How to Take a Colorblind Test Online

Playing red light-green light as a child may have been a fun way to spend time with friends, but some people had no concept of what the differences mean. Those who suffer from colorblindness can suffer from a variety of color troubles, including not being able to distinguish colors or seeing the whole world in only two colors. Some websites have developed a method to provide general colorblindness testing online, so you can get a feel for your own ability to distinguish color.
