What is Color Blindness? Color Blindness (Color Vision Deficiency) is a condition in which certain colors cannot be distinguished, most commonly due to an inherited condition. Red/Green color blindness is by far the most common (99%) form and causes problems in distinguishing reds and greens. Another color deficiency, Blue/Yellow, also exists but is rare (1%). At this time there is no universally available test for it. There is no treatment for Color Blindness, nor is it usually the cause of any significant disability. However, it can be very frustrating for individuals affected by it.
