Am colour blind, need help identifying bands
<< < (3/13) > >>
JohanH:
I have a bit of red-green color vision deficiency (that's not blindness!) and I can see that it is more red, although it looks a bit brownish. Gimp tells me #9a584a from a random point, which is a shade of red (60.4% red). So 22 µH.
David_AVD:
I reckon 22 (not 11) too. I hate it when they use a red that's bordering on brown, or orange that's bordering on red.
mc172:
It looks brown to me, especially when compared to the red in the bottom of the 2nd picture.

To the OP: you can import the photo into a paint program and look at the RGB values of the colors and see what matches best with these color values: https://people.duke.edu/~ng46/topics/color-code.htm

Also looks 2x red to me.

That 2nd tip exactly my thoughts as well. Digital devices aren't handicapped.
I've Myopia (pretty common) with strength -4 ish (can't read anything more than a foot away). When relaxing I am tired wearing glasses, so I put them down.. but occasionally I do need to check things in the distance.

Mobile phone to the rescue. I hold it right in front of my face with the camera app (with small/wide angle sensor views) and occasionally some digital zoom to get an idea about what's going on there in the far distance.. works great. I imagine computer color probing can be similarly useful.

That's the problem in real life though, the colours are never as clear cut as any data sheet depiction or computer generated chart.
