Well, I know some people that are color blind and they have actually taken the tests and one them can't tell the difference between brown and purple, because color blindness isn't seeing the extremes like seeing orange instead of purple or blue instead of yellow. Its mostly close colors that you can't tell the difference between. If you are really curious then go to a place where they test you to see if you are color blind and they'll explain it more to you like the cards that they make you look at and what colors you can and can't see like a normal person without color blindness.
And color blindness has to develop even though you are born with it it's just that you can't tell that you have it.

Well I am legally COLOR blind. BUT I can see colors. I am what is known as SHADE blind. I see red, but maroon, cranberry, red, they are all the same. Blue, purple, all colors of blue are the same. You may have the same thing as me. OH I just took the color blind test in one of the answers listed. I FAILED. The ONLY number I saw was 25 I didn't see any others. LOL

Not a bad point. You cannot compare the "red" you see to the "red" someone else sees. But what you can do is to compare the difference you see between colours or between some nuances of the same colour and the differences someone else can see. "I see no difference between spot A and spot B" and "I see a strong difference between spot A and spot B" are facts that can be objectively compared.

The best way to determine if you are color blind or the degree you may suffer, is going to the oculist.
If he says you are color blind there is no maybe about it.
Its a genetic problem.

Dumb question. A color blind person sees blue and green as grey. Obviously they will know they're color blind by the time they're in preschool.

THere's a huge difference between not seeing colors at al and seeing colors differently from everyone else.
If I say "that's red and that's green" and then ask you to repeat it after I switch the colors, if you can, then you see color, if you can't then you can't see color. Whether you see it as purple or orange or whatever.

But you're right, there's no way to be sure. My dad is completely color blind, so I've wondered about this a lot.
