You can't drive (steer? navigate?) submarines either.

You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim, da do da do...

but I guess, that would apply to non-colorblind, too right?

No sense to anybody? Phbbbbblllth.

Tom is also colorblind. After we looked at the test together (which was very eye-opening for me, in terms of what he can and can't see) I asked him to identify the colors of a few objects around the room that were similar in shade to the ones on the test. He could pick out the reds and the greens just fine, but not when they're next to each other (as in the test.) Also, when we were looking at the "how the colorblind see the world" section, it was particularly interesting to see what he thought was the difference between the pictures. (The purple part of the balloon, for instance, seemed greenish to him.)

As part of a color theory class in college (for a degree in Graphic Communication), I took a sophisticated color test to see how well I could discern very subtle shades of color. A perfect score is quite rare, and I got it. I feel so special.

Apparently, color is the only sensory input that the mind cannot accurately remember

Really? I wonder if there's a way to test for that. I seem to have a pretty good memory of color when matching things that aren't together.

Traing one's eyes to properly focus on them was, to me, just a matter of practice. Now that I know the "trick", it takes me only a few seconds to see the image.

"A sailboat IS a schooner, stupid head."

My uncle was colorblind. Us kids were never sure whether to believe it or not. It was so easy to fake, afterall. "Uncle Toby, what color is this (pointing to something red" "Green"..."Hrmm, is story checks out...but is he telling the truth?"

blind? sorta, but color blind...aparrently not.
(some would dispute this fact)

You're a guy, you don't identify colors the way us gals do.
I mean.... what color is coral, Capt'n?

Kinda like salmon, but more on the orangy side, you sexist.
