Yup, lotsa dots. I was worried I was missing something I shouldn't have. :lol: So, what I see as blue might be green to someone else? And green might be purple? o.o And wait, you're colorblind?

usually not that far off, more like shades but think about it, you were told blue was blue, what if someone pointed to a "blue" square and said, "we call this color Waffle" and yes I am color blind, red-green to be exact. |

Yeah! That's what I was thinking of! If we're told something when we're little, how would we know any better? So, you see everything as red and green? Or can you see everything but red and green? |

Neither (Technical explanation) Everything you see is basically made up of Red, Green and Blue because you have three kinds of cones (light picky up cells in eyes) red blue and green. So depending on how much each group is stimulated by light reflecting off the object and back into your eye, you get different colors. The ratio of red cones to green cones is shifted (I'd be lying if I told you which way) and so the range of colors i can see is different. Basically it means I have less, so while you see two distinct shades, I see the same shade twice. (Simple Explanation) So its not that don't see red/green its I see less of it. An extreme example would be if I saw no red and looked at a pink flower, I'd see blue (red+blue=pink) But I'm not that bad. Of course I've noticed everyone loves to hear that, yes, if hadn't been taught that grass is green, I could easily mistake it for being red. And yes, I have colored my grass read when I was in the younger grades. |

Oh my. Pardon me if I sound rude, but that must be terrible. Being an artist, I just couldn't fathom not being able to get the exact color of something right. Never knowing what a true color looks like, I don't think I could stand it. It's sort've why I was a little freaked out by the whole " blue is green, green is purple" thing. It seems like the world would seem so surreal and scary. I guess it might be different for someone who was born seeing everything like that, but to me....jeez, it just sounds like a nightmare... But yours isn't that bad right? Thats good to hear. ![]() I guess a little color-blindness is better than regular-blindness. So wait, do you see blue better then? Does that make everything kinda bluish? |

Pure blue is unaffected but of coarse if there is some shade of blue that in corporates green then it would appear different because i wouldn't pick up on the trace amounts like you would there are some photos that supposed to be a side by side comparison of normal and R/G CVD but I dont know how accurate they are since, 1) they're probably made by normal color people so how they know if they did it right 2) I'm color blind the the "normal one" would appear to me as my "color blind normal" and the "color blind Maybe it is bluish, I just cant tell cause, well ya I've never seen anything else Blue is definitely a major contrast color though. Most people think black is, but since black isnt a color (what most people think is black, like the text in a word document, is actually a really dark brown or something but you cant make something black, cause black is the absence of color so "coloring it black" is an oxymoron |
