Do EnChromas work on screens? There have been conflicting reports on this, even from EnChroma themselves, where I have seen them claim they would and would not work. Of course, it may well depend on the type of lens in questions, but I always thought it an interesting question. I found a paper today that…

I read a fascinatingly anachronistic colorblindness article yesterday that was written in 1956, but reads much more like it was written by a millennial; in fact, it had an uncanny resemblance to the time(s) that CGP Grey lost his mind on tracking down the origin or earliest mention of the name Tiffany. If YouTube would…

In addition to starting my MSc last month, I’ve also been spending some time cleaning up the terrible state of color vision articles on Wikipedia. Today I published a new article, which until now was just a few lines on the colorblindness article and in the EnChroma article. Color blind glasses (color correcting glasses) now…

A paper was published at the end of August in the journal BRAIN that shows possibly that the first case of colorblindness has been cured. This comes after 13 years of apparent stagnation in gene therapy for CVD, ever since the Neitz Lab cured dichromacy in 2 squirrel monkeys in 2009. The study involves 4…

Another short up this week. There is a traffic sign that means “give way to oncoming traffic” often seen on single-lane bridges that in europe looks similar to the sign pictured below. Since protans perceive red as darker, in many conditions, this sign can appear all black and therefore potentially be confused with a sign…

So I made a Tools page, where I outline that and 3 other tools that I use all…

Last week I made a short for YouTube that I have been thinking about for awhile. The absolute quickest way to describe what is happening to colors for the colorblind… is just to squish a color wheel. Here for the reddit post with some discussion.

The most common complaint among the color blind, is how many careers we are prohibited from having. In the west, it is common for the military, police and aviation to restrict entry to the red-green colorblind, but in the developing world, the prognosis for the colorblind is much bleaker. When I say the developing world…

I made my second youtube short earlier this month about a disappointing run-in with bike lanes in Holland. https://youtube.com/shorts/zfNlIbD24d0 Second part of the series on the evolution of color vision will come out later this weekend.

Just had a call with the owner of an escape room. I chatted with the game master after a game, which saw my wife and I go head-to-head in an arcade style battle. The theme was highly colorful and being alone in the room without my wife to rely on posed several issues. SNAKE First,…
