Do color blind people ever get the blues?

Great question.\n\nSome of them have the blues all the time.

my own understanding to this is - and i might be wrong - it has an affect. i based this on Albinos, they lack pegimintation (melinen) in their skin and eyes (which gives them pink or red eye colour) and they have major eye-sight problems and sun can affect them alot. so i would assume the less pigement u have (i.e. blue) the greater affect u will have by sun (even if it is very little) but surely there is a difference.

I'm not aware of any cures for color blindness, however, my brother has this problem. What he does if he doesn't have someone with him when he's shopping for clothes is he looks for racks that have coordinates on them. If he's in doubt, he asks a clerk if the outfit he's chosen looks good. He only has problems with green and blue. He chooses to take someone shopping with him, because most of his wardrobe consists of different shades of blue and green. \n\nYou may want to ask your opthamologist if there is anything that can help you with this. Good luck!

It's just a color.\n\n\nMaybe they are color blind

intersting question; i think a blind person will affect the way they see in their dream.  \n\nFor example, i always dream and i can control what i do.  But if i have a pair of blind eyes, as i said before i can control what i do, i am sure i will not be able to see in colour during a dream.

They defintely do not see black and white. \n\nAll mammals except primates (apes, monkeys and us humans) are color blind. Being color blind is not the same as seeing black and white, but not being able to see a channel of the color.

well, i am not sure if you can really invent this....but i think it would be a great idea...and i am sure it would take alot of research to figure out. my fiance is color blind, and therefore can not ever become a pilot in the army because of it. The estimation is that 1/2 the male population is color blind. I just cant imagine life without being able to see all the extravagant colors there are out there. so my invention would be some sort of color blind glasses.....that would interrupt or block certain colors so that the brain can see the other colors. like i said, it would take extensive research, but i think it wuold be a great opportunity for some people like my fiance who really wants to be a pilot but is not allowed because of his color blindness.

colours only mean you perceive things differently. if you were colour blind it may make things harder for you if you had to determine colours. otherwise, it probably has very little significance.

No, there's loads of different shades/colours of eyes. Mine seem to change from light blue to green to dark blue

There is no treatment for color blindness.  It occures when there is a lack of certain color receptors in the eye. The person could be 'trained' to differentiate between the colors,\nbut would never be able to see true green or red.\n\nFYI- color blindness is a trait carried by the female but only shows up in males.

Hi Maddy, I am taking a few moments this morning to reduce stress, pre-wedding jitters, not really nerves, just the usual worries of everything going correctly, as planned. lol \n\nSo, here I am anwering one of your great questions! ;-)  I too have often mused on how the blind or others who have lost a sense, manage to do things, normal everyday things those who have all five senses take for granted on a daily basis. I have mused on what it would be like to be blind. You see, one of my daughters had a knife put out her left eye when she was six. It was a horrific experiance for her and also her father and I. While she has not been completely blind sense birth, we have always been very worried, and sensitive of the worry she may lose sight in her one remaining eye. She was able to 'keep' her damaged eye, but she is basically 90% blind, only able to see shadows and blurred color in it. So, you can imagine this is something I have thought about a great deal. \n\nI read the answers you received when I first clicked here. Bonacua B is as close to an honest interpretation, or considered response than any other. Now, imagination does not require sight. They 'way' they imagine things will be different than those with sight, but they still will have dreams and imagination. Blind folks are as capable of those with sight of being able to be imaginative, innovative, creative and otherwise intuitive. They are in a unique position to provide an alternate view, which can be very impressive. When we are in a 'think tank' it is of best interest to implement as diverse a group as possible. When we keep the group diverse we are able to obtain a uniquely cohesive thought process which can produce great innovative and creative 'out of the box' thinking. This will enable the group to come up with a tremendously increased measure of ideas and concepts. When we place a group of non diverse members into a position of requiring innovative and creative ideas, they are limited to only simular processes as they all have the same abilities and therefor are limited. \n\nThe blind may not be able to see 'color' but color has more than a visual affect. Color is uniquely viewed by each individual with sight. Men and women see colors differently. There are scientific studies which demonstrate these differences between the sexes when it comes to seeing color. The blind are able to imagine colors by using verbal stimuli to create a visual concept. Colors also create emotions, blue is calming, red is stimulating, yellow is comforting, black can be either rage, or blankness, grey is dismal, etc. By utilizing all the elements of color the blind are able to concepulize these and form their own unique 'vision' of color. \n\nEmotions are very strong elements, and they are created from many differing sourses. When we are able to utilize all of our resourses we are then able to acheive our highest potentials. The blind are not any different in this as those who see. \n\nThose who are born blind do NOT increase other senses to 'compensate' for the lost sense. Studies have shown that the other senses which are seeminly increased, are available for the sighted to acheive those inhanced heighths. We ALL have the capasity to use our senses to a maximine capasite, the same as the blind, we just don't do it. When we are trained to use our senses to the highest levels we are able to acheive seeminly spiritual elements within our abilities to minipulate them. Most people just do not work on increasing their senses to the degree of their full capasity. The blind are trained to do so. So, it is not an ability to obtain any higher degree of use in remaining senses, above the ability of any seeing person, it is just they work at acheiving these 'high' degree of developed senses. \n\nI firmly believe the born blind are as able as any other to imagine and dream. The way this is manifested may be different, of course it

Theoretically, the answer is no; all people do not see the same shade and intensity of color.  Color vision occurs as a result of specialized photo-receptors in our eye.  The number of these receptors can differ from person to person, and as a result, some people may be more sensitive to certain colors than others.  A simple way to test this would be to take freshly isolated retinas from various individuals (ie: laboratory animals) such that the photoreceptors (rods and cones) are still intact and expose the retinas to lights of different wavelengths (ie: colors) and intensities while simultaneously recording the neuronal output generated in response to the lights.  I haven't done such an experiment myself, but it is very logical to assume that no two individuals would respond the same way to the lights, since perception of the light stimulus depends on the frequency and duration of the activation of the receptor neuron as well as the number of receptor neurons activated and their distribution in the retina.

we see color with rods not with cones. so missing rods will not affect your color vision.\nHumans have 3 different types of cone cells, red, blue and green. The difference between the 3 types is the pigment which absorbs the light. \nIf somebody is colorblind, it can be, because the cell is there, but not the pigment, or it can be that one cell type is entirely missing. \nAlso somebody can have all three visual pigments, but less of one type, so they are not as sensitive for that color than other people are. Look at this link how colorblind people see colors.

No, flies are blind to the wavelength we know as "blue."

Oh, um.....I'm color blind, sorry. I see threw all the flags of the world since I am color blind.

No. But that does NOT mean bulls are colorblind. Many mammals cannot tell the difference between red and green, but do see more than black and white.\n\nMammals in general have poorer color vision than birds and reptiles. This is believed to be because they were nocturnal scavengers early on in evolution and eventually lost 2 of the 4 types of cells in the eye that allow us to see color. These are known as cone cells.\n\nSome primates, such as humans, have regained a 3rd type of cone cell. Thus allowing them to tell the difference between red and green. Being that this is an evolutionary new cone, it is no surprise that this newer color distinction is more commonly lost than the older blue and yellow.
