Hi there,
I couldn’t find exact statistics made in the United States but I found the following statement:
In the United States it affects one in every 12 males and less than one in every 200 females.

SOOO..
To be clear,
there are 8% of men in Britain that are color blind and 0.5% of women in Britain that are color blind?

What about the United States? How many color blind people are there?

You can notice that in these boxes there are different named colors and they slightly change depending on which box you are looking at
They try to represent, as close as possible, how color blind people (depending on the type of colorblindness) see the colors

On another note, you are right about the social aspect of colors but this is as close as it gets and it can give you an idea 🙂

Hi,
Nice article but…
(a) what is the purpose of the boxes with the named colors all in different colours.
(b) what is “magenta”???? The same applies for “purple”???

I would also posit that a lot of color-blind people see colors differently or see the constituent parts of a color. In nature there is no such thing as a true color and we have social aspects to what is color: For example in Australia “white” is more “White” if it has a small tinge of yellow in it whereas in the UK they prefer a small tinge of blue. Color-blind people can see the difference….
