We are tracking almost 1 in 5 with this group of men. Well, I am assuming that all voters are male at this point . . .

When I buy socks I get all of them in the same color because I cant match them unless Ive got bright natural light which my bedroom doesnt have,

Isn't that just bright green? :) That's why we don't need anymore than 8 colors. Everything else is just a different shade. Such as, light, dark, bright, day-glo or hot. As in, a HOT pink mini-skirt. :cool:

Yellow wire/ Orange trace or visa versa, I cant see the trace.
I used to build video games some years back (80's) and i blew up a very expensive computer board because i reversed those two colors. From then on i had to memorize their position in the plug.

I had to steal this from a posy Vegas made over in the Hijack thread as it was just to fitting for this question :D.


1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color..
Pumpkin i s also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

Re: Are you colorblind?

I'm not but my stepson Scott from wife #2 is. Once when he was a teenager he was trying to be good and paint his room. All started off well, he went in the basement grabbed what was left of a gal of white paint. Ran out of paint went down again grabbed a can that said "white tint base" and finished painting. WELL we came home to find a room 1/2 white, the other half was Pale PINK :eek:. Try explaining that to your 17yo when he is standing there with a big smile very proud of himself showing you. That was a big ouch
