I posted this in General Section, because it doesn't have much to do with TPT.
I have wondered for a long time, thinking, what does colour-blindness mean?
It lead me to think, if someone in their whole lifetime only saw, lets say, Purple and Yellow, the world would be as dull as Black and White.
And is black and white, actually, black and white to many people? It could be.. Maroon and Dark Blue, but because of this perspective, we can't tell what others are seeing.
There could be, perhaps, another "7" colours you're seeing. Nothing of blue, red, white, green, bla, bla bla.
So, could there be a way, to tell what you're seeing, or is it.. impossible.
I wear glasses, and in every eye test I have I'm tested for colour blindness. In these tests you are shown something like this;
If you were colour blind, you wouldn't be able to see the number, because you see the colour of the number and the background as the same.
Same, I got glasses for a year.
I was wondering about colours, from the symptoms of colour blindness.
Are people seeing different "colours", or is it the same for everyone.
We were influenced at a very young age, that red was a powerful, strong colour.
Yet, if you told that to a person, uneducated about the surrounding world and the colours around them. Ask them one day, how would you describe the top traffic light?
