is there some kind of test i can take to show if i'm truely color blind?
christmas was mayhem, i told my grandma that the sweater i got was my favorite color, purple. it was infact brown.
I just bought a hat to match my blue coat. i guess, according to my family, it's very grey.
In my electronics class, i got a few questions wrong because i mixed up the colors of the resisters (mostly orange--->red, or purple---> brown) I'm a little nervous, i always thought my eyes were fine!

does anyone know of a test or something?

i'm afraid to find one thats inacurate. I'm especially afraid of the ones that end up popping up and scaring the shit out of you.

this is for the most common type of color blindness

although it's much more common for guys than girls

That's the typical kind of test they give for red green colorblindness.  Can you read the numbers?

The only thing with red green colorblindness is that your biological father would have HAD to be color blind for you to have this form of colorblindness.  They probably would have checked you as a child if that was the case.

maybe. my eyesight may just be getting worse then, with color detection as well?

I would get it checked out... if you're having trouble on tests because of colors, then there's something clearly wrong.  You may not be colorblind persay...

Has it always been this way, has anything happened recently that would change this?  It's better to get it checked out.  From what I know, I think my mom doesn't see properly with color out of one eye.  I don't think she was born like that, but she had some other complications.

Either way, it's better to get it checked out by a doctor.  It doesn't seem like anything that's too drastic, and it must have been a recent change, since you must have recognized colors properly at some point to be able to suddenly start getting them wrong, if this makes sense.

You can probably just Google something up, although your colourblindness sounds odd to me (I'm red\green colourblind, yet I only struggle with green trafficlights, which look white to me, and those multicoloured LEDs, which I can never tell the difference between easily), but, then again, there are more obscure things, I'm sure.

However, if your life ambition is to be a truck\bus driver, you might not be able to... and getting a drivers license might be harder than it should be.
