This was so interesting. I loved the little tests on the website. Turns out I'm not color blind. HOORAY!! The captions were very interesting to read. I now know how a color blind person would see colors!

This was a lot of fun! I couldn't see the numbers at first, but then after a couple of seconds I noticed it! Phew! I'm not color blind! Its really interesting how they test people.

I thought that that website was very interesting. The tests were cool. My dad is colorblind. And I am partly color blind too.

I thought that the first pictures of a color blind person saw was very interesting. I thought that because I never knew for sure what color blind people were seeing. Also, I thought that the test was fun. I thought I was color blind because I couldn't see the number on the last one. But in the end it said that I wasn't supposed to a number unless I was colorblind.

That was quite interesting. I had no idea how colorblindness worked. Good thing I am not color blind in any way shape or form.

I agree with everybody so far on that this was a very interesting website to post. My dad is colorblind, but he doesn't see black and white. He mixes up green, red, blue, gray, purple, orange, and yellow. It's really funny when we have to pick his colors when he does like 12 string lanyards, because he doesn't even know what colors he's using. That is really interesting that they would be looking at the same thing, but not seeing the same thing. Think about this. What if we are all color blind and everyone who we think is colorblind sees everything normally? There is no "normal" though, so it doesn't matter. Thank goodness that there is a type of blind that is not as harmful as being completely blind. I'm not colorblind! Hooray!

I thought the "test" was cool. It is interesting to see the way color blind people see. I have always been curious about that. But now I know what color blind people see. I think it is interesting that there are multiple kinds of color blindness. I have a classmate w/ color blindness, and I have always been curious what he/she sees. (For confidentiality reasons, I will not say names.) I found the test interesting, and very helpful.

That's really cool. I've wondered what people that are color blind see. I was alarmed when I found that I couldn't see the last number in the test. But then I saw that nothing but a bunch of squiggles were there to a person that is NOT color blind. Yay! I can see color normally!!!I think it would be even cooler if they had a game to go with the article and test. Maybe you had a color blind hero, who tests your memory of what's in the article. Is purple really purple? Is green red, or is red green?

That was so cool! When I couldn't see anything in number four I panicked. But when I looked at the bottom, and it said that you shouldn't see anything, I stopped panicking. Everything about that was very cool. You should put more things like this on your blog.

That was so much fun! I loved how they made a test for colorblindness using numbers. And how normal people will see 29 and people with red-green color blindness will see 70. And that the last plate people with normal vision don't know what the number is and people with red-green color blindness will see 5.

I'm glad I'm not color blind. Think about what it would be like if you were. Not being able to see any colors, it would change you perspective of how ou see things in your life.

You are usually color-blind when you're absent of color sensitive pigment in your eyes, and when you mix up colors. Colors are confused like red, green, blue, and a mixture of these colors. Most of these problems are inherited by birth. I enjoyed reading the article.

It is so interesting how some people see different things than we do because of nerve damage in their eye. My dad is color-blind, and I never even knew what happens to cause it. It was fun to try out the tests to see if you are color-blind, but it was also kind of hard to see inside of the circle.
