If you look even more closely, the shade is slightly different. The overlapping parts have a pinkish red tone while non-overlapping parts of the red number have more of a brownish tint.

I feel sorry for the OP.
I'm having trouble reading the second word, but I can make out "Fuck *insert word I can't see* Color blind"
It's always funny when people realize I'm color blind. I hate games that rely on colors, or when people ask me "hey can you get the indigo colored crayon?" I've got to explain to them I can't tell some shades apart. Then I get bombarded with dumb questions.
"what does green look like to you?" and random shit like that. Well, uh, it looks like it's always looked to me. What I perceive as green might be different than what you see, but to me it's green.

I'm colorblind. It was never apparent to me. You don't really have the authority to say that it should be.
And again, you seem to think that two wildly different colors look the same to colorblind people. That is NOT the case for the vast majority of colorblind people. Colors in a color wheel are all very different. Crayons all look very different.
I can see the colors clearly go from red, to yellow, to green, to blue, to purple. The shades in between could get confused (e.g. the 10 o'clock purple might be confused for blue not given a context), but the transitions are easy to spot and interpret.

Apparently he is an expert on colorblindness, and he is telling you that you confuse the sky and grass even though you are colorblind and he is not.
So we can insult you with some of these pictures on the first page and you would never know?
The fuck the colorblind picture is pretty poorly done. I have red-green color deficiency (the most common form of colorblindness), and the message is pretty visible. Unless that was the point.
Neogaf has a new armchair doctor in the house.
So doctor, why wasn't I able to find out I was color blind till I was 15?

He already answered why. He strongly implied that you had to be a moron to not realize, because his 5 year old friend figured it out.
I bet there are people here that don't even realize they're color blind.
Can anyone not see this number (or whatever it is)?
Can't see it.
Has never been a problem for me, ever. Well, outside of these tests anyway.
Well I did fail that one Chemistry class in High School. Damn I'm fucked.
No problem. Feel free to ask questions. I'm only offended when people dictate what I can and can't see, or when my opinion on colors is suddenly invalid.
I am colorblind but with my weaknesses there are strengths. Colorblindness gives me a greater ability to distinguish brightness levels, and I have very good night vision...the reason being that colorblind individuals need to use brightness to distinguish certain colors. I'm actually really good at calibrating displays and setting color temperature, as I'm sensitive to both brightness and blue. I might not notice a red or green tinge all that well, but I can easily notice when whites are shifting towards blues.

Think about it this way. Our visual spectrum goes from infrared to ultraviolet (I think). Imagine if someone told you they could see a color past one of those. How would they describe it. How would you describe hearing a pitch higher and lower than what most people can. What was that color or sound.
I'm colorblind but I don't have any special abilities
No worries man. It's just frustrating how some people have to "feel sorry" for people who are color blind. It's not like we can't see colors, like there's a giant void in place of something we have trouble with, just that we see things things a bit differently. It's not bad to be curios, but be courteous of others and don't make a big deal of of it. I would be a bit more sensitive with your friend from now on though.

I saw one guy discover his colorblindness by wondering why there were two blue Links in Four Swords on an internet forum.

Ugh. I'm colour blind and this kinda stuff is annoying as shit.
A girl genuinely once asked me if I see in black & white. Yeah, that's it, I'm a fucking dog.
Ha! That's a good one. I love how some people think.

"no, but I fuck like I do"

I wonder how many people here realize that there are TWO hidden numbers there.
First one is
57 in red
35 in green and red
Aww yeah my eyes be rock solid.
I'm actually regular blind
Same. Anyways don't kids get tested for color blindness in Elementary School? When I was in Elementary School I remember we got tested for that.
I'm always amused how people perceive color-blindness. Many years ago a classmate sounded really impressed when I mentioned my father was color blind, like it was some kind of thing she never expected from him.
And it's true, you wouldn't expect it because it's not something that is obvious. My father knows how the traffic lights work out of experience and their position. He knows how to differentiate his favorite soccer team (which is red) on screen due to habit. The only cases I can remember where it was a problem to him was when deciding what color to paint our house (and if he was wearing a pink shirt went he went to see his boss at work).

to be fair if a person had never done any research and had no idea about it, the term "color blind" does imply an inability to see all colors

...I'm both colorblind AND left-handed. :'(

My nephew when he was small couldn't pick out certain color M&M's even though we went over them multiple times. Got worried that he may have had a learning disability, but turned out he was just color blind.
He says some pretty funny things, one time his mom in a bright red shirt was standing by a tree(not sure if the trunk or green branches) and he said "it's like your wearing camouflage" lol.

Sounds like he's missing the red receptor cones. Bit more severe than the color deficiency that most of us have.

If he's that severely color blind I dont know how he didnt know before.
I'm pretty badly color blind and it was super obvious even in pre-school that I was color blind.

I don't know what numbers you guys are talking about but all I can see on first glance are 101 dots of #818741, 89 dots of #c4c673, 71 dots of #a6aa55, 6 dots of #db9559, 16 dots of #cf5f47, 10 dots of #5a8a4c, 22 dots of #588b50.
Are my eyes okay?
All the people saying they see a 35.....ummmm....

It's pretty astonishing how odd people act relative to the actual effect. I'm color blind. It only really comes up when I have to pick between a lime green color and an ever so slightly different shade of light green. Trivial shit like that. But oh boy, do people flip the fuck over when I tell them I'm color blind. "Oh! You only see black and white? So does this look purple to you?" (holding an obviously green backpack)
Aside from having to stop playing a few puzzle games on android here and there because they decided to pick incredibly similar colors for their pieces, it's just not an issue. Similarly, kudos to the developers of Peggle for adding a "Color Blind" mode. It probably didn't need it, but it's nice for them to add it.

Thank goodness for that. Was straining to see something in the darker green, never resolved for me.

My friend was watching mortal kombat and whenever they had chameleon on screen he'd get confused for a second because he thoughy the costume color was the same as sub zero.
A seven-color wheel (red orange yellow green blue indigo violet) is balanced and named differently than a six-color wheel (red orange yellow green blue purple).
A good example of this is Megaman.
On the six-color wheel, Megaman is blue (helmet) and cyan (shirt).
But on the seven-color wheel, he's indigo (helmet) and blue (shirt).
