Some people see colors differently because they have special magic in their eyes. Imagine your eyes are like color sensors, but not everyone has the same kind of sensors! Some people only have two kinds of sensors, while others have three or even four. This is why some people see red and green as different shades, and others might mix them up into a new color altogether.
Examples
- A red apple looks red to most people, but to someone who is red-green color blind, it might look like a brownish or grayish apple.
- Two friends are looking at the same dress, one sees it as blue and white, while the other sees it as gold and black. This difference happens because of how their eyes interpret colors.
- A teacher shows a picture with green and red balloons to the class, most students can tell them apart, but a few might see both balloons as similar shades.
