    Have you ever wanted to see what colour-blind people see?

    First of all, this site has pictures that you can change to see what it looks like to someone with protanopia (red colour blindness) and deuteranopia (green colour blindness). I thought it was really interesting. This other site below is a program where you put in a URL and it will give you that site with the colours changed so you can see it as a colour-blind person. Fascinating, huh? I went searching for colour blind sites because I was curious about it (I saw a movie where a guy was colour-blind) and it's amazing what you can find on the internet.
    If you're actually colourblind it may not be so amazing though.

    I have always found color-blindness interesting myself. My psychology teacher in high school was color blind, and you could tell when his wife was out of town because he would frequently end up wearing a red tie with a green shirt, or pink socks. He was unusual though, because he had both types of color-blindness. The best he could describe what he saw was shades of grey with some blue mixed in. He could only see blue though if it was a very bright true blue. If there was much in the way of red or green tempering the blue, it too would look grey.
    The only words you said that I understood were "His", "Phone" and "Ya'll". The other 2 paragraphs worth was about as intelligible as a drunken Teletubby barkin' come on's at a Hooter's waitress.

      I knew a girl a long time ago who was color blind and she wasn't born with it. One day a few years before I met her, she was working under the sink in her kitchen and was trying to back out when she didn't manuver correctly and ended up hitting her head on the pipes underneath! Because of the bump on her head, she became color blind. (It's rare, but I guess it can actually happen).

        Wow. This is actually pretty fascinating to me. One of the characters Cath and I play with is colorblind and this is definitely interesting because it does show why, er, he does certain things he does.

          I get to thinking, how can we really know who's colorblind, unless it's a case of the girl idrinkarum knows?
          Maybe we're the ones who are colorblind, maybe we all see everything in different colors, and we're none the wiser.

          Also, I saw a UFO at a football game once. It just floated there, and told me to have a "Good Year".

            Do those pictures look mostly the same to anyone else? With the Protan, it has a little less yellowish cast to it.

            Crap, am I colour-blind?

              The red and green colorblind filtered pics looked a lot a like but the normal pics were very colorful.
              Figers are vicious I tell ya. They crawl up your leg and steal your belly button lint.

              I'm a case study.

                I had several classmates who were colorblind. Sucked for the one when we had to make CAT-5 cables. He was Blue-Green colorblind. I was an ass one time and lied to him what wire was what. He got me back by going in and resetting my router configurations.

                  Heh, I have a family friend/former coworker "JF" who is totally sees-only-in-black-and-white colorblind, but being as he worked with newsprint all day, it didn't really interfere. He would also come settle by my desk and do paperwork now and then while we chatted.

                  At least until one day when my boss came to sit with me and said "Mysty, you're going to need to stop leaving your pink and gold gel pens sitting out on the desk." (I use those for sorting information on my obituaries.)

                  "Why, RM?"

                  "Because JF has been filling out his timesheets with them."

                    I'm constantly bickering with my SO about whether or not he's color blind.

                    He has a green sweater that he swears up and down that is grey. Happens to be one of his favorites actually.

                    I would say I have a very strong "I'm right, you're wrong, so " case going for me, except the pesky fact that he is able to see the green in everything else.. just not that specific green for some reason.
