I’m some kind of red green colorblind and I can’t read it. I assume it says something nice about my people, yeah?

Dammit, red / green colorblind and I’m not able to read it either. I even took off my glasses, which sometimes helps. I can tell there’s something but I can’t make it out.

Very good sir, but that’s neither relevant or helpful to the poor colourblind fellow.

What? Just because they’re colorblind they have no use for a penis? That’s ableism.

For those like myself who cannot see I cranked up the saturation and shifted the hue so we don’t miss out on the fun.

I’m mildly colorblind and I can figure it out with some effort. I can kinda see a ever slightly variation and can trace it with my finger to figure out the shape of the letters.

What’s “DEHI5”?

Which kind of colorblindness? Because I’m red-green colorblind (the most common kind) and I can read it.

My dad is red green color blind. I just showed it to him and he couldn’t read it.

There are differing scales of deuteronopia (what red/green color blindness is called). The more overlap between the ranges your red and green cones’ wavelength reactivity, the worse the colorblindness. Mine is not super bad, just enough to be annoying sometimes.

Also, protonopia, further adding to things.

‘red/green’ means either you have difficulty seeing red, or maybe green. Then there is severity. I am evidently relatively severe protonopia. Like if you take a picture and just delete the red channel, I can’t really tell except if there’s some extremely pure red in it not mixed with anything else. Any hint of other colors in the mix will drown out any red perception.

It does appear that it’s a red/green color blindness thing, but perhaps the camera picked up the colors slightly differently than it would actually appear in person.

So, even though you can manage to read it on your screen, you might actually not be able to make it out in person. 🤷‍♂️

That would be my guess. It is slightly obscured, but I can definitely make it out.

Note that I did a shift to see what it should look like, shape wise, if you can see it.

I cannot make it out, at all, in the original picture. But it’s clear it shouldn’t even be slightly obscured/hard to trace after a shift.

Please correct my ignorance here - coloured reflections and colourblindness together is interesting!

If this pillow in OP is similar to one I have, even though its a green to black sequin pillow, the green sequins reflect various shades and almost colours, depending on angle and how the light catches it.

Is it possible that if the pillow was completely face on, it would be within your blindness range, but tiled slightly the colour shifts to a range you can see?

Well, first, there is not a range for which I am “blind” to greens/reds, as in I would only see greyscale or something. Rather, there is a range of overlap for which both my green and red cones in my retina react to the light and so I essentially see both green and red, making the colors hard to distinguish. (Fun fact. As a result of this, I actually see slightly more blue that the average person.)

But when it comes to the green sequins, the tone/brightness of the light shouldn’t matter. It is the frequency of the light, not its relative intensity (above a certain level), that determines which cones are activated. So if they are all different shades of the same hue, they may fall into that overlap. But if it is partially reflecting other colors of light, then yes, the angle of the sequins may change how I am able to perceive the color(s) depending on those reflections.

Thank you so much!

A green sequin always reflects a specific frequency but maybe have different tones and intensity - I see this as a “different” colour, but really its green and it would always appear grey to you?

Whereas an iridescent one as a different example which has multiple different colours depending on the angle (red to purple, but that idea), you maybe able to see it reflecting purple but could also appear greyscale?

Uh, shouldn’t it be “our” brother? Or are they half’s? Brother from one parent’s side and sister from the other parent’s side?

A+B have brother, B+C have screenshot OP, C+D have sister. So the screenshot OP has a brother and a sister that aren’t related to each other.

Then if the brother and sister have a child, can it become a genetically identical twin of the screenshot OP?

Huh.

You’re overthinking this way too hard. I like to say to my brother “your mother” and “your father”. We’re full siblings.

people usually use “my” with family members. it’s more being used to do it from childhood than implying anything regarding the relation.

More than one thing can be true. “My brother” “her brother” and “our brother” are all equally valid assuming the three people are siblings.

You completely lost me in that third paragraph, though.
