We have much to be thankful for when blessed with all of our senses, but what happens when they too turn out to be defective?? Not to be able to see the world in color is an unfortunate defect suffered by colorblind people but it isn’t that they are entirely unable to see color, 99% of colorblind people do see some extent of color but they do not possess the ability to see the entire color spectrum that allows us to see the total beauty of any colorful scene. Rather than color blindness, the term more accurately used is CVD or color vision deficiency. 0.5% of women and 8% of men suffer from varying levels of CVD with each level having a scientific name. There are four levels of color blindness called deutronomalia, Protanopia, Tritanopia, and monochromacy. Take a look at the various ways how color blind people see the world. The image below is how people like you and me see the world in normal color.

This is a common condition of color blindness called Deutranomalia. 4.63% and 0.36% of people suffer from this type of CVD without even realizing it. Those suffering from Deutranomalia see a subdued color spectrum especially when involving green and red.
