Question

What would a tree look like to someone who is color blind, specifically someone who can't see red or green?

Answer 1

well I learned in science humans have cones in their eyes sensative to certain colours. Theres Red Green and Blue and you use two different cones different colours. i.e red and green you see yellow. It all has to do with light. anyways that means they only have the cones sensative to blue. Also it depends on how much they r not sensative to red or green they can never fully not see that colour. do they probably will see the colours a bit but maybe the tree will seem more blue?? who knows. lol

if this helps heres the colour combos:

red + green = yellow

red + blue = purple

blue + green = cyan (aqua)

red + blue + green= white

also if your wondering why you sometimes go outside on a sunny day and its so bright and when you get inside you can barely see it's very dark. its because your cones get tired. and since your seeing a lot of white all your cones are fuctionin to produce white. therefore when you get in your cones are tired so they work less and you see black. another cool thing is stare at a blue peice of paper for 20 seconds trying not to blink alot then look at a white wall quickly. you wll see yellow. because you have tired out your blue cones. this applies to any colours. its pretty cool. (if u dnt have white walls look at a white paper)

anyways have a great summer =)

Answer 2

how do you describe color when you can't see it?  or see it differently?  Think about a black and white tv, that may give you sort of an idea.

Normal, to them... It's a matter of not knowing the difference.

And most R/G defects are about not seeing the difference between the two colours, not not being able to see them at all.

With a marked R/G defect, imagine going to a strawberry bush, and picking strawberries: by shape, as they were perfectly camouflaged for colour amidst the leaves.
