SciShow got it wrong and are endorsing these glasses. What scishow said is 100% correct, these glasses DO help you tell the difference between colours that a colourblind person might not be able to see. What it doesn't do, is let that person observe the actual natural colour like a non-colourblind person would. Once again, scishow is correct. The glasses are false advertising.
Well, no.
From MIT: "How EnChroma’s Glasses Correct Color-Blindness", June 27,2016: "EnChroma’s website makes it clear that their glasses will not cure color-blindness, much as reading glasses won’t cure farsightedness...."
What you are doing is listening to a guy named MegaLag who quotes stuff out of context.
OK, you're not correct there. WATCH THE FULL VIDEO!
In the second half, he explains that they do block come wavelengths which cause cones not to function properly, which for people with some kinds of color blindness DOES ACTUALLY let them see colors they never saw before. MegaLav is a fool and did not properly research before going after MegaLav, which corrects just that kind of color blindness and does NOT advertise they cure all kinds or fully restore normal vision to all people.
It may not be 100% normal sight, but it allows them to actually see some new colors, and not just by 'spreading out' the wavelengths.
Many of those viral videos were advertising glasses that turned out to just be cheap colored sunglasses.. a total scam.
I wore them and they work.
@@pogmonke5217 do a color blind test and you will see they don't
@@minoo1160 I did and I get better results while wearing them.
@@minoo1160they do work, do your research first, those glasses were the one scamming
It only king of works for anomalous tricromasy and it makes many other colors harder to tell apart.
I've a friend with monochromacy. He gets real annoyed at people asking "is everything like a detective noir film to you?", just before he slams down a scotch, lights up 3 cigarettes simultaneously and gets in a gun fight with fedora-wearing gangsters.
I kid. He does, however take some very impressive photography in both color and monochrome.
My old supervisor at work (since retired) had the same color blindness. Only saw in black and white.
Really late, but I knew a kid in high school with monochromacy.
Got this recommended after George’s video
Same
Yup

Yup

Here after i saw GeorgeNotFound try these out
UA-cam recommended it after watching that vid lmao
Same
ok
Shut up

I might have a problem with Red and Green. The shirt he's wearing has some Red in it. So, am I seeing Hank Green or Red?
Try the test at 3:05. the green circles spell out a number that should be obvious.
The joke
Joey Wolf
You may have colorblindness, please consult your doctor.
Red Green: nerdfighteria.info/article/1492
Master Therion If you have anomalous trichromacy, you might be seeing Hank Brownish.
I actually panicked a little when he was talking about trying to find the red peppers and there were no red peppers but I was trying to find one anyway
MormonDude Starfaith me too!
MormonDude Starfaith I'm colorblind.... But I'm pretty sure it was just an example with no actual red peppers. Can't be certain...haha
They colored the image to make it so that people who normally could see the red peppers couldn't, thus highlighting what colorblind people might see.
What are you talking about there were clearly red peppers in the top left
:P
Something tells me Logan Paul didn't do a fifth of the research these guys did XD
Uh
What is this
Oh hi sawtooth
This isn't the place i expected to see a UA-camr that was majority of my childhood
Something tells me he lacks mental capacity to do the research at all
90% of the comments: wHoS hErE aFtEr GeOrGeNoTfOuNd? 10% of the comments: actually telling stories about people with colorblindness they knew.
Im not colorblind
Im blind
Wait why i can type this comment?
JK
I have mild red-green colorblindness, and I have a pair of EnChroma sunglasses. I wouldn't say that I confuse red and green with each other, ever. It's that I don't always identify something as red or green. Certain shades of red look brown and light pinks can look gray. Certain shades of green look taupe or gold. What the sunglasses do for me is make it easier to drive. Red stop signs look bright red, rather than dark red. I don't have to work so hard to look for them, they're just there. I can see Emergency kiosks easily. Green signs pop out, and I can find street names easily. Orange cones are much more obvious. I didn't realize how hard I was concentrating to look for those things while I drove, until I got the sunglasses. It is interesting to see the effect of some wavelengths filtered out. A light green sweater my husband has became beige with the glasses on, but I discovered that the house across the street, which I would have described as not having any color, was actually pale green.
