I am always pleased to see annoucements and discussions on colour blindness.

Forgive me for sharing again my writeup on this syndrome from my own experience, if you don't yourself have any such deficiencies you might find it interesting!

Ha! I enjoyed this read. I am also colorblind. I do think one of the more interesting parts of being colorblind is the fact that I do not rely on color for ANYTHING. For example - Stoplight? What position is lit is my first thought. I think this train of thought has had some unintended benefits in terms of my ability to process things analytically

Thank you for the write up - this was good to read. Someone close to me was just diagnosed with color blindness and this was very helpful.

Thanks! (If you ever see them in a super pale pink shirt, check if they believe it's white and may've been ruined in the laundry. Been there, done that)
