i'm not but one of my good friend is and designs with no problem for major luxury brands.
his work is mostly b&w though.. might be the reason why.i found out when he asked me to hand him a green box and was pointing to a brown one, very weird moment.

i have a friend who bought a purple suit for his job.
he thought it was brown.

haha, maybe my brother's colorblind and doesn't rly know what purple is. That would explain his rocking new shoes.

One of my friends is colourblind but he's not a designer. Whenever he drops me off at my house, I have to tell him which one it is by finding something not red or green near my house. It's hard because my garage is pink, the car is red, the van is green, and I live in front of a forest.

Yes and No.
On earlier critiques I used to have problems, but I just stopped after awhile.
I'll never forget my boss' reaction when he found out I was colourblind.
He was looking at some book, and it apparently had these numbers inside of a circle, and I kept on saying the "wrong" ones, or seeing nothing.
He shut the book, threw it in a bag and said, "let's just keep this between us."
He's never brought it up since.

being colorblind would hamper a designer's abilitiessssss

The only reason one of the garage doors is pink is because my dad accidently run through the old one with his car (while failing to realize that he had not shifted gears yet). And my mom likes horrible colours like pink.

i aam colour blind in my right eye..i can see colour but certain tones or frequencies of colour shade blend together and turn into other colours.
i have difficulty seeing black and blue , i usually see them as reversed colours.
also some tones of red are hard for me to see.

haha, no.
flavor, it's okay, but once your mom paints the entire interior of the house pink let me know how you like it.
:P

Haha we had a pink dining room growing up.
At the time I didn't really like the colour. Especially since she made me rip off all the wallpaper and other crap, and then paint it.
Didn't like pink so much then, but probably would have hated any colour she chose.

I have a friend who is but doesnt seem to stop him. There are different 'types' of colourblindness as well as levels of it.
and it is not true that ppl who are colour blind see in black and white as I have heard before!!
