Were those false positives tossed in there to see if you're honest about not being able to see poo poo and might just be guessing? Or is there a magical color out there I just can't see and all I perceive is grey but they are withholding that information from me for some nefarious purpose. I feel like my enemies are writing secret notes in octarine or whatever and laughing at me now.  nothing____  nothing_  nothing

To prove I’m not making stuff up, with saturation enhancement:   e: That’s +85 for the 2, +95 for the others in Photoshop. I’m not saying it’s easy to see, but if you’re primed for those exact number shapes thanks to the previous test images, it is visible to the naked eye.

A significant portion of the population, while not outright colorblind, does have issues distinguishing between certain hues of colors, which is what those specific images show. I couldn't read the numbers at all and I'm definitely not colorblind, but I ran across this exact scenario in a class, maybe biology, in highschool, and over half the class couldn't see those specific images, whereas I think we only had 1-2 actual colorblind people in class.

Lord, I tried to do this, I got about halfway through and my eyes started crossing, it seems decent enough, but it's too much to handle at once, perhaps if each "bar" of color was a different page, but the drat blocks started breathing and colors meshing together, it was too much for my brain to handle at once.

It seems hosed up we've colour coded so much of the world on exact shades most common for people to have problems seeing, then stubbornly refuse to even slightly adapt our standards.

But I can't see enough color in the 6 to make out any shape on either my crappy laptop screen, or TV. This was the hardest to see one that I could identify on my laptop. On my TV screen, the 2 and 1 are about as hard to see as this is on my laptop.  Great way to find out my eyes aren't as good as I thought!

But until 1998 or so, the only way to have an indicator light that wasn't red, yellow or green was to use a tiny light bulb with a colored lens. Even today, building 3 LEDs into the place of one and including the hardware to drive them all individually to mix any color is an engineering challenge. Electronics companies aren't going to waste all that money when 90% of the market can read a 0.5 cent red LED just fine, right?

You could also use a gas‐discharge lamp They were kind of popular because they could be driven directly off mains power, but they were almost always one colour, neon orange, and they fell out of favour when LEDs became practical anyway. Pretty much the only household devices that have them these days are power strips.

It wouldn't be hard to engineer the equipment to take into account the 1 in 10 people that are the same as me. I had to send a picture to a friend not too long ago to tell if I should order a water filter for my refrigerator. My OSHA story related to colorblindness was the warehouse I worked at a few years back. The entire place was OSHA as gently caress when I worked there, I went into the interview on a Friday when it said 425 accident free days, was told they had nothing for me, then got a call a few hours later telling me to show up on Monday, where of course the board now said 2 accident free days. It never got above 15 for the rest of the ten months I worked there. The constant ramming into racks, knocking pallets off of racks, people in receiving slicing themselves open all the time, pretty standard stuff for this thread. But my personal hell was when the asswipe of a warehouse manager decided to make the aisles very narrow because he thought he was going to impress the CEO (it was a smallish company with one warehouse so the CEO worked right down the hall from us and could hear us destroying his inventory on a daily basis) with all the money he was going to save them by not having to expand the building. After about a week, it became evident there was a problem with forklifts having to go all over creation to get to pick locations because we couldn't get past one another in the aisles. So his solution to this traffic problem was a set of lights that would be green when the aisle was empty and red when it was full, the idea being that you would look at all your pick orders, then all the lights and then go right to an aisle with a green light. The two problems were that we had to hit a button to change the light, once when we went in then once when we went out, which happened probably a third of the time because everybody was too busy trying to keep up productivity amidst the slowdown imposed by this nonsense. The other problem was that three out of eight forklift guys (including me) were colorblind and so we had no idea what the status of each aisle was. This turned into a bigger nightmare, as people would just haul rear end right into an aisle with a green light when it should have been red and hit other forklifts. After a few instances of almost being run over and one particularly fun time when a 3000 lb pallet crashed down ten feet to my right, I decided to look for another job and thankfully got the hell out of there. I didn't give my two weeks because I was actually honestly doubting if I'd survive two weeks, literally or emotionally. When I told the boss I wasn't coming back Monday, he told me not to ever call him for a reference, to which I replied that he wasn't long for the company either since somebody would be killed on his watch. Fortunately and unfortunately, I turned out to be half right. There was one guy who had always been a menace on a forklift, even before the floor got hosed up, and he was given a manual pallet jack and told to ask somebody else to get stuff down for him. His productivity targets weren't reduced to account for these delays, however, so he eventually took to simply climbing up the racks like a monkey, then scaling back down with product sometimes weighing sixty pounds under one arm and the other arm hanging on as he hopped down each level. This behavior was ignored. The week after I left, somebody drove through an 18 foot rack that he was on top of, causing him to break a lot of bones, though thankfully not die. I never got the full report on how it shook out, but the boss was fired that day because the CEO had heard enough calamities through his office wall and the climber guy was fired for willfully acting in an unsafe manner. That job was a learning experience, to say the least.

The colors are very subtle, and it's possible that a lovely screen or difficult environmental lighting (e.g. the old fashioned fluorescents that make your skin look green) would make it harder to pick them out. But they're definitely there. I am reading this thread on a Samsung TV -- I've got it calibrated well, but it's not some super designer monitor with ten billion colors or whatever.

 Speaking of tones/colors this one is my favorite optical illusion wise, if only for the fact that I know a and b should be the same color, and have proven it multiple times to myself they are, but my brain won't except it lol. And to me they don't look slightly different they look like two shades different.

Yeah, that's a super powerful one. Your brain has to work that way, though, to be able to understand lighting and shadowing properly. The part of your brain that makes it impossible to see those two squares as the same color is exactly the same part that allows you to understand that all of the light gray squares must be the same tone, even though the ones in the shadow are objectively darker.
