Re: Colour Blindness

Are we srill allowed to say coloured?

Shouldn't colour blindness now be called a disorder for those less able to distinguish chromatic hues?

I take it the link is in a terracotta red?

A colour I can't see, and am therefore unable to partake in further.

You have trouble with Red ? I see, in that case :

Have I ever told you that I think you are an over critical, bigoted, self opinionated, puffed up member of Accyweb ... LOL.

Love ya' really.

I would never be so cruel...by calling a 'he' Bunty.

He doesn't talk.

He taps out what he reads, which I can't see, in Morse code.

Ok Rindy, sorry about the gender goof.......still a clever dog....could make you Millions.
Maybe we'll see you on the next series of BGT....after all Simon Cowell seems to be a sucker for moist eyes and shiny coats(of the Bob Martins variety)...especially when can they perform a trick or two...who knows you may even win over that old cynic Piers Morgan.

Kate, I found this really interesting. it took me a long time to find a pic that the site would accept, but when it did I was quite surprised to see the effect of colour blindness.

Yes, me too, Margaret ... wonder how they worked it all out though what 'sufferers' do actually see?

Nobody on here has owned up to being colour blind, but the gentleman I know with colour blindness did say that, apart from the last type, they all looked the same as per the first named type sorry, can't look back to name it as will lose my post.

Ok .. got it... Protanopia.

Haven't had any trouble with any of my pictures though ?
