I never in my life thought I would be confused by Gomer Pyle !
lol, I guess that does sound confusing and I'm no expert on it myself. The difference is whether you're talking about color as frequencies of light or color as pigments. White light is all colors, black is no light at all. With pigments it's just the opposite. Black pigment (think black paint) is a combination of all colors and white pigment has none.
When you're red / green color blind, the colors Lavender, Blue, and Violet come across as essentially -- Blue, Blue-er, and Bluest. No reds can be found.
As for dark greens and dark blues, no difference is perceived. Ditto for pastel greens and pastel blues.
As a result, sunsets are not especially dramatic, and the color of fall leaves span a spectrum of "rust, rusty, and rustiest," unfortunately.
But Beer still taste the same, thankfully. 
Aww that's sad :( Sunsets typically have a nice melon pink and red to them with regular vision. Anyone notice that blue is discernable within pink? It's easy to blame pixels until you notice it on real life sweaters and such. Depends on the shade mostly though and the melon pink alluded to above doesn't have the blue or the sliver above red in a rainbow.
None of this affects the fact that, colour blind or not, all persons who are not blind can see black and white.
Pigeons! What gives them the right? I feel like I've been cheated!
Well, that was my attempt at levity...
LMAO!
I can't pass this test, can you? Be honest, not a trick unless the guy is lieing to me and just saying the wrong numbers. Please let me know.
I got the first on 12 then below is what I saw.
70, 5,81, -(that mean nothing), -, 42, 2? (half number), -,-,-,17,2,8,
so I got the first and #42, #8 only. but I only counted 14 test not 15.
.... very interestingly, it will be necessary with friends for itself to do such
....cry for the color blind....until I look at fluorescents....then I think they're lucky.
I can see all colours. Great!

Natural selection. When bionic eyes with a fourth primary color comes out I'll have the operation done. Maybe I'll have it done in China if the West has regulations against it (there are plenty of dumb regulations that prevent modding :( ) Pigeons have 5 primaries but even one extra will be overwhelming so I'd wanna be used to the four cones before moving onto five cones.
I can't pass this test (post #32), can you? Be honest, not a trick unless the guy is lieing to me and just saying the wrong numbers. Please let me know.
Failed Miserably.
I got the 1st plate = "12"
Only the first number on both the 7th and 8th plates, = "4," and "2"
Only the first number on 12th plate, = "1"
For all the rest of the plates, I was SOL = Shite Out of Luck.
Red - Green color-blind, plus Daltonism, means everything looks like various pastel shades.
You still see "colors," but you don't see the differences in those colors, hence very few numbers are discerned.
Imagine how much I love multi-colored, PowerPoint presentations by Management Consultants. 
FYI, about 8 percent of males are color-blind, in some form.
I know of one color-blind female, now that is rare or so I'm told.
Question: why is it that I like this board if I'm red/green CB?
For whatsoever reason, .......women are actually more perceptive to colour changes........
I call Cayenne burgundy. Does it still count? Teal is unique enough and looks more like green than blue though blues are still easily discernable. It's like how in some shades of pink the pink and blue share a space instead of being parts of each. Rather than being a greenish blue it's a strong green but a medium blue shares some space with it.
Flora and sea foam while discernably distinct are too subtle to justify having different names.
Some of those colors look alike (especially the greens) from certain viewing angles but gain distinction when moving one's head. Moss and teal look more alike than moss and flora.
I don't believe girls can differentiate between that many colours.
The average human can see about a million different colors.
Though vision is complex, calculation of perceived color is strangely simple: Each cone confers the ability to distinguish around a hundred shades and we have 3 cones, so the total number of combinations is at least 100 to the power 3 or 100X100X100 which is a million different shades. Take one cone away—go from being what scientists call a trichromat for a normal person to a dichromat such as the case for color blind people, and the number of possible combinations drops a factor of 100, to 10,000.
To compensate for their difficulty in discerning hues, color-blind people need to add more green or red than normal trichromats to make a match. As some hue of colors used are of a lighter hue it is practically impossible for a color blind person to add more color as not enough light or wavelength is reflected back to the cones of their eyes.
Watching the test video I have compiled the number of colors or shades or hue of a color that are present in each of the 15 test cards. Do note that on some cards I have listed more than one shade for the circle surrounding the center number, as they appeared evident to me.
The same for numbers as some have 2 different colors one for each number.
Results are:
Circles Numbers
Blue 1 0
Orange 8 6
Green 6 7
Pink 3 3
Yellow 4 0
Red 2 0
Total 24 16 Grand total 40
In this visual test the total numbers of shades for Orange and Green add up to 27 or 70% of all of the shades used from all the test cards.
Can someone give an interpretation of this 70%?
Blue is shortwave. It interacts with matter (snow, air, water) more than other colours from the spectrum.
