Colour blindness?

[Disappearing]

I'm probably being over-anxious here...

My DS seems unable to learn or recognise colours. He's only 2.4 yo, but he's so clever in other ways, e.g. can count to 20, forwards and backwards (!), he can do 30 piece jigsaws without help. So is it realistic of me to think he should be able to learn colours now? I've tried playing games with him, pointing out colours in books, colouring in etc. Our child minder has tried teaching him too, she has made this term's special topic colours, they've done collages and made posters, but he's unable to say what colour things are, and he's pretty much always gets it wrong if he makes a guess.

Does anyone out there have a colour blind DC? At what age did you realise?

It's called colour deficiency, and two of my sons have it. It was diagnosed when they were about five. They manage fine. Saying that, your little one is still tiny and lots of children aren't even speaking clearly at his age. Relax and give him time.

My dc is 5 and we have only recently noticed he is color blind-tbd we have been distracted with bad speech problems. Also, it is not all colours. He has trouble with brown, green and dark yellows. These are the favourites apparently. It is not affecting school atm because they are still dealing with bold colours and with my dc it is the darker shades he confuses. I have a 2yo who says everything is blue but that's because he likes it. He is showing no signs that we have seen in his bb. Hope this helps x

Tbf not tbd

I thought DS1 was possibly colour blind at about 2.5 as seemed slow learning colours (compared to other stuff) and ALWAYS mixed up red and green.

Now 5.5 and no sign of any colour blindness. I think he was OK on colours by maybe 3 or 3.5?
