Dunno if this is a late-in-life thing or I was always like this, but I definitely need more blue to see blue than most (this test put me at 82%, I think that means I'm in the lowest quintile for seeing blue?) Bright blue still looks mighty blue, but when light is dim, I basically see black where most would still see blue.
Practical ramifications: * Some of my 'black' shirts are blue when it's sunny * Popular desktop themes (solarized dark) have text that is completely unreadable
I remember a pic of a shirt, which a former colleague of mine was showing on his monitor ten years ago, and the office splitted half in recognizing the colours, can't remember if they were gold vs black; but we went crazy because nobody could believe that the other half was seeing a colour different from the one they were seeing!

I'm at 87%. How would you classify Turquoise (`#40e0d0`) and Dark Turqoise (`#00CED1`)?
Same here at 82%, although I don’t think I’m seeing blues as black.
I think your monitor or room lighting might just be different from others'
