Being Colour blind is a medical condition. I am not from that profession, I haven't read even biology seriously in my class 8th, so I cannot comment on this. (Though I do advise public on medicine for every illness.)
By the way, I find myself, and many men like me suffering from a variety of colour blindness that is not a medical problem but a perception problem.
First time i recognised it when I just became adult (after marriage, not the statutory age of adulthood of 18) and accompanied wife to a shop selling matching accessories.
For me, colours were classified as red, blue, green, yellow, pink, purple, orange, white and black. I also knew some variants like OG green, sky-blue, and blue black ink. But at the shop, I was told I did not understand colours.
And recently, when I was with my daughter who is grown up now, i pointed at a beautiful car and said, see that black car, it is elegant.
And she said, it is not black, but green.
I objected to her judgement but she insisted, it is green, maximum it can be called as blackish green.
And I gave me a certificate : Mr. Anup is a Colour Illiterate.
I am not colour blind, but only colour illiterate, lacking in colour vocabulary.

Hahaha ๐ truly colour illiterate
ReplyDeleteA utilitarian would argue that the value lies in what the car facilitates, not the car or the colour. An artist would argue the contrary. And a mechanic would choose the listen to its heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteIt’s just different contexts and perspectives that add all the ‘colours’ in life.
