I have done some research on the internet about people who suffer from colorblindness. At the age of 4 or 5 years old, children beginning to know colors and can differentiate the colors but what if the children have colorblindness? How and what you will do in order to detect colorblind children? Parents of a colorblind children, teachers of a colorblind students, or people who suffer from colorblindness are welcome to response in this topic. What are the problems, difficulties and challenges that colorblind people face?

I am not really familiar with the problems that color blinded people have my friend I am sorry to say that. I just wanted to share something I know that helps them. Some may ask that why is there a color blue and red on an ambulance and other vehicles like the police car. I was told that it was for the benefit of those who can not recognize some colors. According to them that if you can not recognize the color blue, you will surely recognize the color red and it works the other way around. I was not really sure of what those lights do before but having been told about it, I was happy that much thinking for the welfare to those who are color blinded people was given.

Thanks for the info about ambulance and police. When I go deep into this problems, I can feel how the colorblind people feels but not real as them. Everything in this world full with colors and they cannot see some colors. For example, they might need help in order to buy fruits or maybe in choosing clothes because there are some colorblind people who end up buying only black and white shirts.

That really is sad. I wonder how indifferent they would feel once in this kind of situations. How I wish that no one has to go through this.
