As you all well know, I am color blind. Here is what you do.
Go outside on a bright day, or get a bright lamp.
Close your eyes, your lids should be red from the bright light.
Stay like that for about 4 or 5 minutes.
When you've teased your rods and cones, you should notice a difference in color perception... or perhaps it's just me. Things become even more black and white when I do this.
Report back.

The post that was quoted here has been removedAll colors are just a bit different than you see them, it is NOT black and white.
It is mostly greens and reds... for the most part I know they are greens and reds, but I really wonder how others with true color vision see them.
Too often, I have a favorite green sweatshirt that my wife tells me is actually gray, or a favorite black set of sweatpants my wife tells me are dark green.

Can't you find another thread to ruin?

Originally posted by PhlabibitI saw a scientific article a few years ago where they showed that men who are color blind are better able to distinguish subtle shades of difference in the beige family. They suggested it was actually a positive evolutionary step as it means that in dessert landscapes you'll be able to distinguish between the animals and their surroundings, even with their evolved camouflage.

Now all you need is 100 years of global warming ( or a move to Africa) to take advantage of this evolutionary asset! 😵
