I know that Rod monochromats can see espceially well in the dark, is this the case with cone monochromats?

Fiona, thanks for sharing this description of your friends vision. – There are definitely to many phenomenons we don’t really understand yet and this sounds like one of them. Only a visit to an eye specialist could help you and your friend to understand this phenomenon in more detail.

i’m not colour blind, but i have a friend who doesn’t seem to fit any of the descriptions above. he has exceptional night vision, but is not sensitive to daylight, has no problem with detail, and the only colour he can perceive is orange. he says it “glows.”

as an artist and all-round geek this fascinates me. have you heard of this phenomenon, or could there be a combination of different conditions that could explain it?

I was diagnosed with Blue Cone monochromatism several years ago. I can see colors just not in the same way as others. One main thing is it is hard to read blue writing on white paper, yet I can read yellow on white, but it doesn’t really slow me down. When I ran across this site with the simulator I thought it was a pretty cool site and have sent it to a few people.

Thanks,
