i have read somewhere that colour blindness can be cure, its not a serious problem, especially this is dangerous when we cannot read the colours in the night particularly on the pole of "signals" in the squares, but we can read the arrows,though. especially blue light in reading by the eyes at night is very difficult for even those who have no problem of colour blindness.
sunil ( may be your experience is different than this one) |

All I can say about this is that one´s bad taste in choosing color combinations can get me nervous.

It's kinda cool the way heightened ability in certain vision traits trade off against each other. I have color perception much higher than average, but poor peripheral vision. I think sensitivity to motion trades off for acuity, and night vision trades off for color saturation, etc. . . . or something like that. I forget the details but remember the concepts. Heh, theres another tradeoff.

Oh! Is this going to become a favorite color thread?
Mine is taffeta.

I'm not sure that it is complete nonsense. In an Environmental Psychology (the effect of the environment on psychology) course I took 20 years ago in college we talked about this. A little googling finds some serious references.

Another aside - I read that some nuerologists consider the eyes as more an extension of the brain than a separate organ because of their structure and level of integration to the brain. Given their proximity and the concentration of nueral activity - I find this reasonable. Is it possible the eyes started out as part of the brain and migrated outward as physical needs demanded (evolution of a skull and development of front to back and/or top to bottom asymetry).

I think it is yellow for the 4th cone. Insects are an excellent source for real inquiries. Check out dragonflies especially with their 360 degree ultra-violet included peepers which help them detect on flower petals "honey guides."

Did you know that colour blindness test books (the ones with a pattern of coloured dots making up a number) are printed on special non-fluorescent paper?

Theory: Colors, although an accident of light (in that they depend on reflection off of objects and the spectrum of the light source), are a language too. Only deviations within our species have the eyes to read them legibly. What most of us would call defects are possibly traits that with research may actually improve our genetic pool if identified and isolated by genetics. Who knows maybe tetrachromats, color-blind, or even astigmatics may have a trait which would increase our knowledge of our Universe if recognized and developed. I'm sure there are such studies taking place already.
