Colour Blindness Explained

Whether you know someone who is colour blind, or just want to educate yourself, colour blindness means that certain colours aren't seen in the way most people see them, and in some rare cases colour may not be seen at all. Below we take a look at the different types of colour blindness:

Red - Green
There are 4 types of red-green colour blindness:

Deuteranomaly - Deuteranomaly is the most common type of red-green colour blindness. This particular type of colour blindness makes green look more red. This type is mild and doesn't usually get in the way of normal activities.

Protanomaly - Protanomaly makes red look more green and less bright. Similar to Deuteranomaly this type is mild and usually doesn't get in the way of normal activities.

Protanopia and Deuteranopia - Both Protanopia and Deuteranopia make you unable to tell the difference between red and green.

Blue - Yellow
There are 2 types of blue-yellow colour blindness:

Tritanomaly - Tritanomaly typically makes it hard to tell the difference between blue and green, and between yellow and red.

Tritanopia - Tritanopia makes you unable to tell the difference between blue and green, purple and red, and yellow and pink. It also makes the colours look less bright.

Complete Colour Blindness

Monochromacy - Monochromacy is when you have complete colour blindness and you can't see colours at all. This is quite rare and depending on the type, you may also have trouble seeing clearly and you may be more sensitive to light.