I was thinking of getting a pair, I have the same colorblindness as you. Was it worth purchasing?
I have a Pilestone pair (I have deuteranopia. Red-green) and they are definitely worth it.
This describes my own colorblind situation perfectly, and the Enchroma glasses (either the sunglasses or indoor glasses) do help in *distinguishing* the colors (although I didn't have the miraculous/over-the-top reaction that some people have had, it was really nice to finally see what the hell "red" was, ha). I'd say they're definitely worth trying out, and you can return them after a trial period if they don't work well for you.
I'm going to try to ask my optometrist to write a medical order for the glasses for driving safety so I can claim them as a medical expense on insurance.
I've never met anyone colorblind that had difficulty getting a drivers license.
@Musaib Nazir you don't have to see the exact color so long as you can see it and know what signs and signals mean and what it says. For example, a yeild sign can be any color, it clearly says YEILD and is triangular shape. Traffic lights go top red, middle yellow, bottom green. So even if you can't see the color red or green too well, you know the order of the lights when the light up.
Owning a pair of enchroma glasses, I can say this: yes you can in fact see colors you haven't seen before (for me that was purple) and sunny days are absolutely beautiful!
@@KevinJDildonik Did you watch the video? There are different types of color blindness, and your description is not how these glasses work. They work by blocking certain wavelengths. And they only work with people who have all three cones (or sensors as you called them).
@@KevinJDildonik that's not how it works
@@KevinJDildonik It's ironic you're commenting this absolutely wrong information under this video.
@@joshharris3040 To be perfectly fair: What do you mean by "these" types of glasses? There a different ones. It's 100% technologically possible to have powered glasses that shift colors a person can't or can only hardly see into different spectra. That's what video games with color blind modes do. So all you really need is VR glasses with cameras where you can change the color profile. I wonder why that's not a thing yet. People having color revelations wearing thses kinds of headsets. Maybe I have to invent it.
@@KevinJDildonik
Great description.

@Yeetus Defeetus still one
My severely red green colorblind grandfather worked his entire life as an electrician. He would tell what color was which by comparing the shades of the wires that looked too similar. Before that, he would mix printer ink. He learned how to use shades and tints to determine the difference between colors he couldn't see from art class. Now he's a potter and makes his living creating cups and bowls. Pretty wild story honestly. He's a great inspiration to me when someone says I cant do something. And if anyone wants to order a cup or something from him just let me know and ill try to get you in touch with em.
Does your grandpa have a social media page where I could order from him?
Who is this Hank Red that is hosting the SciShow this time?
vxcvbzn this comment is too good for UA-cam.
Yeah, it is
Why is "Philippines" spelled with a "ph" but "Filipino" is spelled with an "f"?
No clue....
Because the Filipinos Phucked Up
Philadelphia born Philippine Philistines?
SPIGOOT
Eh, sometimes the Filippines doesn't- sh*t.
Sometimes the Philippines doesn't make sense.
because English spelling makes no sense
That’s why Georgenotfound thought dream was yellow
He was so shocked
i think George knew Dream was green, he just didn't know what it looks like
Sai Pai yeah, but I didn’t want to make a giant sentence as a comment
you forgot to spell georgenotfound as gogy and dream as dweam
TheOnlyLegend yep, I still see him yellow, hopefully I’ll get this glasses one day, tho for now my oculist said they need constant checks for mental health so it’s kinda problematic because of how each brain responds differently. (I’ve got moderate protanopy)
“Some people freak out”
“Some people cry”
“Some people can’t stop staring at colors they said they’ve never seen”
*and some people play Minecraft*
Wait 1 in 30,000 people are completely back and white color blind or are 1 in 30,000 color blind people completely black and white colorblind??
