Wow what a monochromatic community this is... I'm surprised that it looks like I'm the only one who's colour blind here haha.

I first found out about my one-and-only shortcoming in life when I was in first grade and coloured the world purple (as opposed to blue). I'm red-green colour bind. Not only does it make visual art difficult, but I have found it useful to bring along a third party when I'm shopping for clothes, and working in a pharmacy requires extra care.

I've already seen that Adobe app thanks to a friend with an uncanny interest in my impairment. I find a lot of people have a tough time comprehending what colour blindness is at all. 'So you can only see black and white?', 'So you can't see any red or green???', or who could forget that precious gem: 'What colour is this?, or this??, or this???, or this????, etc. (how I loathe this question)'. Basically my view of this condition is that the spectrum of light visible to me is not as detailed as it is for somebody with normal sight. Everything is still relative, however, being able to distinguish between colours of similar quality is much more difficult. I believe I'm a deuteronope, I'm not entirely sure.
