*hrk* You've got it bad! Though I know the boards are green, even though they look grey to me.Jonluw said:Hmmm... I'm trying to think back to yesterday, but I can't for the love of me remember whether our chalkboards are black or dark green.
I have this vague recollection that they might actually be green.
Like me! (nothing beats an overcast day... though having previously gone out with someone with EPP makes it a necessity) *grin nonetheless* I have a very monochromatic wardrobe (the only colour you'll get out me is my red buff and some weird brass coloured thing on my Sketchers, yes I wear Sketchers). But actually, I was more interested in your form of colour-blindness 'cos I've never encountered anyone who has achromatopsia/monochromacy.PatSilverFox said:I like very gray, dark, cloudy days. I like to dress in black. I don't enjoy colors as they frustrate me.
It's either you are or you aren't.Eldarion said:I'm color blind, got it pretty bad in fact. Gets annoying.
0 rhesus negative. I think its kind of rare.Jonluw said:So... O then?xXxJessicaxXx said:As an aside we also have a really rare bloodtype that anyone can use but we have to have the same one. Wierd.
Sorry bro D: Maybe you could get bionic eyeglasses like this guy once they develop them enough to specifically target colorblindness?PatSilverFox said:Well thanksconflictofinterests said:I see where you're coming from with that, but if I suddenly went colorblind, I'd be MISERABLE. Colors are like, my favorite part of seeing.PatSilverFox said:I like very gray, dark, cloudy days. I like to dress in black.

Good to know I'm missing out v_v
In my case yes, I have trouble with red, green and brown. So green text on a cardboard box for example, depending on how bright the colours are I can have trouble reading it.silverhawk100 said:Question for colorblind people: Do you have problems with contrast? Like, if a background and a font color are in two different colors that you have trouble with, do you have a hard time telling the words from the background, and thus being able to read it?
To me, Orchid is totally a shade of blue and Lavender and Plum are pink. Plum is a dark pink though.Frank_Sinatra_ said:Where the hell is the red-green color blindness?
Whatever, one thing I'd like to point out is colorblindness isn't quite like some people imagine, and it varies in severity.
For me when you put red and green together I have a hard time differentiating the red from green, but I can actually see the colors.
An odd thing that I didn't note though is you can (like me) be unable to see color blends so to me there are only 7 colors in the world. This is not debatable.

The only problem I have with this color scale is some of the colors in that "purple" look like they're blue, but hey what do I know?
I heard that there were contacts to help, but I have a feeling that it would be one of those things that if I experienced it, I would never be able to go back.conflictofinterests said:Sorry bro D: Maybe you could get bionic eyeglasses like this guy once they develop them enough to specifically target colorblindness?PatSilverFox said:Well thanksconflictofinterests said:I see where you're coming from with that, but if I suddenly went colorblind, I'd be MISERABLE.

For me plum is correctly placed there, although orchid is more blue than purple, a shade of indigo mixed with a little sky blueIrridium said:To me, Orchid is totally a shade of blue and Lavender and Plum are pink.

I can't tell any difference between Lavender, Bubblegum, and Carnation. Like, at all.
There are a number of different forms of color blindness. Look it up yourself.PatSilverFox said:It's either you are or you aren't.Eldarion said:I'm color blind, got it pretty bad in fact. Gets annoying.
You can't have it "pretty bad"
unless it's only one form of it, then explain.

I never understood what the rhesus types actually do. Does the negative matter for whether you can get transfusions or not?xXxJessicaxXx said:0 rhesus negative.

I'm not sure I think I have to have that exact type though, for myself.Jonluw said:I never understood what the rhesus types actually do.
