Men are more likely to have color vision defects than women.
One out of every 12 males has some form of color deficiency, but only one out of every 255 females is affected.
A color vision defect doesn't mean you're color blind.
There are varying degrees of color blindness, and some people may not be color blind at all. They simply have a tougher time distinguishing various hues than someone with sharper color acuity.
Color vision can indicate certain medical conditions.
The Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Test is one of the most widely used tests in industries where color decisions are critical. The test has been used in clinical applications for the study of ocular disease and other medical conditions such as diabetes and Parkinson's disease. It's also used tot determine the affects of pharmaceuticals on color vision.
