That system was in fact invented by a Japanese opthalmologist, Shinobu Ishihara, in the 1910s.

Amusing aside: my dad taught in art schools most of his working life. During the '70s they briefly included testing for colorblindness using the Ishihara system for candidates applying to the degree courses. But they had to drop it very quickly - far too many of the good students turned out to be colorblind. Amazing how many artists (especially in graphics) can't see all the colors - strange but true.

Then again, excellent classical percussionist Evelyn Glennie has been profoundly deaf since birth, so...

Ceri why would you post a picture of a circle made up of little brown dots??

seriously though, although I don't have 20/20 vision my colour perception is excellent. here's a neat little test.

I'll brag, I actually got a perfect score on this:

Her test was basically like that but the colours were near matches so people with a small amount of colourblindness couldn't tell the difference. A guy I played in a band with was almost finished an electronics course when it was discovered he had a certain degree of colourblindness and he had to quit because the banding patterns of resistors(or is it capacitors?) was close in some cases and that could cause major problems when wiring up circuit boards etc.

OK, I just tried that test again. This time I scored 0. Ye-e-e-a-a-ah!

Now I shall never, ever try it again. Only one way to go from perfection... :lol:
