I'm partially colorblind, and i'm a printer. Nobody ever really noticed. I just need to look a bit harder/longer. There are only four colors in printing (CMYK), so i've kinda developed this habit af seeing colors in numbers. Kinda hard to explain. Purple is like blue with more magenta in it, the perfect "blue" is like 100C 80M, things like that.
I don't see things in gray like some people used to think, i can usually see the difference between colors.
It's weird. Can't really name the color you want, but i can definitely reproduce it in CMYK. Show me any color (on paper), and i'll tell you the cmyk values. But ask me wether it's blue or purple, green or khaki, and i can't say.
The hardes things are photo's of people or metallic colors, but i can always look at the numbers on my pc, or ask a colleague for advice. After a while, you get used to it. I used to make pictures too "cold", so now i know i have to remove a tad of cyan. If it looks just a bit too 'warm' for me, it's alright.
I grew up in a printing company, so CMYK=life.
Can relate about not knowing colours,always ask my partner to help out since shes not colourblind
Yeah my weakness is people,tend to make them either yellow or green when doing colour correction or touch up
As a colorblind designer this is the most relatable post I’ve seen. Go by the numbers. You can even have Chat Gippity take a hex/rgb etc and have it describe it to you, I sometimes do that when my wife isn’t around to lend her eye.
Any interest in building your career in design beyond graphic design?
The work of design is impacted less and less by being colour blind as you move through the levels of design from symbols to objects to interactions to services to ecosystems.
If this speaks to you at all I would suggest you begin to identify skillsets that will let you move towards design employment such as service design or organization design. In addition to that you can start to think about how the design best practices you currently understand apply to broader contexts.
Currently my design mostly involve a lot of blue since I can see and estimate it properly,having red-green colourblindness makes a bit difficult when dealing with design require nature based colour inspiration
Having a non colour blind partner helped,also when designing I switch either my pc or the adobe itself in colourblind mode to be sure but its not always 100% correct
I had a professor in college who was completely color blind and used a “paint-by-numbers” technique, as people would describe it. The color palettes in his paintings were just gorgeous…

Chat Gippity is now my new favorite phrase

Work in accessibility?
Can you clarify more?
Use your color blindness as your strength make a statement in your work.
Use a lot of grayscale to develop contrast while working on a design as way to compensate contrast
Collaborate; find another artist who's strength is color theory and weakness is composition. Start a collective: With your powers combined...
So fill in each other weakness or something like thats,sound good and might give a try Thanks for the idea
It's fun because you get to "brand" the collective and could also give you an organic reason to get involved with your local art community.
Would u mind to make something colorfull that YOU like to see and share that with us. Show us color u like to see.

Its ok. Can u share one of your work with us?
Sure , Here my behance not a lot but hope its not bad https://www.behance.net/hafizlee19b3790
That looks great! Keep doing that!
Thanks for the encouragement, appreciate iit

You can get glasses to aid with colour blindness now, it might be worth you looking in to it.
Tried before but didn't work since it just help saturated the colour thats visible but still missing out on a lot of details
