Color Blind? Help Us Develop Our New Product For Anopia

So What If You Are Color Blind?

You will be happy to know that we are close to solving that persistent visual anomaly in our visual music color system and color-coded musical instrument sticker guides, so that you can still visually see every single note by using the shades of the colors you primarily see (i.e. due to the varying lower or non-degrees of red, green or blue visual perception). These are the three main types of Genetic Anopia, or the inability to see certain specific colors do to missing cones in the eye. We are close to solving this in a new product we're designing for those with Protanopia, Deuteranopia and Tritanopia.


The first color swatch below is what everyone will look at but not necessarily what everyone will see, so if you are colorblind, this is the swatch you should look at to see if all color hues are visible and discernible from one another.


7 True Colors That Can Be Perceived Normally
No Missing Color Cones - Can See All Color Hues
Red, Orange, Yellow, Mint, Cyan, Azure, Blue

These colors are what is actually printed and physically distributed to represent all the 12 musical notes found in the Musical Colors Visual Music Color System, where both are similar at first, then deviate from one another starting at Green. Do not pay attention to the Note Color Key below, it is only there for reference and was designed for visual learners with no blindness.



The three following color swatches are so that people who are not colorblind can see what colorblind people actually see when looking at the true color swatch above, depending on their physical eye affliction. When colorblind people look at the following three swatches, one of them will appear identical to the first swatch above, and which will confirm the type of anopia you have.


7 Colors Perceived For Those With Protanopia
Missing Red Cones - Cannot See Red Hues
Army, Ochre, Yellow, Sunny, Grey, Lavender, Blue



7 Colors Perceived For Those With Deuteranopia
Missing Green Cones - Can-t See Green Hues
Brown, Honey, Sepia, Peach, Lilac, Azure, Blue



7 Colors Perceived For Those With Tritanopia
Missing Blue Cones - Cannot See Blue Hues
Red, Rose, Pink, Sky, Arctic, Teal, Ocean



Those with Achromatopsia or Monochromacy have total color blindness and can only see shades of Grey, Black, and White. If you are one of these people, there are still ways to use musical instrument note sticker guides. We will be releasing one soon based on the following grey scale color schema and your feedback. Let us know further below if this swatch matches your grey scale perception of any of the other color swatches provided below for those with partial color-blindness.



If you have any type of Protanopia, Deuteranopia, or
Tritanopia, let us know how far we're off or whether we've actually nailed it!

Here are all four so you can cross reference them easily.
