I am not colorblind, but How is the color of the p910 for you? Do you see it silver-brown as i?

I'm color blind too, it was brought to my attention a few weeks ago. I was arguing that a shirt was grey, but in fact it was blue. I'm still in denial though, the damn shirt still look grey!

haha so you just learned your colorblind? i learned when i was in kindergarden when i colored someones hair in a picture green thinking it was brown, and i got yelled at and i cried becuase i didnt know what i did wrong haha. thats the story my family tells me anyway lol.

So do I and I'm not colourblind!
I wouldn't describe it as brown at all, mine's definately a sort of dark grey and speckly silver.
Posted by EastCoastStar
well thats good! haha it scared me because i never confused gray and brow before haha
your from the east coast of the USA?? what area?

I assume you mean me @eastcoaststar...
I'm from Massachusetts, I wonder how many things I've colored wrong. I went to school for art and not one person ever told me I was using the wrong color or anything. They probably thought I was trying to be abstract

hahah i took art classes too... and i got many complements on my choice of colors... haha and i didnt even mean to not color it right lol. i did my best.

Yeah, I found out I was slightly (22%) colourblind when I left australia and had to have a medical exam. I don't know how they manage to measure colourblind-ness in percentages, but meh. The average person is around 2-5% colourblind apparently, which just means occasional slips, like when some car is really dark blue and you think its black etc.
I only have trouble with red sometimes, and get similar clours confused quite regulariliy (like that blue/black incident). However, if someone tells me something is blue, I'll start to see it better.
Before I knew I was slightly colourblind, I was talking to a friend about it (he was 78% or sumthing) and he held up this book that had black and greay stripes to illustrate his example, he goes "If no-one told me this book was green, I'd see it as grey. Until they tell me that its actually green, I assume its grey!". I had to point out that it actually WAS grey
. Huge paradigm shift for him there. His favorite notebook was a completely different colour than he thought!
Oh and have you ever noticed how a certain shade of red jumps out of the page? And when you shake the paper/book or whatever it jumps around a bit? Yeah, thats me

Daltonism is another word for colour blind.
Posted by nickorooster
Really? I didn't know that!
Oh and my eyes are brown.
Nick
Posted by EastCoastStar
actually...@govi you are half right
daltonism is another term for red-green colorblindness (thats the main kind), but there are a couple other types too. but doctors and many others often refer this to daltonism 
someone once told me that you are only colorblind if your eyes are blue or hazel... i learned this is not true. it is just more common for blue and hazel eyed people to be colorblind
however, my eyes are dark dark dark dark brown
edit: for some reason the front of this is a mail to link, if it is still there, please ignore it, i dont know what happened

Yeah, I couldn't see 3 of those...
Nick
Edit: I only see a 2 here... If you see a 5, apparently you're normal, but if you see a 2, you suffer from red/green colourblindness. If you can't see anything, SEE AN OPTICIAN!
