Common Signs to Watch For
Many children with a color vision difference are not aware of it — they assume everyone sees the way they do.
Unusual Coloring Choices
Purple leaves, brown grass or green faces in drawings can be a clue, especially if repeated.
Trouble With Color-Coded Tasks
Difficulty with color-coded worksheets, games or crayon names.
When to Speak With an Eye-Care Professional
If you notice repeated color mix-ups, or a screening suggests a possible difference, book an eye exam. Professionals can test young children properly.
Helping a Color-Blind Child at School
Tell your child's teacher. Labeled crayons, patterns on charts and high-contrast boards make a big difference.
