How do you know that? How do you know you are looking to equivalent distributions of lighter and darker magentas?

I have some uncommon kind of color blindness, I have problems with blue and green. I don't even know what colors I can't see, I'd love to know the procedures for that.

I was looking at the sample image provided on the linked article for hue differentiation where for each of the three rows, the strips of colour differ by 5%. The three rows differ by brightness only. The article used this image to illustrate that "lighter blues is more distinguishable than darker blues, while darker magentas are more distinguishable than lighter ones", but to me both lighter blues and lighter magentas were more distinguishable than the darker counterparts.

Oh, of course.

I didn't understand that. Thanks.
