Using Scanner as color analyzer

I hope that you were more diplomatic than saying, "well it might be that YOU CAN"T SEE RED!!"
The chromatically challenged see colors but do not perceive them in the same way as people with so called normal vision.
I once had a lab partner in an electronics class who could not read the color codes on resistors and capacitors.

Hi , If you have trouble reading the color ? you can check the Total Color Blindness Test Numbers

Please note! type of lighting has an influence on the correct assessment of the color .

Yeah, I ve done all those in a Doctor's office...I failed miserably! lol
Even the ones I am supposed to get, I don't.

The biggest problem is lighting.
In the right light, with the right surrounding colours, things will appear.
Even just shifting my head around seems to make numbers appear and disappear.

The Red/Green deficiency is the most common male problem and obviously I have that.
But I am affected by every other deficiency (I think theres 43?).
Some a little better than others.

If I am told what number is supposed to be in the circle/dot tests, I can sometimes find it.
But if I have to find it on my own, there is no way.

Test #1 for example, I thought I could see a 3 if I shifted my head around (gamma adjusting) but I wasn't sure, until I read the caption.
Plates #7 and #15, I can see.
Plate #17 I was unsure what it was until I read the caption...now I can see it (barely).

lol this is fun though.
I see there are some other colour blindness tests...

haha this one is funny:
Total Color Blindness Test Lines | Two Docs' Color Vision Tests

I can't see any of these lines I am supposed to trace!
I couldn't even find the "x"s
yes, I can see the squiggly line in test plate #6.
Test plate #5 has a number 3 in it.
LOL

For those of you who are color blind, have you considered building "grayscale" models?

For subjects that existed pre-1960s, we are accustomed to seeing them in period black & white photos. A grayscale panzer in a grayscale diorama might look unexpectedly authentic, reminiscent of historic photos. Maybe a grayscale WW1 plane displayed against a b/w photo backdrop, a grayscale ship on a gray ocean?

Obviously you haven't seen my Little Willie WW1 Tank model?

Color blindness hasn't always been a bad thing. Dad told me that in WWII such men were snapped up by the reconnaissance units to be spotters in light planes. As they saw things by shape, color-based camouflage didn't fool them.

A smart phone such as the iphone can do accurate color analysis. There are apps for it.

Of Course! There's an app for that. Thanks kcorbin
