Pink is the Color of passion. My favorite shade of pink is Magenta for a simple reason. I used to watch Golden Girls and there was an episode in which Blanche was telling Dorothy about a particular emotion she feels in which she wouldn't say she's "Green with envy" but she's not quite "red with anger", she's just...magenta :) That describes me to a tee sometimes LOL.

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!

personally, i think alot of bright "happy" colors would do the trick, nothing dark and depressing like, black, dark red, grey, you know...and nothing boring like white or the famous off-white! lol good luck!

I would say talk to him in complete sentences and clear ones, as you show him something, let him know the color of it, like for say, " do you want a red apple" that way he/she will know the apple is red. also when he/she does something, thank him/her for that. and just show him to do good things, like help you out with stuff at home.

We don't know that your subjective experience of the color green is the same thing as my subjective experience, anymore than we can know if your experience of the taste salty is the same as mine.  What we can know is that, if we were to show pictures of the same object to a number of people, and asked them to identify its color, there would  be a great deal of agreement in the answers.  But it would not be 100%, because one person might consider a color between red and orange to be red, another would call it orange.  It's interesting to me, as someone who is red-green colorblind, to see people, usually ones with normal color vision, insist that there are rigid definitions of colors.  Like, they will insist that the colors of the rainbow are, precisely, red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-violet. (Roy-G-Biv, the physical science teachers call it.)\nIn fact, the potential frequencies of visible light, in other words the colors of the light, vary continuously from just above infrared to just below ultraviolet; there is no hard and fast definition of "yellow". And different cultures divide up that spectrum differently.\n\nGetting back to your question, I suppose scientists could do experiments with the chemical receptors that detect color in light.  People with normal color vision have three different kind of receptors, which are sensitive to three different colors of light.  (I only have two kinds of color receptors.)  It is the levels of excitation of each type of receptor that determines what color is being perceived.  That is why we can model any given color by mixing together just three colors, as in a TV set.  Scientist could probably determine if chemically these receptors were the same in various individuals; for all I know that research may have already been done.

Color blindness is a result of a defect in the cone receptors in the retinas of the eyes. Color blindness is a male dominant trait, but is carried by the female. One male in twenty suffers from some form of color blindness, but only one in several hundred females are color blind.\n\nColor blindness is the general term used by most people but maybe in this politically correct world we should refer to it as chromatically challenged. However in reality the symptoms range from an inability to see one color, or shades of one color, to a lack of ability to see any color at all. Because it is a result of a cone defect, colorblind people are also prone to night blindness, and may have extreme difficulty in seeing in low light, or their color perception may be greatly reduced in low light.\n\nWhat color blind people actually see is hard to explain or describe to one who isn't colorblind, and probably equally hard to determine by someone else. To get an idea of the degree of difficulty, try closing your eyes and describing the color green to someone who cannot see or who is totally color blind.\n\nDescribe it without using descriptors such as it is the color of grass, etc. With the exception of blue (which has become synonymous with cold) and red (which has become synonymous with hot) it is very difficult if not impossible to describe a color except in terms of things which are that color, or in terms of another color.\n\nRegardless of the level of color blindness involved, almost all those afflicted can see dark objects on a light background. They may see them as shades of gray but they can distinguish. As the level of intensity approaches equilibrium the ability to distinguish diminishes.\n\nBy equilibrium I mean that the intensity of the colors involved approach each other (the dark objects become lighter and the background becomes darker).\n\nThe most common color perception problems are with certain color combinations such as yellow on green, green on red, red on green, blue on red, red on blue, and red on black. This last is particularly annoying and dangerous, because it means that unless we are concentrating, those flashing little LED displays become almost invisible. I have almost no perception of LED displays unless I am up close, and the diode is very bright.\n\nBy contrast since color blind people don't see color the same way others do, we tend to come up with combinations that are offensive to others but may be neutral or even pleasing or to us.\n\nSome color blind people tend to gravitate to bright, vivid colors because they can be detected more easily. Muted colors or low intensity colors (text, lines or bands where there isn't enough color to register) cause difficulty or are indistinguishable.

see white is a natural color all colors come from it and black is darkness .blind people can just make images by touching them,there structures so they just color there world with black and white.

My favorite color is blue.\n\nNo, the only colors that I think of as being gender specific are feminine colors, like pink. A girl can like any color.

keep it simple enough, but add some cool twists... choose an unusual color scheme, for one thing... don't go with the ever-so-common black and red... keep the layout easy to navigate... since you know HTML code, just experiment and see what you come up with... that's what i do! just have fun with it... i like rust-red, for some reason... not many people use rusty colors, or off-tones on websites... it might add a nice touch with steel gray, also... or if that's not your color, just mess around and see how it turns out. keeping it simple is definitely a good idea, though...\n\nfor some more color schemes, try something unique... such as: Really dark green and a strange tone of yellow or orange; rust-red and navy blue or black; black and a strange shade of green... those all sound really weird, but it might give you some ideas.\n\np.s. everything's a lot better w/ daniel and i now... it's a lot like it used to be now! *whew*... hope everything's ok w/ u and morgan...\n\n\n\nyeah he's been staying off the addiction ever since i talked to him about it... do you think morgan and you will get back together? i'm glad things are working out for you guys! good to hear from you, too! did i ever send you that really long poem, or did i forget?

I once saw a movie (I think might have been Mask, with Cher in it, but I'm not sure) where a guy was trying to describe colors to a blind girl. He had her feel something hot for red, then cold for blue. He "showed" her grass for green and so on. There really are no words to describe the colors. You could also try using emotions like passion and anger for red, jealousy for green, depression or sadness for blue, grief for black, etc.

W3C is a good place to start for HTML questions. The link below is their page about ALT. It tells people who can't see the picture what it is. So, "Floor plan of my house" or "floor plan of Buckingham palace" would do it. Someone who is REALLY interested will turn on his graphics, or ask a sighted person to describe it to him, or otherwise cope.\n\nALT should describe the graphic, not be the text equivalent. There is a difference. To take an extreme example, someone born blind who surfs with a browser that reads aloud to him is never going to know what a rainbow looks like. \n\nALT="Rainbow over pasture" \n\nwill tell him the picture is one of those rainbow things sighted people have been telling about all his life. You aren't going to be able to describe it to him.
