Colorblind Artist: What I See

December 13th, 2007

I wanted to share some examples of what I see when I view my own art versus what a non-colorblind person might see. Since my eyes lack sufficient red cones, I do not see red or green very well. Being protanopic is something that I share with 10% of the male population and is considered a disability. However, I am still waiting on my handicap parking space. ;)

    Cool! I wonder what you or any other color blind person thought as a kid when the box of crayons had sections that were all the same color.

    Hi Jeremy,
    My box of crayons always had four colors that were the same; blue and purple, light green and yellow.
    Being red-green colorblind I can put the colors side by side and tell a slight difference. However, if you were to tell my that the truck I was driving in the late 90s was purple I would argue with you that it was royal blue. And I would be royally wrong. :D
