Can you find the hidden message in this pic?

                            Hmm?

                    What was that?

         You're nodding.

   Is that a "yes"?

                    Congratulations!

   You did it!

Hang on,

I'm sorry but it means that you're , um, well,

you're colorblind!

Boom!

To most people this image just looks like a bunch of greenish-brown cute little dots. But the image is unique, actually. How come? 'Cause there's a hidden message nestled in the design and you can only read it if you are colorblind.

So, what's the message? Can you read it? C'mon!!! Spill.

Now, time to learn some big, fancy words:

protanopia |ˌprōtəˈnōpēə|

color-blindness resulting from insensitivity to red light, causing confusion of greens, reds, and yellows. It is hereditary and is the most common form of colorblindness.

daltonism |ˈdôltnˌizəm, -təˌniz-|

another term for protanopia, a form of colorblindness.

deuteranopia |ˌd(y)o͞otərəˈnōpēə|

colorblindness resulting from insensitivity to green light, causing confusion of greens, reds, and yellows. 

tritanopia |ˌtrītnˈōpēə|

a rare form of colorblindness resulting from insensitivity to blue light, causing confusion of greens and blues. 

Bet you're confused right now, huh? Well, count your blessings. At least you can distinguish between red, green and yellow.
