My understanding is that about 15% of all men are partially colour blind and that around 5-10% are actually totally colourblind.

My son is colour blind and he always just said that he saw things ina different light.

I was always upset that he couldn't see the full range of colours such as in a fireworks display or as we know - beautiful minerals.

But those that are colourblind do not know any different. SO I presume they still collect what they like.

Perhaps it explains why Ferraris are nearly always red cos red appears fairly bright to a colourblind person !! who knows?

Cheers
