Thank you for this post.

How would Google sound to the partially deaf. Would they hear all the frequencies? 2. How would Google feel to the tactile challenged? Could you feel the O's? 3. How would Google taste? 4. How would Google smell? (One blogger actually said $100 bills) Could Google answer these questions? :arrow: OK. his raises some interesting questions.

Which is in and of itself an interesting question! What are the parameters of the visible light - albiet color-blind - having on my development throughout my life;s span. I would really like to discover some of the answers to these questions before I pass away. GCW</i> Well, there are certainly perceptions that you missed, but that doesn't mean you've lost out. From a personal perspective, photography made me actually pay attention to the world...details and shapes. It sounds like color blindness may have actually made you pay attention to the world in the same way, actually seeing the details...rather than just skipping over them. Most people take the world for granted, we don't notice color or detail most of the time. A flower could be the most incredible shade of violet but 99%+ of the world would just pass it by without it ever registering. To give my perspective, I would describe violet as dusk on antique velvet drapes, it's a fading warmth that is soft, but can completely overpower your senses. Have you ever considered photography as a hobby? You might actually have a big advantage working in black and white, because you're already seeing the true relationship between form and shade. Art photography still tends to be heavily dominated by black and white, because the way it distinctly presents the world can often reveal emotion much more easily. A person who really experiences the world on that level might have some amazing perspective to provide.

Recent study shows that infact all people see colors subjectively and different. Its just by general agreement you learn something is called red and blue so when you see it you call it that. But your actual perception may varry for you and another person. The thing why color blindness is different is because the disorder causes a overlap of different shades of some color with the shades of some other color. But regarding color its most important property for matching is color harmony and intensity, none of wich are afflicted by deuteranopia. So dont wory and go ahead and become a impressionist painter , no worys , infact you might produce something even better thanks to your special feature :D. Ah ,I forgot to mention.

Its what i have. Its the case where the receptors for the channel of "green light" are not working well. There are other theories that its actually related to the brain interpretation rather then the eye receptors, but thats theories ... There are many other types of color blindness as well , Protanopia and Tritanopia are in rank of deutranopia and are considered mild disorders. This type of color blindness is called Deuteranopia.

I explain that I can't due to the fact while growing up, my brother had made it his mission in life to 'teach' me colors, he lied about each and every one...He still thinks it is funny that when I would spout off what I thought were the colors in a sunset or rainbow, people would look at me like I was a idiot or started laughing out loud... Luckily my sister helps me buy clothes and makes sure that everything match...tho there are times I will attempt to 'do it myself' and have worn clothes that make her turn colors... My life is not black and white as I learned long ago to compensate with the other senses, along with good common sense.
