From Synaesthesia to Disabled Stickers

It is interesting to read what other people tell about their color blindness or color vision. Sometimes there even pop up some funny questions related to color blindness. I would like to post a little excerpt over the last few days and hope you enjoy.
- Jac tries to explain at Ooh! Look at the pretty music! how life with Synaesthesia looks like. With Synaesthesia for example the hearing of a sound can produce some visualisation of colors.
- In Do you see what I see? g8s tells his story of color blindness, including a white ‘go’ traffic light and how life would be working as a color printer.
- Jes asks Does anyone know if cows are colorblind? Unfortunately the site appears in such a badly chosen color scheme that if cows would be colorblind, they couldn’t give her an answer.
- Chris observes the Benefits of Wine where the question arises, if drinking wine is a major cause of color blindness.
- Pete describes in his recent article Colourblind his confusion about color vision. What I like best is the nice colors he choosed to reflect the confusion.
- Why did they change the colour of the disabled stickers from Orange to Blue? This is another favourite question to Jarv at Ask Jarv.

My pleasure. I did like your story very much. You tell very typical things about being colorblind in everyday life. I’ll pick maybe some thoughts for some upcoming articles. – Thanks.
