My girlfriend’s coworker is colorblind - a topic that is pretty popular. Everyone in the lab likes to make fun of each other, and that’s usually where they go with him. I thought it would be fun to create signs with messages about him, written in those colorblind test bubbles - but can’t seem to find a website that might generate them for you. Any ideas/directions?
Don’t know about downloadable bubbles, but my son used to know someone who had a tshirt with ‘fuck the colorblind’ written in those bubbles. You might want to try googling that phrase. Or not, if you’re at work.
I’d love to have this too. I suspect that my daughter is colorblind, but most of the available tests don’t work for a 2-year-old. If I could make a picture of a puppy in each color mix, I could definitely find out which ones she can see! LOL.
And yes, I know, but the genetics are such that she may well be one of the few, and she seems genuinely confused about color identification.
Would such a site work? The real colorblind test bubbles are made with inks that colorblind people have trouble distinguishing. Computer screens use a set of three phiosphors that will ALWAYS be mixtures of those three phosphors. They might look the same to a non-colorblind person as the inks used in printing those bubbles, but they WON’T be spectrally identical, so colorblind peiople can probably read them.
The same goes for anything printed on a standard three-color color printer.
A quick search using Yahoo reveals that there are, indeed, colorblind test charts online. But I’m suspicious of them.
Here’s the Wikipedia page on colrblindness:
Hmm – a quick search doesn’t find much on this, although this site at least acknowledges that variations in computer monitors makes the test less than trustworthy if you do it on a computer:
