Colour blindness is more common than you might think!

It’s estimated that there are 300 million colour blind people in the world!

According to the statistics 1 in 12 men has Colour Vision Deficiency and 1 in 200 women has Colour Vision Deficiency. This equals to 8% of the male and 0.5% of the female population. So 4.5% of overall population in Britain has some form of Colour Vision Deficiency most of whom are male. That’s 2.7 million people just in UK!

This means that 95% of the colour blind community are men. 98% of those with colour blindness have red-green colour blindness.

My Experience 

World of colour vision deficiency

After the interview, I was inquisitive to experience the world of colourblind people. Using CV stimulator app on my phone, I spent an entire day doing my everyday work from buying fruits and vegetables to crossing roads to designing. I was astonished by the world of colour blind people, as they had very few ranges of colours. I was able to empathize and relate more to the difficulties that they are facing every day.
