Color Dewareness And Color Blindness

Do you know what color vision deficiency is? Well, it is when you can’t see the same color as your peers. Each person that has color vision deficiency, or color blindness, cannot tell some colors apart from others very easily. You may even get them mixed up. This paper is going to help you understand about color blindness, facts about it, how we see color in the beginning, how does it affect us, and everything else you should, or need, to know about color blindness.

So, what is color blindness? Color blindness is when you can distinguish certain shades of color. Color blindness is a “term of condition.” People aren’t able to see color as clearly as others, or at all. Color blindness affects 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women (in the world).

It all starts with our color pigments and then light hits off of an object and the object absorbs some of the light and reflects it back into our eyes. Cones are a type of photoreceptor. A photoreceptor are tiny cells in the retina. They correspond to light. Each person has 6-7 million cones, and almost all are concentrated on a 0.3 millimeter spot on the retina. Not all cones are alike. They all have something different to make you see different colors. About 64% of your cones respond more strongly to red light. ⅓ are set off by green light, and 2% are triggered by blue light. The light goes through your pupils and finds the cells of color. The cells combine to form a color. The color goes to our brains and tells us what color it is. Our color vision depends on our eyes and brain working together to make and tell different colors. There are two kinds of light that you can tell colors in, natural and artificial. Natural is like the sun's light or the moon’s light. Artificial is like the light that the lightbulbs give off in your house. Natural and artificial light illuminate our world as white. Then the pigments in our eyes make the word have a little color in it. Longer wavelengths work with red light and shorter ones work with blue light. Wavelengths are how much color you can see in an object. For example, when you look at a strawberry, it uses longer wavelengths to help stand out. If you look at a blueberry it uses shorter

For starters, it affects everyone differently. It can affect you so much that you go completely black and white, or you go with a few colors. It's never the same. If you come in physical contact with chemicals directly in your eyes, you can go completely blind, and no turning back. People can be diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination. The person takes a pseudoisochromatic plate test. A pseudoisochromatic plate test is where you have a circle with dots all over and a number is in a different color/shade and you have to guess what number it is. It can be hard or it can be really easy. There is no cure for inherited color blindness. If it is an illness or an eye injury, you can try and treat them, but there are no guarantees what so ever. Usually you will find way to work around them, such as get a personal person to tell you if it matches or looks good on you, or remembering the order of everything in your house or closet. Color vision is very important if you had the choice, if you don't have the choice, good luck. It is the ability to see color from color. The human eye can discriminate among hundreds of bands of wavelengths. A ripe banana, for example, has the wavelengths of about 570-580 that bounce back into your eyes. One wavelength can stimulate every pigment in your eye. The pattern of these responses determines the color perceived. Researchers have identified that the correspondence to red, green, and blue pigments are in genes. Any
