I’m colorblind and the weird thing is that it’s somewhat unpredictable when I will not see things. It’s not so simple as “can’t read red on green”. Shading and lighting matter enormously. An orange frisbee is harder to find in grass then a red one.

The strange thing is that I somehow convinced myself that I wasn’t colorblind during my childhood, in spite of obvious evidence, because I often could figure out colors. Then during an eye exam at 19 years old I failed 11/12 vision tests.
