Today, I failed hard at a color test. I thought it was a joke because most of the colors looked the same to me. Now I know why people laugh at my clothes color choices. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found one of those online color blindness tests where you have to distinguish a colored number from the pattern. Not being able to, I spent hundreds of dollars on medical tests to discover that the pattern online was a joke. FML
Today, I failed a Rorschach test. How do you fail a Rorschach test? WTF. FML
Today, I tried to dye my hair blonde. Turns out, green hair doesn't suit me. FML
Today, in an effort to save money, I dyed my hair at home. I used the wrong shade, or brand, or maybe I shouldn’t have bought a cheap one, but now I look like a mutant traffic cone. My boss asked if I was “expressing myself” or “just having a midlife crisis.” I can’t afford to fix it, so I’m stuck like this for weeks. FML
Today, I thought it would be fun to tint my hair. An hour later, I resemble a blueberry and it looks like a Smurf exploded in my bathroom. FML
Today, after passing various interviews and tests, I was given a great job pending a pre-employment medical test. Now I'm jobless and colorblind. FML
Today, I decided I wanted to dye my hair a medium brown. Little did I know, some jerk switched the hair dye boxes. My hair is now bright orange. FML
Today, I tried doing a hair dye at home for the first time. I misread the instructions and left the dye on for twice the recommended time. Now my hair is the color of a traffic cone and brittle enough to break if I sneeze. FML
Today, I had a giant Scantron test. After putting 10 answers, I noticed every single answer was A. I got freaked out and started putting random answers. Turns out every answer on the test was A. I failed. FML
Today, I walked into school confident about the new hair color I'd had done over the weekend. My drama teacher apparently dyed her hair the same color; everyone noticed and thought I'd copied her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should feel special, it's pretty rare for women to be colour blind.

Cold hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colors from our sight Red is gray and yellow white But we decide which is right... and which is an illusion...

At least now you know and can make adjustments accordingly.

Why would that be hell? OP can color things however she likes. I've seen five year olds with normal color vision coloring grass purple and flowers green, because they felt like it.

Because elementary schools deal with the brightest and purest versions of colors, which most people can see, even with some color deficiency.

I know how that feels, OP. The same thing happened to me. Check out the computer programs you use and any games you play. Many of them have special settings to make things easier for colorblind or color deficient people. My color deficiency filter on World of Warcraft makes me glad I discovered my vision issue when I did. Things are so much easier to see now. ;)

Color blind people see colors. The thing that is different is that we dont see the differences between many colors. It's never black white and grey, for anyone, as I understand it. The way I dress is that ALL of my clothes match each other. As far as driving is concerned the green lights look white, same as the street lights in cities. I've ran a few red lights in DC over the years. I digress, I have learned where each light is so even if I couldn't tell the difference between red and green. the bottom is go the top is stop. You just have to remember more.

Color blindness is an x linked disease and in order for a woman to have it, she would have two defective x chromosomes. In the grand scheme of things, colorblindness is not the worst x linked disease out there.