I didnt understand the question at first but now I cant stop thinking about that. 1 in 30.000 doesn't sound too rare xD but it seems like 1 in 30.000 people from how its worded, instead of 1 in 30.000 colourblind people.
It looks like very few people, but if this channel has 4,3M Subs it means that 143 (Aprox) people who watch it are black and white color blind statistically. That's a lot.
It's not that much; You have a 1/3 chance of getting cancer in your lifetime.
It seems to be the first one: "The nystagmus and photo-aversion usually are present during the first months of life and the prevalence of the disease is estimated to be 1/30,000 worldwide." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochromacy
its only about 250K people worldwide
I'm glad you didn't tell me they were fake.

As an individual who suffers from moderate protanomaly and owns a pair of the glasses described, I find this video does an excellent job of both explaining colorblindness and the function of the glasses. They don't magically add colors to our visual spectrum, just help us to differentiate certain colors that cause confusion. Their use does lead to an interesting process of relearning what to call the colors we see through the glasses. (Blue and purple may have looked the same before, but now they look different. But having never seen true purple before, they both can still look "blue" to us, but we can suddenly tell there's a difference. Now, which one should we associate as purple, and which should be blue?)
Another fun thing I learned, if you want to experience tritanopia (blue-yellow) colorblindness, go to the hardware store and buy a pair of shade 5 glasses (usually used for oxy-fuel welding/cutting) for $5. Take a colorblind test and enjoy seeing the world as someone who is missing their shortwave cones entirely.
Thanks, and great video!
The
The fakery is reall.
imagine having eyes that have 4 cones, with CYMK color scheme.
shrimps have 12
how would K (black) help though? Black is just what our brains fill in when there’s no light. the reason black is the darkest color is because it’s not really a color, it’s the lack of color, so a black light would be impossible.
If you're not commenting another generical comment about george, nobody cares
People with 4 cones have RGBY and not CMYK vision
Also by the way there are RGBW and RGBK sensors as it helps with dynamic range
For this guy with Deuteronomly, the glasses helped me distinguish, reds and greens as other people see them, but while wearing them the world is a muted shade of purple-grey. It's a darker, less beautiful... you actually see less color because it is filtered out wavelengths of the light that confuse the brain. Apparently my brain learned to compensated for my cones by preceiving green where others see black and greys.
Monochromatic here. Thank you for this. I love seeing these sorts of things clarified for everyone. Great vid
All the GeorgeNotFound fans invading the comments... lol
*That's fine*
Even though it's f*cked
no their dream fans and they just nkow goerge bc of dream
Lol truee
True lol
Nope im yust colourblind and i wana se if they realy work.
“Electricians”
SciShow: _shows bombs_
Thanks for all your hard work researching, scishow team! I was seriously skeptical too.
An artist friend of mine has, if I remember, protonomaly, so the most visually appealing color to him is pink (as we see it), and the least visually appealing to him is blue (as we see it). It's very fascinating, because that is reflected in a lot of his original character designs.
Watching this now after the expose of colorblind glasses recently made. Quite interesting!
as a mild duetan, watching this video was kinda funny every time a comparison came up it looked the same haha ive been wanting these glasses for a very long time and now after seeing this video gained a bit more hope in them working for my case since it is only mild... Thanks SciShow! love the content
This comment has made me wonder, couldn't they make a "colorblind monitor" where the red and green pixels are unusually far apart in wavelength?
Ur tripping us colorblind people up with those visuals 😂😂
I got this recommended to me after a Minecraft UA-camr [Georgenotfound] who now has The Colorblindness Glasses, _What a coincidence!_
Yeah, just ignore that the algorithm exists and call this a coincidence
how i got this and probably 50,000,000 other people because dream has 20% subbed and he's on 10,000,000 rn (or close)

YESSS!!!! I always wanted to know what the heck did these glasses do, but never found anything useful, I didn't buy them somehow magically fixing people's eyes just by putting them on. You are awesome (all of the scishow team), thank you!
