A friend of my father is colour-blind. My father found it fascinating how many different grey tones his friend could distinguish. Where my father only saw a grey sky, his friend saw a very interesting sky with lots of different patterns.

Originally posted by NordlysSome of the descriptions of the different types of color blindness make me think there may be people who would fail that first one. Not sure, but some of the descriptions go into detail about very limited color and brightness distinguishing.

In B&W photography, Red and Green appear as the same shade as Grey (a lens filter is used to make the two differ - e.g. if taking a photo of Red Tulips, or a Red Rose).
I've always wondered if those with R/G Colour blindness area actually looking at the world in B&W? As other colours are distinguishable as shades of grey - it may just be that their perception of "colour" is what others see as shades of grey (with colour as a brucey-bonus).
There's probably a scientific answer to disprove this, just a thought.

It is extremely rare to be totally color blind (monochromasy - complete absence of any color sensation). There are many different types and degrees of colorblindness - more correctly called color deficiencies.
