Take a look at the world through color blind eyes.
As we all know, color blindness is the decreased ability to see color or changes in color.
Color blindness, also known as color vision deficiency can be acquired or inherited, but more often than not, it is inherited.
Have you ever wondered if everyone sees the same color as you? Maybe you see a deep blue, while your friend sees a sky blue? Would we ever know? For example, what if I see red apples as purple, yet all my life I have been told apples are red...all the while learning that the color purple is named "red".
How could we ever truly tell how someone sees a color?......whoa. I feel dizzy, better sit down.
Sidenote: This will be my second post using the"Pay me 100% in Steem Power" option...Mainly because I forgot to check the box on my last two posts.
ANYWAYS, the purpose of this post was to help people understand what people who are color blind deal with day in and day out. Can you imagine trying to tell what color a stoplight is, or how difficult reading road signs would be? How about walking through the grocery store and trying to find a certain fruit or box of cereal? Or what about trying to find that perfect shirt or pair of pants in a color that looks good on you? There are even multiple jobs that will not hire you if you are color blind, as you could end up being a risk to the company.
The following pictures were made using Vischeck's image filters - try them out, they are very interesting.
Normal
If you have 'normal' color vision, this is what a "Chinese Red Lantern" would look like...But I mean, who defines 'normal', right?
Deuteranope
This is how the picture would be perceived if you suffered from Deuteranopia.
A Deuteranope lacks the green cones for medium-wavelength cones, and are unable to distinguish between colors in the green–yellow–red section of the spectrum.
Protanope
This is how the picture would be perceived if you suffered from Protanopia.
A Protanope lacks the red cones for long-wavelength sensitive retinal cones, and are unable to distinguish between colors in the green-yellow-red section of the spectrum.
Tritanope
This is how the picture would be perceived if you suffered from Tritanopia.
Tritanopes have a mutated form of the short-wavelength (blue) pigment. The short-wavelength pigment is shifted towards the green area of the spectrum. This is the rarest form of anomalous trichromacy color blindness.
There are about 8 or so different types of color blindness, but I have only covered three here. When I stumbled across these image filters, they really intrigued me and I had to share them with the Steemit community. I just thought that it was incredible that this type of software is available, I truly enjoyed seeing what other people may see.

Interesting, I have a co-worker who is also color blind. Not sure which kind he is though. Out of the 3 that you have presented, I'd rather be a tritanope :D
I agree! Atleast there is some vibrance with tritanopia!
We are so blessed to be able to see and enjoy colors
We truly are.
