What do total color blind people see?

Answer 1

That depends on the type of color blindness. There are three basic variants of color blindness.

Red/green color blindness is the most common. The affected person cannot differentiate between red and green.

Blue color blindness is an inability to distinguish both blue and yellow, which are seen as white or gray. It is quite rare. A total inability to distinguish colors is exceedingly rare. These affected individuals view the world in shades of gray. They frequently have poor visual acuity and are extremely sensitive to light, which causes them to squint in ordinary light.
it is different for different people
according to the trichromatic theory, color information is processed in the brain by comparing the relative activations of three different types of cone receptors in the retina. these three types of cone receptors are either sensitive to blue, responding best to short wavelengths of light, green, responding best to medium wavelengths, or red, responding best to long wavelengths. when colorblind, one or more of a person's cone receptors may be "filled" with the wrong photopigment color. this leaves less functional cone receptors. therefore, dichromats (people left with only two types of cone receptors) are incapable of distinguishing between some or all colors, depending on which cone receptors are lost. for instance, if the green cone receptor is accidentally "filled" with blue pigment then the ability to see green is lost. that person would only be able to blue and red and their derivatives. so, the colors a colorblind person can see all depends on which cone receptor color(s) are missing.
I am colour-blind because i can't see the colour green, but it doesn't show a diffrent colour, it hurts my eyes it is a blur. but i can still see it but not very effectively. I can see all the other colours but just not Green.

I hope this has answered your question
Well They Can See Black nd Only Black Because My Uncle Is Blind And I Asked Him One Day And He Said He Could Only Se Like Black When You Close Your Eyes Soo There You Go :-)
If you are color blind to all colors, your vision will be in black and white, (the colors you will see are black in the range from black to white). If you are only to a certain color, that certain color will be seen in black or white, depending on the shade. Hope it helps! :-)

There are two types of color blindness. The one I know about, is red-green. Its where they tend to flip these colors. People who are color blind don't technically see only black and white, they just confuse most or all their colors.
if your colour blind there are few colours you can see. Some people can't see dark others light, It depends on what you can and can't see. I have a friend and he can't see fluorescent colours. some may only see grey , black and white. Some may see blue and green
Contrary to popular belief, only a rare percentage colorblind people can only see in black and white. More commonly, colorblind people difficulty telling two colors apart, or being able to identify what color an object is. Colorblind people don't see anything "wrong", their perception of color is just slightly different. Only in a minority of colorblind people is colorblindness a major disability.
color blindness, apart from popular belief, is not the condition where you can only see black and white or shades of grey (this is only in extreme and rare cases.) a color blind individual can see most colors perfectly fine. the most common colors people have trouble distinguishing would be red from green (and sometimes brown), and purple from blue, and sometimes dark yellow with light green. although in my case of color blindness it is so mild that i can tell what any color is, i just can't those damn plate color tests. color blindness sucks, especially if you want to join the military! hope this answered your question.
