colourblind question (already been answered. THX! :) )

[philippe]

I wonder if a colourblind guy sees a football match on the television and he can't see difference between green and red or yellow and green, can't he see the footballers then? and if Morocco plays a friendly against Brazil, do they see anything?
Just wondering

you can check out all the different combinations by going here, and getting your own picture of a soccer match

oh must be hard then if you watch television from a distance.

If one colour is darker than the other, we can still tell the difference. Just like if you watch two teams - one with a light blue jersey, and one with a dark blue jersey. You'd be able to tell them apart.

We might not be able to tell what the jersey's colours were, but we could tell the teams apart.

Even though it's interesting to hear what it is to be colorblind I would advise to have little bit more detailed thread title in the future.

Whenever I surf at a forum that doesn't have the info box (gained from hovering the mouse over the title), I feel let down. That's why I came into this one.

One thing I notice about being colourblind is that I tend not to even notice colours. For example, I can easily determine a range of colours that someone's shirt could be ... but if you ask me later what colour someone's shirt was, I tend to have no idea. I think that I ignore colour more than most people, since others seem capable of remembering what other people are wearing.

Do people really look grey skinned?

They might, but not quite. But I don't notice right away.

It takes me a bit of time to realise that I'm watching a black & white movie, especially in a modern reel. For example, I didn't figure out that parts of American History X were in black and white until about half way through the movie.
