Seeing Differently:
A Celebration of Color Blind Artists
Featured Artist of the Week
Even now after all these years, when I have various different colours all over the place on my mixing tray, most of the time I can’t see the difference.

Even though they don't impact my art directly, my Enchroma glasses help me see the world in a brand new way, and changed my life completely.
I use EnChroma glasses when I play baseball. It helps me see the ball and the stitches on the ball better.
The glasses helped me notice that there were actually subtleties to color I was unaware of, and intensity of reds and greens.
Thank you for making Enchroma and making my life better by seeing the world in color.
Using the Enchroma glasses makes me able to see colours right, and discover they are more vibrant than I thought. I am learning colours again, which is daunting at times but very exciting!
Even if I get the colours 'wrong' I think it helps non colour blind people to see the world as I see it.
As such I have to rely on friends and family to help with the red / green areas on the colour wheel. It is a point of frustration as colour theory is a love of mine.
Given more surety in color choice. Makes me less anxious to accept commissions.
I have to be very careful mixing colours with an organised palette. Over mixed colours sully easily, and I cannot identify them. Yet when people see my work, they don't understand how I can do it!
His colorblindness, combined with themes rooted in nostalgia and restraint, naturally led to a palette where emotion, contrast, and structure take precedence over vivid chromaticism.
For me, color often feels like hearing a song on the radio rather than on a hi-fi system—I understand its composition, even if I can not fully experience its sensory richness.
I can now make color choices that make the statement I intend to make instead of a mash up of out-of-harmony colors.
I appreciate the opportunity to share and to see life deeper and further observe the beautiful colors in this world! I hope that others like me know they're not alone and that we share something un...
My colorblindness is pretty severe. I’ve always only done black and white because I can’t trust my own eyes not to make things look off.
Being red-green color blind has made life quite challenging.
They help me see the world my wife sees.
I see how the world sees. And how the world doesn’t see what I see.
I mainly paint in colors I can’t honestly see, in a world I wish I lived in. Painting is freeing, but the stress of not being able to comprehend the colors I’m putting down can be frustrating.
Your colorblindness can’t stop you, only your fear of failing can.
Not being able to see objects the same way as mainstream society is a benefit. Everyone sees life the same way, I don’t.
Colour blindness doesn’t define or limit me. It informs how I work, and it offers a perspective that is uniquely my own.
The power of art is to see the world a little differently so don't let color blindess hold you back!
Even now after all these years, when I have various different colours all over the place on my mixing tray, most of the time I can’t see the difference.
I have fallen in love with painting. I could have never have done this without EnChroma glasses.
Why This Matters
Color blindness affects 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women. For color blind artists, this changes everything, from how they mix paint to how they interpret the world around them.
Still, their work speaks volumes. It challenges assumptions, rewrites palettes, and reveals new ways of seeing. Each piece is a testament to the power of perspective, and to the idea that vision is more than what meets the eye.
At EnChroma, we believe in expanding access to color, for artists, for creators, for everyone. This gallery honors those who navigate color differently, and who show us just how rich that journey can be.
