Are you colorblind?

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.

I have nothing to say to that except:
"Hey CP! How'd you find ONE of the two dozen straight men in California that knows more than 24 colors?"

When it comes to colors I am pretty much the stereotypical guy. If it isn't in a box of 8 Crayolas it isn't a color (certain modifying adjectives are allowed).

That isn't to say I can't see the differences, just that giving them specific names is rendered pointless by my way of thinking.

For example, the color scheme of this message board is:

Blue, lighter blue, still lighter blue and gray.

Okay, suddenly things become crystal clear. THIS is the reason that the following mid-MouseAdventure conversation (or something very similar) has happened more than once:

GD: Are you sure that counts? Is it blue or green?
CP: I don't know. It says "count the blue ones on top". It's kinda blue, but not really.
GD: F*ck
CP: *!$#

Lol!!!

(Out of mojo for the day, so I'm forced to acknowledge this post in an Alex approved manner. I had to throw in the 'lol' and smilie just to make him cranky).

That's why when we test we specifically make sure the other people agree with the color I've said something is.

Forcing others to agree that green is blue does not make green actually blue.

Alex · 08-07-2006, 04:36 PM

Of course not, but putting some green in the blue doesn't make it not blue either. Put enough in and then it becomes green. I'm fine with the dividing line being fuzzy and making snap judgements on a case-by-case basis.

Beginning of MouseAdventure betatesting:

Me: How many lights are there?
Testers: There are four lights.
Me: Wrong <smack>

Conclusion of MouseAdventure betatesting:

Me: How many lights are there?
Testers: There are five lights.
Me: Good.

(This quoting stuff is lame even when I do it.)
