(Jun 29 06, 10:50)No that's a different thing altogether like dogs.
My one teacher would tell us stories how her best friend's kid was like that, and whenever she would watch him - she'd dress him up in these ridiculously clashing outfits and he had no idea.
...
haha...

I'm totally a colorblind designer, and I think it's hilarious. As long as I'm working with someone who can help me out from time to time it's no problem.

Sweet. I'm not the only one...
It hasn't been a huge problem for me, but I've gone the route of UI Design and development to aviod the issue.
I always wondered if that is something you should divulge during an interview?

(Jun 29 06, 11:07)Not unless you want the interview to be fugged up and you don't get the job.
... Or perhaps you can sue them afterwards.

what flavor said, except most people would be (understandably) skeptical about a colourblind designer, haha.

That QBN mark is purple, right?

technically, according to my testing, I am a anomalous trichromat suffering protanomaly
this affects my ability to accurately color correct photographs of people (due to the amount of skin tone present in the image), though technique and repetition have helped me to work past it

I might need some of you color blind peoples opinion on an aspect of an app I am working on. I am debating whether relying on color as an indicator would not work for color blind people.

i just have to ask, would anyone have thought that of me if I had not divulged the info?
seed, this might help you work out your color choices

(Jun 29 06, 12:33)I haven't even thought of anyone here being colourblind. i probably never thought of colourblindness while on NT anyway...

I'll take that as a no Jaline. ;)

I am a colorblind. Was scared to death when I first started interviewing for design jobs... I wasn't sure I would be able to make it in the design world with such a touche' condition.
I always thought the traffic light colors were...
-Red
-Less Red (or maybe orange)
-White

heh, yup, that's a negative

I guess colourblind people have to use something similar to the process of elimination when driving? Like they know it turns red after yellow, but not that the colour itself is red, so they can stop driving because they see the yellow.

it's also in a different location on the "tree" additionally, according to some mandate in like 1986/7 i think, that regulated the colors of the lights to have the tones and spectrums seperated in an attempt minimalize such occurances

v4, thanks. So which one are you on the list?

That would be strange seeing in monochrome, b/w, etc.

If you click on the blue 240 and the yellow 120 I am using the colors on the lower left of each for a certain differentiation. It is interesting that in many vision types they both take on a similar warm tone.
I have also read that some types have trouble between blues and yellows.
