No wonder the site is down after 5 min. - BurnTees, on 03/18/2008, -7/+19site didn't work which sux cause i'm also colorblind and always really interested by this type of stuff. I'm still convinced that I see color the right way and everyone ELSE is wrong.
- smossner, on 03/18/2008, -2/+14Looks like a white background with black "500 Error" text. Did I pass?

- nesibus, on 03/18/2008, -1/+8I don't see color, I see equal opportunity.
- inactive, on 03/18/2008, -0/+7It's people. Soylent Green is made of people. Not color ;)
- stellarceltic, on 03/18/2008, -2/+9-Don't Care
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 03/18/2008, -0/+6Guys see in 16 colors... We're like EGA monitors.
- SublimeRuin, on 03/18/2008, -0/+6So can a little LCD....
- markp93, on 03/18/2008, -0/+6"hulkcredible"... awesome.
- SublimeRuin, on 03/18/2008, -0/+5Go to the interactive map and it makes perfect sense...
- BurnTees, on 03/18/2008, -0/+4this is the simplest way i explain MY colorblindness. you might hold up two pieces of colored paper and to me they are the exact same color and to you, they might be totally different colors. most of it for me is that i can't distinguish between shades of colors. so to me, a light green doesn't even look like it belongs in the "green" family...to me, it's an entirely different color. this also creates a very difficult time in trying to match clothes.

- displaced1, on 03/18/2008, -1/+5Where is post St. Patricks Day Green Hangover Watery ***** in Toilet Color at?
- vidorian, on 03/18/2008, -0/+4I once dated a guy who only saw in black and white. His friends thought it would be funny to help him match his clothes before our first date. He looked like a crayola box exploded on him.
- davebots, on 03/18/2008, -1/+5Light urple?
- davidlow, on 03/18/2008, -0/+4If a man (or woman) is colorblind then there will be at least two colors that look identical to him that will look very different (usually opposite, in fact) to someone else who does not have the same type of colorblindness, if any. It is not a simple substitution of seeing one color for another.
- warriorscot, on 03/18/2008, -0/+3What I have never understood about colour blindness is that its often just different colours people see not no colours, so how do colour blind people know they see the colour dfferently if you see blue as red and people told you that was blue that would be the name you associate it with it even if you never see it as the actual colour everyone else does. I have always found it confusing as every time I have met someone who is colourblind they seem to describe it differently.
- SublimeRuin, on 03/18/2008, -0/+3http://assets.doloreslabs.com/jobs/colors/explorer ... This is the link to the actual interactive map. Save it because there's no way in hell it'll work right now...

- 10001110101, on 03/18/2008, -3/+6Imagine if we stopped naming colors, and just referred to them by their hex values.
"What a shiny Eff-eff-zero-zero-zero-zero apple!" - darlingt, on 03/18/2008, -1/+3But few apples are pure red... I'd say an average Red Delicious is closer to #B90000.
- Ozymandias42, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2What an awesome use of mechanical turk! Artificial artificial intelligence can produce some really neat things sometimes.

- unoriginalsin, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2No. Colors are objective, they are what they are based on the wavelength of light reaching the eye. What you call a particular color is subjective, because you may perceive it slightly differently than other people. Some women may have the ability to distinguish colors you and I are incapable of seeing.

- bigd063, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2A little LSD can change one's color perception dramatically.

- qber, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1Some languages don't have separate words for blue and green. Native speakers of those languages are apparently less able to tell whether a color is blue or green if it's in between.

Type in green and you'll see that someone labeled purple as green - 4d669, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1The hell is this crap?
- mattmollysdad, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1actually an interesting subject... listen up...in the beginning circa 1970's Korea starting making and importing PVC (fake leather) jackets for me to ship to the USA. I would make app. 360,000 jackets for our Spring season and another 600,000 for the Fall. In the Spring the colors for the outside would be White, Tan, Navy, Plum, n Lt. Gray... for the Fall Season the Colors would be Black, Brown, Navy, Charcoal, and Wine.... we had the fabric manufacture dye up the colors and we picked what we wanted... in our contracts the first year we told them to make the linings... (100% nylon) color to match... so White PVC would get white nylon, Wine PVC would get wine nylon.... we had an agent who lived in Seoul and it was his responsibility to make sure the factories we used followed our instructions.... when our first shipments arrived into the US about 5 months later we found that Koreans didn't have the same understanding of the nuance in colors. Pure White, vs. Off White, vs. Wash White were all the same... Wine n Brown were the same... when I went back the following season I worked on this and discovered that they didn't have the words to describe the differences in colors... We used Marlboro package "red", vs. Candy Apple red, vs. Fireman red... etc... to make up for their lack of words... after 3 years all was fine as we expanded their vocabulary and sense of color difference... so as my experience relates to this article I found that different cultures have different responses to colors which can be found in their basic language.
