Nope, perfect vision and hearing. I've known a few people who were color blind. One was actually our best shot on our school trap team. We always used to joke with him about seeing the clay birds (they are usually orange, sometimes green). It was all in good fun though and he went along with it. We even scared a couple new people saying he couldn't see them at all and he just fires into the air randomly. Good times.
Nope. Had a friend who claimed he was colorblind, but after a simple test I showed him that he wasn't.
i'm Colbert Colorblind [small]TM[/small], so i can't see black and white. sorry, lame joke.
but seriously, no, not colorblind.

Yep, and quite bad, too...
Anyway, I panicked big time when in elementary school we had to do sight tests (the dot tests) in small groups. Everyone breezed through their's, come my turn, all I saw were random collections of dots and thought 'uh... help!' I can perceive colour, but once you have more than two colours in the same vicinity, I can't tell which one's which. Red-green's the worst in my case.

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?

Oddly enough, I'm OK with that badge... but only because I thought the background was yellow...That Guy Who Phails said:So, the "Make yourself at home" badge completely perplexes you, huh?
EDIT: Hey, who's the guy/gal with monochromacy?! That's very rare...
Nope, my eyes can see the full spectrum of visible light. I think my brother is slightly colorblind if memory serves (forget which color he has trouble seeing).
I didn't see any blue on there (except 'Eggplant?!')... (and the green-blue section just looked greeeeeeeey...) uhhh... *sigh*Frank_Sinatra_ said: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.

Nope thank god. I'm already dyslexic that would be some kind of cruel joke. My cousin is colorblind (not sure which kind) and he's an electrician so it must not effect him too much.
I've also got a friend who is colorblind. Not sure what kind but he said it made mirrors edge really hard.

It's more likely that it's someone messing with the poll than someone who actually has monochromacy. You could ask "Does anyone here have Tay-Sachs?" and you'd get people voting "Yes."SckizoBoy said:
And in the diagram "Orchid" looks way more like a lilac to me. It's also missing chartreuse and any shades of brown.
I though Tay-Sachs rendered you a vegetable by... ah, fair point.Dags90 said:
Anyway, brown is a compound colour, the chart only displays varying intensities of the primary cone colours (green/blue/red).
I remember a pair of pants I insisted for years were brown but weren't. I'm green or red-green, never officially diagnosed, but I've been in enough spots where I say "thats green" and then 20 people say "no its not" to know that theres something wrong with my boob-goggles.