I received these enchroma glasses for father's day. I wore them into a wedding gown store next to the eye doctor. They let me look at all the various shades. I found a wall with about 16 shades of pink. It was kind of crazy as i was seeing colors of pink i had not previously seen. For instance, i had trouble describing this one dress, which i found kind of pink, but kind of gold, and kind of silver, all at the same time. The shop owner told me that it was champaign. This was the first time I saw champaign as a color. I then took off the glasses and all 16 of those beautifully different pinks immediately turned into a wall of grayish/pinkish dresses. A couple of them were darker, and couple were lighter, but they were all a grayish/pinkish color...nothing like just moments earlier with the glasses on. Also, my daughter was wearing a Coca Cola shirt that was a washed out red color, but once i put on the glasses, it was a neon bright red color....red is amazing! Red is my new favorite color. I love driving the road and noticing red cars and red signs....it's just so pleasing. Other things...i now see purple and no longer confuse it with blue (while wearing the glasses). I also can see neon orange in the sunsets. I asked my wife, "how come people don't talk more about sunsets...they are just so mesmerizing!?"
I am so happy for you. And yes! Red is the best colour ever! ❤
This is so cute omg 😭
And I love red! Mushrooms and strawberries and cherries and all those are the cutest things ever, red is a beautiful colour!
You have excellent taste in favorite colors
Congratulations!
Sunsets & sunrises are some of the most wonderful views. Please also look into seeing auroras (videos & pics) & if you've not yet seen a real rainbow, after a good downpour preferably, look away from the sun (East if later in the day) for the best chance.
liar, they are a scam
Now I wonder what George saw when he wore the glasses...
I was in a shopping mall once and decided to buy some prescription sunglasses. I didn't ask for it a special color or anything, but I think the color is kind of like purple. When I wore those sunglasses it help me see the difference in colors very well. I was kind of tripping out seeing all the colors.
I saw George not found got the glasses and then my UA-cam recommendation brought me here
same with 50,000,000 other people
IceKittyDragynn where did you get 50,000,000 from lmao
Thank you for making this! This is the explanation I’ve been giving for years while I wear them, but you said it much more elegantly. I’ll just send people this link now
this was in my recommendation when i watch george use colorblind glass
Oh George really needs these
Thank you! I've been wondering about those glasses for a while!
This is probably the best video I've seen describing color vision deficiency and the eyeglasses that supposedly corrects the problem. There is a LOT of misinformation out there and this video helps dispel those myths. Way to go!
3:50 The glasses only help with creating a stronger distingtion between the three but also they distort the colors more than they help to correct them, so if you are a professional colorist and you have no big problems with working with colors it's better to be without them because it's not possible to work with color accurately with the glasses.
In short they are for people who struggle with basic colors on a daily basis and they don't really fix/correct the colors you see
So the one type of colour blindness that would truly be an amazingly life changing experience to fix with glasses (monochromacy) can't be fixed
I remember my friend showing up to high school in a green skirt and pink top. She had no idea her top was pink (to her it was the same color as the skirt). She was horrified by that information. I think her color blindness was too severe to be corrected by those glasses. Also sucks cause she was quite an artist, but she couldn't distinguish many of her color pencils.
Thank you writing staff! I have been waiting for this, but trusted that you would investigate thoroughly. :)
Thanks a lot, I think this is one of your most well made and informative videos. Great job!
I first thought, the glasses are one of these cheap scam things, but this explanation was literally an eye-opener. Although I am not suffering from this disorder, I once got a hint how it feels, when on a winters day I wanted to look at a traffic light, but stared into the sinking sun right beside it, and suddenly found the red traffic light to be grey. This is of course not how color blindness works, but it was an interesting experience.
they are actually a scam.
