Story of a Colorblind Woman

Hadley Rush shares in Shades of my past: Just what color is it? her discovery of and living with color blindness.

According to different studies there are only 0.4% of the female population colorblind. So this is pretty rare and therefore even more interesting to read some insights about it.

In her story Hadley talkes about matching earrings, red wine and most of all of her favourite color: Pink.

    I am a colorblind woman. I would like to know about more or talk with another woman who is.

    Hi,

    I’m the writer of this article. It was published in The Arbiter- a newspaper I used to work for.

    I’d also love to talk to any women who are colorblind. As a child I was never tested for it, because, as we know, it’s so rare.

    Does anyone else have problems decifering mainly with “warm” colors?

    -H

    I just added a forum to Colblindor to have the possibility of meeting other colorblind women. Maybe this is the way to share thoughts and get in contact with each other.
