Are you color blind? When did you realize that you saw the world differently from others? How has this affected your life?
I am not color blind, but I have a brother who is. Obviously, color-blindness isn't really a significant detriment to living one's life, and I rarely even think of the fact my brother is color blind. Just the other day, I was telling my parents that they should appreciate my brother's help when he tries to fix the color balance on their HDTV, only to realize after I said it that his input isn't accurate on color issues. Viewing accurate colors is something I take totally for granted.
This morning, I came across an Adobe AIR app that allows you to see web pages through color blind eyes. It's called Chrometric, and you can get it
here (Please note: it requires
Adobe AIR). It's pretty interesting to browse the web as if you're color blind. Visiting Flickr was particularly interesting, as I browsed the photos and could sometimes see quite a difference!