@@jhnyjoejoe69 When I heard of this, I believed that these glasses were a filter like those used on analog cameras which would block UV light and enhance contrast or change the intensity of certain colours _slightly_ so that they would become more intense and noticeable.
I would never have imagined it to be such a magenta monstrosity.
Do they have glasses that can fix people that see the dress as white and gold yet?
strifera Those people don't need them. If you go in photoshop and color pick the image there's a slightly blue tinted white and gold.
So.. Good luck with the glasses.
They have a video about that. some people see it one way and some the other, because the brain automatically corrects colors in low-light settings to make you register them as you would in high-light settings. people who thought the dress picture was taken indoors saw it as one thing while those that thought it was taken outdoors saw it as another.
That's... not how colors work. Or how photoshop works.
Here is how photoshop can help: i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/02/27/262423AC00000578-2971409-image-m-5_1425029003238.jpg
Here is how online shopping can help: 68.media.tumblr.com/2747666392ae4628f1ceb0ee28c098ab/tumblr_inline_nkepq2CBVs1qix8ij.jpg
Also, it is very obvious the lighting of the store is golden or warm toned, as you can observe in the background of the famous picture.That's the light that is causing the ambiguous color. Fun experiment, go to photoshop and lower the blue level to remove cool lighting and correct the dress to white and gold.... only it doesn't correct the image at all, does it? Now try either lowering the red and green levels evenly (removing yellow light) or raising the blue level alone. What happens? The image still looks normal, but you can see the colors of the dress accurately. It's blue and black. (Also, there is a dress that is clearly black and white behind it, and if you pick the black shade of that dress and the black shade of the famous dress, they pull up nearly identical shades of dark brown. That would be the way to use color pick in this instance.)
I think this sums it up pretty well: media.giphy.com/media/3o7btPOMufN5FziFWg/giphy.gif
TheBlueSquid ok lets not start, because its black and blue

@@us3r1625 the end
it just makes everything look like a flaming magenta. it does increase the contrast between some colors, but its not a "new" color.
"Dream, You're green!"
:')
anyone here after watching megalag video on these glasses
Yes
They don't see color "normally," but they still see a brand new color that they've never seen before. That's something that most people only experience as a newborn, and they forget it. That's an amazing, possibly life changing experience of beauty.
I have normal vision and I used to have a pair of these glasses. Everything you said in this video is completely correct, based on the research I've done. The glasses gave be about a 4% boost in vividness, just enough for me to occasionally say "oh yeah, i'm not wearing normal glasses." Although, those rare moments are very trippy, if you have the spare money to spend. So I returned them after 29 days, for my full refund.
I remember those viral vids. This is the explanation I was looking for back then. Thank you so much.
______________You know there's more being uploaded every day. Search for enchroma.
This is so interesting! Thanks again for another great video, Scishow! :D
I understood everything because it was explained so well. Great content, thank you!
I am protan with moderate to strong red deficiency and some green (at least according to the on line Enchroma test I took). I finally took the plunge last year and bought a pair of Enchroma sun glasses. There was a very definite improvement and lots of things that looked bla before really stand out with the glasses. Autumn colors, flowers, sunset and sunrises…etc.
The change was nice, but not a life changing moment. The only crying I did was when I paid the credit card bill. But, in the end, I kept the glasses because they are excellent sun glasses. I wear them often but not all the time. It was worthwhile for me if for no other reason than I am 71 and I always wanted to get some idea of what I was missing.
All this stuff reminds me of my favorite paradox the Is your red my red paradox. We could all be seeing the world in different spectrum of colors but never know because we are still picking up the same reflected wavelengths of light so we both still call the red object red even though I'm might see what you think of as blue on a red object but that is the version of red I've known for my own life. There would be no real way to tell XD And I love this paradox for this reason we may all be seeing the world differently and never know!
You can extend that to all sensory stimuli. Wondered why people like different music? Maybe they all like basically the same kind of sound, once the brain has decrypted the input gained from the ears, but when everybody interpretes sound differently, then different audio would be needed to reach this golden "in brain" music.
