Hi doctor,Is it possible to be color blind to the color black? Like seeing a different color other than black?
Hi. No, you cannot be color blind to black or shades of grey. Congenital color blindness (patients have it since birth) can be one of three types: Acquired color blindness can be due to a variety of different factors like injuries, drug use, etc. They do not follow any rule like in congenital color blindness and can affect any spectrum of colors. In whatever the case, no one is blind for black or grey, and in fact, they see the colors they are blind for in shades of black and grey.
