Yeah, the number is in green and the background circles are light brown to beige.
The meme actually uses the exact same image as the wiki page about the tests. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishihara_test
The number “74” should be clearly visible to viewers with normal color vision. Viewers with red-green color blindness will read it as “21”
So at least I’m seeing what I was supposed to see!
so you see 71 if your color vision is different.
I have mild Deuteranopia and there is no hint of a 7.
21 or maybe 81.
I think I can make out a 21 with some squinting.
Spiders aren’t insects.


It’s really not that bad. There is a good chance you can go through life with a mild red/green blindness and never notice it.
I only learned that I had it when they did the medical exam for joining the Army. And the only other time it effected me was during shop class, when I regularly used the wrong electric resistors when building my circuts, even though all my drawings and calculations where correct. Well, they are very small and colour coded with just the wrong colours … but I only figured that out years later when I got my diagnosis from the medical.