Take that to the extremes, and we are all playing entirely different games living as humans. For some, each day might be like a puzzle game, while others simply suffer terribly on every step (not physical pain, but the huge effort of even being here: for depressed or some kind of schizophrenic people).
Anyway, good thinking, my friend.... but don't experiment with psychedelics, it could get way too interesting. Just saying.
I know right? Super wild! Scares me to think of it tbh
@@boycotgugle3040 Same with taste. I don't like cheese, so I have always wondered if I taste cheese the same way other people do
Thanks for covering this. I really wanted to know more and just never took the time to investigate.
Now let's make glasses that can make normal people experience tetrachromacy.
Muzik Bike , if you take your corneas out, you can see UV.
So, what, they'd filter out everything and glow under UV light?
YOU FOOL!! YOUR PUNY HUMAN BRAIN CAN'T HANDLE IT
Pedro Rocha EXCEPT FOR THE PUNY HUMANS THAT CAN.
They shouldn't see much more than us, but they can distinguish between more colors. Imagine their fourth cone is between blue and green; they could distinguish between cyan light and a cyan screen because the light triggers their cyan cone directly while the computer screen triggers their blue and green but not as much cyan.
Their world has more colors from the same input of light because they have an extra way to separate it. Think the difference between green and purple, except they have that across wherever their fourth cone is.
Or maybe they do have ir/uv vision. Who knows.
I wouldn't know, though. Just a hypothesis.

Hello, SciShow! Do you think you could make a video explaining the current knowledge of cerebral aneurysms? I had one rupture at 19 and after learning so much about them, I would love for a bigger audience to learn of them!
phantasm1234 you're still here
Hi there! We make "those glasses" here at Enchroma! If you have any questions, please let us know!
playing with people's emotions is really really sick. Honestly, I'm completely disgusted that only one person is speaking out. Thank you for telling us the truth.
I just finished binge watching about 15 of these Enchroma glasses reaction videos and not one of them gave ANY huge reaction at all! They kinda just stood there and then finally said "Oh. So that's orange? Neat." or just "Oh. I never knew that was purple." in a very bored voice. Most of them kept saying everything was "Pretty much the same except for red purple and orange" and none of them were excited at all. The biggest reaction was "Cool." or "Wow." Maybe I just happened to click on the 15 most boring reactions, but they ALL seemed to be like, "Meh." They all kept raising and lowering the glasses as if they were trying to see if there was a big difference at all! Very strange! Maybe all us color-sighted people take color TOO seriously! Hahaha
@@KevinJDildonik gogy's vid made this one get popular
I think you clicked on the most boring reactions, also some people don’t like being filmed, I’d probably say the same things but deep inside id be freaking out.
Great explanation! So these glasses do work but also have their limitations.
I got confused between the reaction videos and comments saying that they are a scam. Turns out both are right. The people calling it a scam probably had the wrong expectations or a different type of color blindness than what the glasses can help with.
Finally someone has explained color blindness to me. I've waited so long.
I really appreciate the effort you go through when taking on online trends which seems to have little scientific evidence to back up the claims made.
Thanks for making this four years ago bc I just now found it. I was wondering what these glasses did and it seems that they are far more complex than I imagined. Seems they'd have to be very much customized to match a person's precise color anomaly. Anyway...thanks!
Imagine a video going a lot more viral then it originally was just bcz of a minecrafter does stuff which is explained in it
Hey guys I have one minor suggestion regarding the title of the video. Maybe try "COLOR BLIND GLASSES SHAM???? LOGAN PAUL EXPOSED (not clickbait)"
you're welcome
I've always wondered how those things worked! Really neat video!
Thank you so much! I used to look for this video believing that you must have made it. Now you did :-D
Is there a type of colour blindness for grey? I often can't tell the difference between certain colours like lilac and grey.
