Try this app: colorblind pal. It'll get values that make reading the results easy. There was a person that showed how to use it with the test kit. I'll see if I can find that post.
In the off chance this may help you, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal
That app has helped me with a few random things over the past few years. It has a color name mode, where you point the cross hair at a color and it'll tell you what color it actually is. It also has a color shift mode where it will shift colors to shades more recognizable based on your type of color blindness.
ColorBlind Pal lets you use a phone camera to identify colors. Point a reticle at what you need to identify and it tells you what color that is. Hopefully that helps?
I don't have much to help but I do have stats. 8% of men have your condition and 0.5% of women. That means one woman out of 200 will have it and 16 men out of a room of 200 of them.
You could use an app to help. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal
With that app you can also explain to your colleagues how a color deficient world looks like. While you're at it, you can tell them it's a more common deficiency than they'd expect.
Green as grass.
Maybe this could work? Not tried it myself, just googled a bit to see if it existed something like this.
Have you tried a colorblind phone app? There are several available. Basically you view things on your phone screen, and it will shift the hues to a part of the spectrum that you can distinguish more easily.
This one also lets you tap a part of the photo, and it will show you where it is on the spectrum + give a name for the color. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal
This app hasn't been updated in years, but it works on my pixel 3a: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal&hl=en_US&gl=US
In the filter mode, you can select orange-red, and the amber lights stand out with everything else reduced to gray scale, including the green lights. It works both live and with still photos.
I just used my app called color blind pal on android and I am able to hold cables like you did in my hand and have it tell me what is what. Do you have an android? link to app with its own screen shots here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal&hl=en_AU&gl=US
Yes there is, it's called Color Blind Pal: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal
Its main purpose is to use the camera to tell colorblind people what color something is, but when you click the 'I' icon you can tap 'color blindness type' and select 'simulate Protanopia'. Then go back to the main screen, and click the 'inspecting color' button so it changes to 'filtering colors', and make sure the mode is set to 'shift' at the bottom.
Now you can use the camera to see what the world is like with protanopia. The app isn't really straightforward to use, but it does work once you know how to use it.
Deut here... can't see a thing. It's just a load of coloured dots. The "Color Blind pal" application on my phone picks out "16".
may I sugest an app that shows grdients for collors, IDK what would work best for you but experimentation will go far
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal&hl=en
there might be some extra options on PC by playing with the video card options - like gama to distinguish colors by gradient of grey
IDK much but it could help if you look into it A black and white filter might also show green as a grey and red as a diffrent grey - making the difference possible
Ich weiß nicht ob es funktioniert, da ich selber keine Rot-Grün Schwäche habe aber ich habe von einer Android-App gelesen die dir dabei helfen kann. Leider habe ich nach 10 Minuten Suche nicht die ursprüngliche App gefunden, aber die kommt schon sehr dicht dran:
For some reason, it did not allow me to install it, until I modified the link to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal
The part at the end of your link are probably triggering a bug in google play or something
also available on play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal&hl=en_US
If you're using an Android phone, there's an app you can use to help you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal
Not OP but am also mildly colorblind. Depends on the severity and the colours affected. You can have the less severe forms (like me) where one or more colours will be less intense. I have a red deficiency so blue, violet and purple look practically the same, but generally I can paint like colorsighted person.
If you're more severely colorblind (one or more colours completely missing from your vision) you can either trust the label blindly or rely on an app like Colorblind Pal which can tell you in plain English what colour you're looking at, or replace a colour you're blind to with another one, so that you can know that a given hue of yellow in the processed image is actually bright pink, for example.
One of my children is color blind, and it took some time to find out. Best thing out there to diagnose IMHO outside of a professional is something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal&hl=en_US&gl=US this one is for Android but I imagine there is one out there for iPhone as well. If you point the camera at something it will tell you the color beneath the cursor... with some experimentation it becomes clear real fast. If you are like "thats blue" for example and the camera says its purple then its a clear indicator.
Even better there's augmented reality apps that modify colours so you can see them, or allow for non-colour blind people to experience what it's like
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal&hl=en_GB&gl=US
Surely there must be something for colorblindness in the store? There are probably more people with colorblindness than other accessibility algoriths that are implemented on devices.
I found these two, but I think they only work with the camera.

