Parent was talking about the "protanopia (top right) and deuteranopia (bottom left)" cell division pictures, not the Van Gogh on top.

Oh, sorry! I should've read more carefully.

Those do appear to be literally identical to my eyes as well. I made a similar gif of those: https://p.mort.coffee/UIt.gif -- I can only see the noise shifting around a little bit. And GIMP agrees; the RGB histogram looks incredibly similar between the two images (https://p.mort.coffee/tn8.png vs https://p.mort.coffee/t3z.png).

Given one of them is labelled as being a simulation of blue/yellow colourblindness while the blue/yellow in the original image look very distinct, I suspect there's just been an error in producing the composite there.