Some One Not being able to distinguish purplish colors might have to do with red-green blindness. The reddish color in the purple could activate your green cones accidentally and it would lead to a combined grayish color.
Black, white, and gray are all dependent on your light-detecting cones, not color cones. Color-blind and blind people usually still have light-detecting cones. Like, for example if they closed their eyes and a flashlight was shown in their face they could see the light behind their eyelids.
Some One , yeah, if your green cones react to red, colours in the purple family will seem greyish.
Some One I'm color blind and I sometimes see other colors when looking at something gray. For example, I bought a gray sweater believing it was brown. I prefer it in gray anyway so it didn't matter.
It's not just lilac. Usually I get it confused with brown colours too as well as lighter blues and greens. It's weird, and I can't find anything on the internet about it.
Some One I have problems with turquoise and Grey. Same with pink and Grey. I have deuteranomaly.
this got recommended after i watched george’s vid lmao
Yes me too
THANK YOU! I saw some of those videos and wondered how these glasses worked! Now I know!
You didnt search for this,
UA-cam recommended this to you
Hey Hank, I have a question: is it possible for people to have perfectly good eyes but their brains perceive colours differently and incorrectly, creating neural colourblindness?
Interesting thought. 🧐
It is. Just Google it.
Late but it's an interesting thought. Think of it this way: If "neutral colorblind" people perceive the same amount of colors in a different way, how in the world would we know that? They would know red is red by seeing the same color they've always associated with that name. They wouldn't be "colorblind" since they have a full spectrum of colors same as you and I.
So let me pose this question: Do we all perceive color the same way? Is my red your red? Or is it completely different? Perhaps I see my green as blue in your eyes, or even more interesting, maybe my brain interprets the colors I know completely different than anyone else. What if I see colors you simply can't fathom and vice versa?
Makes you think.
There are actually studies on this and while you can’t directly observe another person’s color perspectives and references you can observe the numerical drift in brain region activation produced by rod/cone activation and color profile observation ability is largely determined by heredity.
So while my red may not exactly be your red, and I can’t prove if my overall references in my brain are experienced the same way, we can measure the difference numerically to some degree, and it’s unlikely that in the same species that our references are widely diverse without extreme genetic pressure.
Sorry to kill the philosophical mind blow.
I don't think that's color blindness as much as it is brain damage lol
2:38 That's why I couldn't join the army.
Chubby Catfish You can, you just cannot be combat arms. I knew a lot of colorblind people while I was in the army.
I know, but I had no intention on joining the military to be in a non-combat role.
Been waiting for this one for a while.
I got these for a friend of mine a couple of years back, and he was blown away by it. Of course, I did some research beforehand to make sure it wasn't a scam, and found pretty much the same things that SciShow researchers did.
This is why I love scientific research and development - when we know more about how the world works, we can find new ways to solve problems and make the lives of people better!
It helps to have a strong science education background with these types of things, because then you are more likely to be able to judge if something might (or might not) be a scam, as well. Get educated, and avoid the scammers while not missing out on real breakthroughs!
How are these called and where does one get legitimate ones? thx :)
I'm a strawberry
That's great.
LMAO

Wat?
I don't think anyone gets the reference
Which is the app hank is talking about?
I gotta give it a try.
The description seems to imply that it's www.microsoft.com/en-us/garage/profiles/color-binoculars/
Sreeraj a also some phones correct th colours for you .. you have to find it in your settings
Seem like any trichromatic representation would do the same as multinotch filtering. As long as the red and green pixels are distinct enough.
This was one of the better videos I've seen in a long time!
As someone with a partial form of rod monochromatism (aka achromatopsia), this was very helpful, as I get several people asking me if these glasses will help me. I didn't think so since my eye condition, in its complete form, leaves a person with no functioning cones. I do have some cone function and can see some color, but it's very subtle, so I still don't think they would help, because it's not the type where I'm getting a wrong signal, more like a weak signal.
