Ralphie is color blind. Sees a lot of grey in the world. He has an especially hard time differentiating reds and greens when they are next to each other.

My dad was colorblind and generally dressed like Mork from Ork complete with rainbow suspenders.

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?

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.

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?"

You're a guy, you don't identify colors the way us gals do.

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