Approximately 6% of men are colorblind. That means there are 225 million colorblind guys roaming the planet.
There’s no way to know what someone else sees.
Misnomer: we are not colorblind—we see colors, but I guess it’s too late to change our designation.
I hope to provide practical, not scientific, aspects to being colorblind.
That being the case, when one colorblindguy starts to explain how he sees color, it can different than another colorblindguy. The best way I’ve learned to explain it is to point out that I don’t see red well. So when a compound color like purple is viewed, I don’t pick up on all the red in the purple object so I might call it blue. Similarly, when I see something pink, I don’t pick up on the red in the pink object and may call it white. Two examples. I thought flamingos were white. I knew the tacky lawn ornaments weren’t white, but I thought the actual bird was white. I also mentioned that I hadn’t seen white tennis balls since I was a kid. My friend pointed out the balls in question were pink.
