How many of you are color blind?
-
Well I don't have it (that I know of), but I'll say this. I'd rather be color blind than blind. So, don't get too despressed about it, it could've been worse. Jeremy Falcon

I am :( I can't distinguish between some shades of Red and some shades of Green. It is not extremely bad but I could not qualify to become an Air Force pilot and now I here as a programmer, as a CPian.
How do you know you are color blind? I mean, you don't see green (or red) as others do, but you still see some color, don't you? Regards, Nish

I have a red/green color vision deficiency - I usually get primary colors ok, but I can tell #FFFF00 from #00FF00 only when side by side, about #00A000 is definitely green though. Driving through city centers by night is a tad risky because the traffic lights don't stick out. A friend of mine is totally r/g blind. That, however, seems easier when you argue with "normal vision" people about it. If you can say "red, greeen, and all mixtures look grey", everybody is happy. But with a deficiency, you can argue for ages. I learnt a good defence, however. 15..20 minutes into the discussion, when the "normal vision" people are utterly confused or in full disbelieve mode, I ask: "Tell me how blue looks - without using color names, or pointing to something". This shuts them up :)

He can't be just color blind. If that bile is random, there is no god. as a matter of fact, I got fairly used to it. But who lets a fact stop a derogating remark?

:laugh: I was half worried I might have been - but after the test, and managing to figure out the digits correctly, I was relieved - not that it seems to make much difference to my sense of fashion :-) Regards, Nish

At school, people would ask me what color something was. If I got it right, they'd say 'see - you're not.'. If I got it wrong, they'd look at it again and say 'you're just pretending'. I gave up. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

That's odd, the most common type is red/green, the rare one is blue/yellow. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog
Why is that odd? I would think reg and brown can be close when brown is dark and green and brown when green is dark and brown is light. Green, when lime-looking, confuses me with yellow. I really have to stare at it to get it right. Then the obvious like purple/blue/fushia and other weird combinations. I stick to the Rainbow (minus violet) or RGB's. :) Hey baby, you lookin' good in RGB(255, 0, 0). ;)
