I didn't know you were red/green color deficient?! I am too. My mom is a carrier and dad is deficient as well. Neither my brother or sister is affected. It became obvious when I needed glasses in elementary school and had to do the Isahara dot tests and could never see the #. Definitely rare in women-such a strange condition!
Re: *star*
You are?! That's so cool! The only other woman I've met with the condition is my sister. SO wild!
Same as you, my mom is a carried (well, she must be) and my dad is deficient.
I remember the first time I took the Isahara test. I didn't know I was deficient at the time. My high school boyfriend and I stumbled upon the test in a book of some sort. He saw the number, I didn't. I kept saying "stop lying, there's nothing there" and we got in a big fight-- I seriously thought he was teasing me about there being a number 14 or whatever in the dots! I still don't even kind of see the numbers.
Just the other day I called Natalie's green marker "brown." Good thing they write the color name on there so I can correct myself!
Do you have trouble with grey vs. green and green vs. brown? Sometimes what looks like hot pink to me is clearly purple to others as well.
We were playing Trivial Pursuit with the fam this week and my dad and I were both going "which is green? which is brown?" etc. the whole time. THose two are super difficult for me.
We joke that one of the few things that I will always have to buy name brand is crayons/marker so that the colors are on the sides! The store brands, etc. don't always haven them and then I'm a mess!
Blue/purple and brown/green are the worst, since the difference between them is the addition of red. I did a presentation on the condition in college so learned a lot about it and it's pretty fascinating. Other colors definitely throw me off too but those stand out the most to me.
