On the serious side, there's many different types of color blindness, so someone affected may pass one test and not another. Here's the real scoop.

Answer 2

What would someone gain out of faking color blindness? You can't tell by just looking at someones eyes.

Answer 3

Sounds pretty classic red green color blind to me. There are tests where a person with normal color vision would see one letter and a person with red/green color deficiant vision would see another number.

Being color blind sucks...I doubt anyone would fake it.

Answer 4

My science teacher once told me that color blind people mistake blue's for green's and other close colors.

Answer 5

I doubt anyone would fake it. Most people don't relise they have it until they have been tested. Also depends what he (it's mostly males) is. Blue/blue, or reg/green which is the commonest.

Answer 6

If you are Paris Hilton and get mistaken for Tyra Banks, it would be pretty surely a fake.
