I dunno, but isn't one of the founders or perhaps Creative Director of tomato colour blind? Like, 100%, can only see in grayscale, colour blind?
- must be, have you seen their site?Carl_Weathers
- i don't think colorblind people see greyscale/ I think its more like a color shift. - they can still tell green is green - but it looks different to them than it does to us.Machuse

I always wondering something.
At the bottom here, in the drop-down list:
http://www.wellstyled.com/tools/…When you see those colours, is that the same as how we see them, as each selection demonstrates how colours would look for people who are colour-blind? As in...while the web site tries to demonstrate what different types of colour-blindness mean, would those colours actually look different to you?

One of my art directors just tells me what to do, and that's all fine and dandy.

Too bad you weren't around in the 40's. Cuz they didn't even have color then.

A friend of mine is a colorblind fine-artist, does printmaking and oil paints. Formally his subject matter is usually very intriguing and well executed but the COLORS... by god.. this man knows how to choose them.
- Is it like a special code for himself? Red actually means this, and that colour actually means something else, etc.Jaline
- I do have a friend who is colour-blind (red, green). He can drive b/c of the order of the lights or something.Jaline
- I probably sound like an idiot.Jaline
- No, he cannot see red or green either, also some darker values of certain colors.d_rek
