    And red/green color blindness isn’t less colors, you get more shades of brown.

    Which sounds shitty, but invaluable for hunters.

    My dad legitimately didn’t know what other people saw for “red” but he could spot a deer in the middle of the woods like it was neon yellow.

    I believe the downside to tetracheomacy is less rods because the extra cones are taking up more space. Which I think translates to really bad night vision.

      Same with my dad. He said that the military liked red/green colour blindness for spotting camouflaged stuff.

          That’s fun!! I am not color blind and was able with a lot of work to sort of see some of them. The easiest is the second one just squint and unfocus if you wanna try. The first one I couldn’t get to work at all though

            I am colour blind and the first one was the easiest to see by far. My wife couldn’t make it out even when I showed her where the lines were.
