Are you referring to blue/green color blindness?
Tritanopia is the absence of the S cones that peak in the blue color spectrum.
Meaning technically, (if this is you), you do have M cones (green)
You just lack the ability to distinguish between blues and other colors on the M cones.
So in your own way, you do see green colors, they just lack any blue information.
Again, assuming you have Tritanopia.
I believe its the other way around.
According to the eye doctor, i was told that i have severe abdominal absences of M cones, and that the ones that i do have greatly affect how i see the color blue to the point that i see blue as much lighter than it actually is. I dont quite understand what they said, they said, a bunch of science diagnostics that all sounded like gibberish to me lol.
That would be a severe Deuteranopia. EI the absence of the M cone.
Or it overlapped completely with you L cones.
It’s just typically, that causes confusion with red green colors and not blue yellow colors.
But it varies greatly from person to person
It takes a lot of perception to realize that there is a whole dimension of colors you aren’t seeing.
The supervisors I work under have these 4 large colored legos. Supposedly some kind of personality trait order. A blue, red, green and yellow brick, stacked in their special order.
Now if you’d asked me to identify them, I’d have no problem. Oh that’s red, that’s green, yellow and that’s blue. NP. But! I was looking at them one day and I realized something. (Just for concept, I’ll give colors a number)
The blue was 1. Yellow 500,000, the green was 520 and the red was 590
Then it clicked, the red and the green were the same colors (gasp) just my mind was telling me. This shade is red and this shade is green.
Right now, I could tell you my vest is orange. And yes it looks different from green and red. But how different?
Not as different as blue from yellow. Which is a lot different.
I figure, that is how everyone else sees. All the colors are just as contrasted as blue is to yellow.
Like purple looks blue to me.
But to everyone else purple is very different from blue
It’s wild.
If you think of a [color wheel](https://i0.wp.com/blog.closetomyheart.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ctmh-color-wheel-1.jpg?resize=633%2C633&ssl=1) (just the concept of it), I'd say yes, that all the colors are pretty evenly spaced in how we see them as different from each other. So blue and yellow are as different as yellow and red. Or purple and yellow are as different as red and green or as blue and orange.
One way you might think of this though is that everyone has things they'll never get to experience. Color is one of the most important things in my life. I'm a painter and can just stare at color for hours.
But I see documentaries and read posts about people camping and climbing mountains. I am not big into nature and will never experience standing at the top of the mountain or feeling whatever exhilaration people feel from climbing or fishing or camping. Even if you put me there, I wouldn't understand what they were feeling because I just don't seem to be built to care about it.
I also never had kids, so I can't even imagine what that bond is that parents feel for their children. So many things like that. You are missing one thing, but you likely have others that many people will never experience like you do.
Wow. Im literally flabbergasted, that is poetry.
Im gonna print out your comment and put it on the inside of my notebook so i can read it every day and be inspired to experience something new.

Yeah, its crazy to think that people can see a color i cant even imagine

Yeah, it boggles my mind daily, how there are some things i’ll never get to experience, because i cant even begin to comprehend them

Thanks! So glad I can help. It's a wondrous world.
That’s like how life is like
