Types of Color Vision Deficiency

Understanding Color Blindness

Color vision deficiencies come in different forms and severities. Learn about each type — what causes it, how common it is, and how the world looks through different eyes.

Normal Vision

Trichromacy

~91% of people

Normal trichromatic vision — three types of cone cells function correctly, providing full-spectrum color perception across red, green, and blue wavelengths.
