When I am asked about my color blindness, I struggle to explain it. I can tell red from yellow, blue from green - I just can’t tell very similar colors apart. I sometimes refer to it as being “shade blind” for lack of a better term. This Color IQ Test explains it better than I ever could. A score of 0 is perfect and as you can see, the comparison chart only ranges from 0-99. I got a 228. Thankfully, shade blindness is only an issue when looking for small, misplaced items or taking online quizzes.
