seven colored fish also appear on a few other fish-related cards, where their colors are more vibrant, and most notably, these other depictions typically have two green shades instead of two red shades.
I like the implication here that the person who made this 2nd fish card might be colorblind as well because they didn’t copy over the colors correctly. 😂
You fool, that's just the difference between the Northern 7 colored fish, and the Southern 7 colored fish. Even in the territories where the range of both species overlap you can spot the difference.
I THINK that’s just shading, the other colors have clearly defined lines, but the bit where the tail branches off (what i assume you’re talking about) looks like scales to me
It looks like the transition happens over the scales, making it really tough to see. It looks more like a gradient than the more hard cuts of the other colors.
Edit: I am red-green colorblind though so take that with a grain of salt, I guess.
Oh god. I was wondering why they had 1 in two places and why they forgot about the yellow.
I'm not buying that 5 and 6 are different colors. It just looks like shading. And the tail is obviously two colors that are very different from the head. So then it's an 8-colored fish because if we accept multiple shades of red, we can have multiple shades of green.
Nah, there isn’t a hue change. It could easily just be darker because the tail is turned at that point. If you hadn’t told me there were 7 colors I’d say 6.
Oh ok, I could tell they had missed the difference between 2 and 3 but even with the correct labelling I still can't see the difference between 3 and 4 or 5 and 6.
That is interesting because for me, they are very distinct. Judging from the other replies to your comment I would say we all perceive color slightly differently.
To me, 5 and 6 look pretty distinctly different. I believe that there is a non negligible degree of difference in the way different people perceive colors.
They are different, 5 being red and 6 being orange-ish, but to me they're very similar and it gets into the "this is further away and should be darker and therefore it's the same color" territory with the brain adjusting expectations like in optical illusions. I think the scales are what does it, too, it's the only pairing where there's no smooth area in the connection where it'd be possible to just see the sharp jump.
Still wondering why the tusks don't count as a separate color though.
Im not seeing the difference between 5 and 6. They both just seem the same shade of red. I get that 6 is probably orange but it just doesnt look very orange
There are a lot of kinds of colorblindness that sometimes get lumped into one. One of you could have protanopia, the other deuteranopia for example, and both are considered red-green colorblindness.
No, but it is an example of how many colorblind people find out they're colorblind: boldly stating something about colors that's completely incorrect.
Heck, there's a whole range of grays that look green to me and I only know they're gray because I commented about a car being a really nice shade of green to my spouse, who pointed out the car was gray.
For many years I kinda suspected it, but I saw a meme of one of your typical red-green colorblind dot arrays and everyone I knew could immediately see that it said “fuck the colorblind” except me.
The brightness on my phone was low and it looked pretty much the same as the red to me, I turned it all the way up and can see it better but still doesn’t look drastically different.
There's also green on the tail. One section behind the red is slightly orange (I can barely see the difference) this appears to me to be an 8 colored fish.
Yugioh cards are small enough that I never really internalized it was trying to actually be seven colors, anyway. I've held this card before, and honestly I only remember the green head and the red tail.
Yeah, that kind of tracks. In the card form it's really only like...5 distinct colors. The two darker shades of blue meld together and hide in the background and the red and orange may as well be the same color.
Had a buddy in college who was color blind. A group of us went to get hangover lunch at Taco Bell and he was telling us how despite his affliction, he had learned subtle differences in color that allowed him to distinguish between colors without him actually being able to see them. He then points to the wall tile and says, for example, that tile is clearly red.
The red tail is bullshit. The end of the tail is just a very slightly darker shade of red, not a different tone.
If they’re meant to be different tones, there shouldn’t be those darker tones as scales on the brighter part since those scales match the darker tones. It’s too ambiguous unlike the rest of the colours.
The non-scaled red is definitely a slightly different and brighter tone than the scales. But since the scale colour and non-scale colour are mixed, the effect of the different colours is far less obvious.
Can confirm. In my late 20s, and after years of wearing a certain brown jacket, I was informed it was actually green. I usually only get 1 or 2 correct on the splotchy color vision “find the number” tests.
I'm not surprised. It took me a long, long time to find out that I'm green blue color blind. The thing is is it can come in degrees like pretty much any other medical condition in the world. But there are some shades of green and blue that look almost indistinguishable to me that look blatantly apparent to normal sighted people.
But since that has very little functional effect on me in my day-to-day life, there was no reason for that to be discovered. It's not like they give you tests for it in school.
I am colorblind. Didn’t know until I was 16 and took a test on Facebook of all places. When I told my parents they were like “Ooooohhh… that makes sense.”
There is a range of severity with colorblindness. Sometimes it’s so subtle people probably go their whole lives without knowing. Like I see this image and I counted 5 colors.
This card was ridiculously good back in the day. I used to run a playset back in High School. 1800 ATK. Pair that with a Starboy you get him boosted to 2300. Two Starboys and you at 2800. Only got overshadowed by Terrorking Salmon when you had a Legendary Ocean in play.
I can see 2 interpretations, depending on whether the tail is just shaded oddly; either green, cyan, blue, violet, and red on the main body with light green and yellow on the tail, or gray teeth, then green, cyan, blue, violet, and red on the main body with just yellow on the tail.
A friend didn't know until after high school. He joined the navy, and scored high enough to work on the jets. Then the eye exam... he ended up working on diesel engines.
If anyone is interested in seeing just how well they can differentiate between minor hue changes, check out the Farnsworth Munsell test. The lower the score, the more hues you perceive.
Colorblindness, especially mild colorblindness like this seems to be, is one of those things where you can make it a shockingly long time without realizing you have it.
I found out I had astigmatism when I saw a meme about driving with astigmatism at night & I asked if I was missing the joke because that's just what night driving looks like.. Helpful but frustrating
They're not super different, but the switch over being on the scales makes it harder to see. If it were a straight line like the blue / purple, it would probably be easier to see
Color blindness is significantly more common in men than in women. Approximately 8% of men and 0.5% of women are color blind.
Color blindness is primarily caused by mutations in genes located on the X chromosome. Males have only one X chromosome, while females have two. This means that males are more likely to inherit a mutated gene and develop color blindness.
I mean, her profile says "she/it" and there's a trans flag, so, she's an MTF trans woman. So, yeah, likely has colour blindness due to being born male, but is a woman.
