colour's never been my strong point, i'm a lines and shapes designer. I asked my tutor in college about this problem and she told me most logos and identities need to work in black and white so don't worry. a decade later and we're still here...

so I guess I am not colorblind if I see a 44 even if it's faint.
Damn it, being a colorblind designer is sort of cool.

"My color blindness has allowed me to think more broadly about the work we create. Will a tint of red make anyone notice but the audience of ourselves? Sometimes I think we lose that kind of perspective. Because in the end our work is for the public to understand and enjoy. Not the graphic designer peanut gallery.
Maybe it is only a case of struggling with a sense of self importance. Isn't that the never ending question: does design matter? Other fields don't have these questions. I have never heard someone ask "does medicine matter?", "does law matter?" And other creative fields matter in ways that design can't. Architecture, for example, provides essential shelter. If I had a 40% deficiency in, say, angles, then my building would be unsound and dangerous. I would have failed. But a poster campaign with a slightly "off" red isn't going to be deemed a problem in the public's eye, only in our own tortured minds.
Maybe our day of detail liberation is coming.
Do you see?"

My father is but i'm not (tested and re-tested).
A friend of mine has the color view really fucked up: he doesn't recognize colors quite at all. He learned that a field of grass is green and so on, but he doesn't recognize the color difference between the field, and, say, a banana.

I don't really understand color blindness. You don't see any color at all, just b&w? Or you see color but you can't recognize what it is you're looking at?
I can't imagine a world without color.

are you colour blind in your sleep too or do you dream in normal colour?

working mostly with illy and also black and white. also watching cmyk values is a big help.

Of course I care... we're talking about color here. But nothing is labeled, V4. So I don't know what I'm looking at.
And I still don't understand how people can't see color, or mix colors up. The brain works in mysterious ways, I guess.

brooke,
using the drop down in the lower right, you will see whatever values are currently being represented change slightly, that is supposed to represent the differences between normal vision and the listed types
it defaults to normal vision, select protanomaly and that slight change is supposed to be what i see in comparison
