Gold and Bronze trophies look the same colour to me.

I'm fine with red and green. For me its brown/green, or brown/red, or blue/purple, or purple/pink and of course gold/bronze. It all depends on the shades. If the shades are similar then I find it hard to tell them apart. So if the bronze trophy was a darker shade then I wouldn't have a problem telling it apart from the gold trophy.

 

Well, green + red = yellow, and some variants of yellow is gold, bronze and brown. ;) And if you got green red colorblindness you got problems of clearly differentiating between the colors when they are close by, like in the case of gold, bronze and brown! :)

I think green mixed with red makes brown, not yellow. Yellow is a primary colour. But we're getting off topic ? 

 

I sent a message to sony playstation about this and hopefully I'll get some sort of response.

No, green + red = yellow. -_-

Red, Green, Blue is the 3 colors is used to create most colors on PC. It's also the three colors you see along with just light in general.

 

No, we're not getting off-topic. That is the topic. The reason gold and bronze looks so alike is red - green colorblindness.

 

Yes, I can see White, Yellow, Cyan and Magenta in that picture too. Not the issue with being red - green colorblind. :) More the issue of clearly differentiating between red and green when too close together, like when they are mixed to create yellowish colors. I think this explains why it's difficult to tell if a trophy is gold or bronze unless next to each other. I got the exact same problem!

 

On PSNP you can hover your mouse over the trophy and it will tell you if it's bronze or gold. :) On PSN you can click on the trophy and it will tell you if it's gold or bronze. Just btw.

Looks like we're both right.

Nah. We see Red, (Yellowish-)Green and Blue.

Your brain says it's yellow when blue and green is mixed.

You can look up stuff about why red-green colorblindness to some degree is as common as it is. Plenty of good explanations out there.
