About the diagram

The diagram above reproduces one of the Ishihara colour perception tests (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishihara_tests ) that aim to establish whether a subject suffers from a type of colour blindness.  These types of tests are sometimes called pseudo-isochromatic tests.

Each of the Ishihara tests depicts a disc of coloured dots that may appear to some as random in terms of both colour and size. But some of the dots form a numeral that is clearly visible to people with normal colour vision. The full series includes 38 diagrams but any difficulty distinguishing between colours is usually apparent after a few tests.
