Posted: Sep 03, 2009 03:26 Post subject: Re: Color blind (daltonism). Disadvantages and advantages!

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?
