In many cases, it is detected when children start primary school and a teacher notices a child using unusual color choices when drawing pictures. Most people who are born with CVD don’t even realize they have it until they are older. People learn to live with it for their entire lives. On very rare occasions, it can be caused by trauma to the eye or to the brain, but almost everyone with CVD was born with it. I found an interesting YouTube video called “ No Such Thing As Color” that someone made that talks about what it’s like to be colorblind.Ĭolor vision deficiency (or CVD for short) is almost always something that is inherited from your parents. So when people with color vision deficiency look at something green, they may think that it is actually orange. For example, green may look very similar to yellow or orange. Most people who are colorblind aren’t completely blind to colors, but rather they have a visual deficiency that makes it difficult to discern some colors from other colors. A better description would be “color vision deficiency”. First of all, the word “colorblind” is not an accurate description. I knew a small percentage of people (mostly males) had it, but didn’t know much more beyond that. Up until several months ago, I, like probably many of you, didn’t really know much at all about colorblindness. Check it out and if you’re not careful, you might learn something. Let’s talk a little a bit about what being colorblind is, what it isn’t, why some people are colorblind and other people aren’t and what can be done in video games to help compensate for colorblindness. I’m back “Inside the Box” again to tell you about how an upcoming Borderlands 2 update will (among other things) bring a colorblind mode option to all platforms. Hi!
