im not color blind myself but am helping a friend get set of chips who is color blind. he currently has a set of coin inlay chip with a blue $10, black $100 and purple $500 and he can not tell the diffence between them - except the small denom on the chip.

anyone else color blind and found a great chip that helps them out?

thinking about doing just doing a custom set with larger denoms that stand out for him.

any help would be appreciated.

On the cheaper side I would suggest 4ACES
If you want to spend .80-.90 per chip the Chipco Classics are real nice.

Both have large text denominations.

T-molds, I got white, plum and canary yellow...no mistaking those. Dark chips and edgespots with similar colors (white in many plastic chips) can be confusing. The best is greatly contrasting chip colors with progressivley different edgespots. My Samurais are great, easy to tell apart. Any dark blue/purple and blacks are easily confused as are pink/gray/off white, and green, earthtones. Just don't mix these colors in a set, one from each and you are cool. If you do use them get edgespots that make confusing the chip impossible.

I was playing with a guy at my table who could not distinguish red fom green...so he had them all stacked together and mixed...i don't know of any chips that would help them out except for ones with big written denoms...

Go Cali colors for red/green color blind.

please correct me if i'm wrong, but i heard that when people are color blind they usually can make out SOME color. for instance i had a teacher who was color blind and could only make everything out in shades of green and yellow? strange? yes
true? yes
common? i have no clue

I'm colorblind, there are different types of colorblindness. If I remember correctly, a normal eye has 3 types of rods and cones, picking up the full color spectrum. In a Dichromatic colorblind person (most common type, like me) you have 2 kinds of rods and cones, depending on which rod you don't have determines your colorblindness (red/green or blue/yellow or whatever combo). In extreme cases a person will be monochromatic and have only one type of rod and cone, this is your black and white type colorblindness, but not very common.

I am red/green colorblind, I can see red, but probably not as you do. Anything with red in it I have a hard time seeing the red part, pale pinks look gray, purple and blue are one in the same.

It's pretty easy to see what it's like being colorblind. Look at a brown crayon, put a lighter shade of brown crayon near it. Now have someone tell you one is brown and one is green...whatever. Everything is association anyway, the sky is blue, trees are green, grass is green. Those pretty purple sunsets...eh, just a weird shade to me. Those f---ing leafpeepers that clog the roads up here in fall, to look at stupid leaves that aren't that much different, just the yellow orange looking ones. Green lights are whitish and red lights are at the top, if it's yellow and dark, you slow and see if it moves up to darker red. The cities with the traffic lights that are horizontal...ugh, glad I don't live there.

Different people have different forms of color blindnees. Some people see different hues, others cant see certain colors.

Just get large denoms and you should be okay..

Dichromacy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Dichromat)
Jump to: navigation, search
Dichromacy in humans is a moderately severe color vision defect in which one of the three basic color mechanisms is absent or not functioning. It is hereditary and sex-linked, predominantly affecting males.[1] Dichromacy occurs when one of the cone pigments is missing and color is reduced to two dimensions.[2]

Organisms with dichromacy are called dichromats. Dichromats can match any color they see with a mixture of no more than two pure spectral lights. By comparison, a trichromat requires three pure spectral lights to match all colors in their visual spectrum.

There are various kinds of colour blindness. Protanopia is a severe form of red-green colour-blindness, where there is impairment in perception of very long wavelenths, such as reds. To these sufferers, red are perceived as beige and greens tend to look like reds. Protanomalyis a less severe version. Deuteranopia consists of an impairment in perceiving medium wavelengths, such as greens. Deuteranomaly is a less severe form of deuteranopia. Those living with deuteranomaly cannot see reds and greens like normal people, however they can still distinguish them in most cases. A more rare form of colour blindess is tritanopia, where there exists an inability to perceive short wavelengths, such as blues. Sufferers have trouble distinguishing between yellow and blue and tend to mistake greens for blues and yellows for reds.

i would get custom clays with really different edgespot patterns for each denom.
