Question Color blind?

I have known that I am red/green color blind for quite some time. I wondered how many others here have the same problem. Here is a quick test to determine if you are or are not color blind. http://www.everwonder.com/david/colorblind.html
I would love to be able to see color the way it should be.

I was able to see all the numbers.

I don't know if this is common or not but by covering each eye independently I noticed that my left eye see's warmer colors (reds/yellows) where my right eye see's the cooler colors (blue/gray).

No, but my wife is. It is pretty rare for a chick to be color blind

Wow! My left eye has trouble. I could clearly see the 25 and only the 56 because I had seen it with both eyes.

I can make out all of the numbers with both/right eye.

My left eye is 'going away'.

No not color blind by that test... interesting there is a subtle difference between both eyes.

And WTF is up with the lame audio clip?

The first umber on that website (#25) is plain as day. I also barely made the #8 andcould partially make out the #56 & #29. I see absolutely nothing on the #6 & #45...NADA.

My red 951 looks red to me and kermit the frog looks green, but I often have trouble with wiring (discerning browns, greens, reds). I also have trouble discerning some shades of blue/purple. While I definitely have color vision issues, I still see and appreciate colors, but probably not exactly like others do.

For what it is worth, I ONLY see the 25 in the upper left circle. I can see no other numbers in any of the circles.

ditto,
Even knowing what the other numbers are, I can't find them in there.

That seems like a high percentage of color blind respondents

I should have voted yes, too.

My left eye is colorblind.
