Can monitors be set up to compensate for colourblind people?

[Stigmata]

I'm partially red-green colourblind - that is, red colours are duller than green or blue colours, but I can still see them - but I want to know what the world really looks like. Right now I've settled for increasing the red channel gamma in my GPU driver's control panel, but I'm sure this isn't the entire solution.

Yeah. My brother said that he can see colors fine, but he is actually color blind. Which he believes to be false. They also say he is allergic to peanuts, but he isn't. Um... god. What do you mean by what the world really looks like?

lol relevance

Obviously Stigmata believes his perception of the world to be affected heavily by his partial colourblindness and he wants to see what other people see the world like

Let's put it this way: If you were to break down my colour wheel of colour perception, it would be "blue" and "not blue".

Well not really that bad, but blue is the dominant colour. Green I guess is supposed to be a cooler, low-intensity colour, so it makes sense that it's the less dominant one, red being the dullest due to my cone cells.

So your avatar looks like pretty grey to you?

 

[Stigmata]

It's more like if you turned down the red saturation and brightness in what you normally see. By 30-50%, by my accurate estimations.

I forget what my colourblindness is, I get blue/purple/pink and green/brown mixed up all the time, and shades of yellow/green can also get me. I too would like to see if monitors could be adjusted for this.

I've got two brothers that are color blind. From what I understand, green looks grey .. a lot of colors look greyish. Red looks brown or something. They can't really tell. He used to ask me what color his shirt is sometimes.

Me and my oldest brother were talking just a few days ago, and somehow these glasses called 'blue blockers' came up. These were heavily advertised on TV back in the late 80's. Some of the first infomercials.

Anyway, he said something like that if you limit the blue than it makes things look sharper ... i can't remember exactly but he may have said that the blue was a really slow (or someshit) wavelength or something and it muddys up other colors.


I can ask him about the monitors, but I'm guessing that you just can't see certain colors correctly, no matter if you attempt to compensate for it or not. I'm sorry. I wonder if they have discovered any treatments... laser perhaps. I'm not sure of the cause though, personally.

I think it would suck to be colorblind. I feel for you Stigmata, in trying to see things as they are.

I mean... I can see how color blind people see things with programs and shit, but you can't see how people without any type of color blindness see.

Sucks.

I'm cursed with my own vision problems though... absolutely terrible astigmatism. I can't live well without my glasses. Eyes are always strained, can't make out shit very well. Headaches constantly.

some people are born blind and such. Hes alright.

Got me thinking, I wonder what the cause is... If it was evolution 'experimenting' like it tends to, it would be cool if it had some special ability, like if it made it so you could see something we can't.

Well yeah... there's always going to be people with worse problems, but that doesn't make his any less legitimate.

 

[Insano]

I think I'm colour blind as well. Often, when I'm in a dark room, I can't make up any colours at all.

I love doing these way too much.

I'm eating red jelly right now. Thought people should know.

You're going to get cancer cause of chemicals/preservatives. Thought you should now.

I wonder how this app works.
