To be honest I really do like the shade of green you have sprayed the Locost. What code is it?!

I hope a colourblind person doesnt see that. They wont have a clue what you are on about

The company I used to work for sold computer systems for manufacturing. The displays were all "press red for this, blue for that, green for the other." One shop floor guy never stopped complaining that all the buttons on the hand set looked the same to him.

Another colour blind guy I know said that he could tell what things were red and what were green although they looked very similar to him.

That's me !

So it's lime green, not pink after all

Can't see anything in the circles except a pile of dots and the traffic lights both look the same

In all honesty it doesn't trouble me apart from wearing some very wrong clothing
combinations. Traffic lights have a bright red, dark red and a green and a sequence that
tells as much as the colors do.
I miss out on autumn as the colours don't stand out and SWMBO once squeeled how wonderful a field
of poppies looked and I had to ask "which field"

True, dark green looks like brown, purple is just a shade of blue.

Never won a game of snooker...ever... mates can be very mean

I'd be more interesetd in a site that could show how I should see the world.

thats really interesting, i did some reading a this and it said that during the war of the teams who analysed colour aerial photographs. The teams who had colour blind people as members did significantly better at spotting camo'd stuff than those without.

apparently the warning signs on motorway gantries flash up and down when red and left and right when orange! (or the other way - I don't think i'm colour blind so makes no difference to me)
