While most of us can see the various colours in the world, many can't and they are called people with colour blindness. Every year, September 6 is dedicated to people who are colour blind and is observed as International Color Blind Awareness Day. The day is also celebrated as John Dalton's birthday who is extremely popular for his work in atomic theory. However, Dalton is known as one of the first scientists to study color blindness.

While colour blindness is affected to a huge population many don't even know they have 'colour blindness', commonly called the colour vision deficiency. Some easy online colour blindness tests are designed for such people which can help people diagnose if they are colour blind. Some complicated patterns having different colours are used to find out a hidden number, letter or shape. One can easily take the test and find out if they have colour blindness. Below you'll find a similar test that will help u find out if you are colour blind or not. These pictures mostly featuring numbers and letters in bright colours and clearer dots will help you understand.
