Are you colorblind?

If you're color blind, you can't fly jets.

Oh, and while I never got to a point where I could easily see the Magic Eye pictures I could see them eventually so I at least got over the feeling it was some societal practical joke being played on me.

It's because they can't tell if the traffic lights change, right?


For years I couldn't see the magic eye things. Then one day I heard you need to focus past them to see it. Once I figured it out I could see them pretty easy. But it was soooo frustrating. It's not much fun if you have to work that hard.

We were tested for colorblindness in Cosmetology. Needless to say, a colorblind person is not generally going to be good at haircoloring and color correction. My dad is colorblind and so has a very simple wardrobe- he pretty much only has light blue, black and white clothing.

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

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.)