Real-time color mapping filters have existed since before GPUs. All modern devices can handle it. The red shifters and blue blockers can easily be modified for the colorblind. This may require rooting on Android, so you might consider looking for a petition. I expect that there is already something for PCs.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal&hl=en_GB Is this close? I can see a few Ishihara's with this which I cannot otherwise.
I got an android app instead that shifts colors and allows me to see some Ishara tests that I do not see otherwise: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal&hl=en_US Could this work?
Dang I never thought about that with these maps but I bet it must be pretty frustrating. I'm not sure how well it works, but have you tried using an app like this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal
I tried Color blind pal and it got all of the colors right, with the exception of the yellow ring of the inductor - there it insisted on "vivid green" or "bold green", no matter how I tried to nudge it into yellow.
Have you tried using this app before?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal&hl=en_IN
There are apps that use your camera to determine colors. My colorblind friend has one that tells you the colors by name.
I think it's this; it's realtime: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal
I have tritanopia (blue/yellow) colorblindness and this app helps me out an immense amount. I'm finally able to tell that some of the blue shirts I own aren't actually gray/greenish, and designing apps has become my h easier/apps look much better.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal
An app, with no ads, or in-app purchases, that tells you what colour things are
Or, you can get an app called colorblind pal which will help you see the colors of your chart and samples.
for us android users, there's an android app that does this. let me see if I can find it.
I don't know if it's unique to me, but the only way I've been able to overcome life-long phobias and anxieties is by approaching it as something interesting to explore. I might suggest taking this nervous energy and channeling it into a curiosity about how colorblind artist works and exploring this as a possible benefit. I know it sounds strange, but that fear means there's something novel to explore.
I can't claim to experience the same thing, but recently learned that my vision might be degrading due to Multiple Sclerosis related eye nerve weirdness that comes with the condition. I realized my own vision may eventually get to the point where I'm 100% greyscale like my gram's (she's got M.S. too). Once I managed to find a calm headsapce to process this fear, I was able to unlock things that I would never have imagined existed.
I found this colorblindness app and have been playing around with it a bit to try and learn a new way of looking at the world.
Perhaps you can think about it as uncovering a mystery, and now have access to a whole new world that you didn't know existed. Like the 'aha' moment in a detective novel. It might not seem like it now, but it could lead to something that no-one else has ever experienced when paired up with aspects of your autism.
My own problems made me wonder what it would be like to 'paint' with texture and I've been trying to find out what beautiful things would 'look like' to someone who can echo-locate. I uncovered that churches and cathedrals may have been designed a certain way because of the soundcape it brings. Having been obsessed with medieval architecture as a youth, this blew my mind. Maybe you'll uncover something really interesting about art? Like did you know that Vincent van Gogh's weird eyes might have been a result of seizures / due to taking fox glove? I uncovered all sorts of weird dopamine and creativity associated chemicals while exploring that space.
It will be ok. It sounds like you're struggling with some other stuff at the same time and that anxiety may be bleeding over. Just focus on getting thru that and doing your best. Once you have a safe bit of time to explore this scary thing, you may find it's more of a good thing that it seems like now.
You likely have an intense interest in art; There's a whole world of art techniques and design that revolve around colorblindness that may take on a new meaning when looking at it from this new found insight. There was a good story on NPR back in 2014 where even an art professor realized he was color blind. He was better for it. A better artists.
You're now facing a challenge that many others haven't faced. Courage isn't about not feeling that fear, its about dealing with it in a way that makes you stronger for it. It feels shitty, but so do growing pains.
Colorblind pal is a great app. Here's a link to the app
I wouldn't recommend the glasses as of now, an app called Color Blind Pal is super useful for me as I'm going into electrical engineering. It is free, it can simulate and correct colorblindness, as well as filter images. You can also move a cursor to identify colors.

There are also apps like this for real life :) I hope they help, my dear bro.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal I use this! Very useful!
Not OP but also mildly colorblind, check out this app if you're on Android.
I am not color blind but this kind of apps might be useful for color blind people:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal&hl=en&gl=US
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal looks like they might have stuff like that too?

>So I’m colorblind. How do I properly punch keystones besides guessing?
I used to work with a guy who was colorblind. He couldn't tell which pair was which by looking, but he could tell them apart. I don't know if they actually looked different to him or if he was just going by the number of twists.
Any time we did wiring he'd have to ask somebody else which was which. But after we'd identified the pairs for him he was good to go.
>I can see the blue/white pair, but the other three pairs are green. Apparently, there’s a pair of two solid greens, and two pairs of green/white.
If you're working with CAT5/5e/6 you're looking at four pairs: * Green / Green-White * Orange / Orange-White * Blue / Blue-White * Brown / Brown-White
>Is there a better way to differentiate each twisted pair?
I'm not colorblind so I can't vouch for its utility, but I did find an article with some suggestions.
Of course you're not just dealing with the cabling itself. Different patch panels have different pin-outs, and they're usually color-coded.
If this is just a one-off issue fixing your own house you can maybe look into an app to assist in visualizing the colors in a useful way.
But if you're looking at doing this kind of work routinely you might want to look into buying a pair of glasses to assist you.
Colorlite teamed up with samsung once: https://www.sammobile.com/2017/11/27/samsung-seecolors-color-blind-app and also this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal&hl=en_US sometimes helps me out.
Sounds good. While you wait for Bungie to implement it you may find something like this useful

They makes apps to help with that. I use this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorblindpal.colorblindpal
Or you could use one if the many colorblind apps to check the color of your poop...

Does anybody know how well those glasses compare to phone apps that promise the same?
Well take this as a learning experience and come up with a contingency plan. Edit to make this offensive: I would have thought you would have at least thought of an alternative since you knew the risks, and yet you still blame them. Come on, being colorblind you should come up with some basic strategies ahead of time to deal with these situations, for example with a billboard you can use one of these two apple apps(these are simple apps, so there should be even more choices on the Android store).
