As Seen by the Color Blind

paulo - 07/24/2008

Probably one of the biggest questions for me was "how do color blinds see world?" Evad, from COLOURlovers answered that for us in a awesome article!

It's incredible to see that these people manage to live seeing only part of the light spectrum... but probably they just don't miss seeing all the colors, since they are born this way, and have never seen some colors like they really are... or at least that's what I think so.

Hello, everyone! I'm Paulo, a 24 years old designer from Porto Alegre, Brazil. I work as a webdesigner since 2006, but websites and blogs have been a hobbie for me since 1999. At Abduzeedo, I try to bring only the hot stuff for you guys... and hope that all of you enjoy my posts! Cheers!

Its mad 'cos you say that colour blind people dont miss the lack of colour because they never had a full spectrum of colour. Well what about if the same applies to the rest of us. What we perceive is full colour spectrum is in fact missing colours our eyes cannot detect and are not aware of. Just a thought.
Like how do i know that what im seeing soembody else is seeing the same?

Wow i think i'm gonna lay off the Absinthe and sugar! haha

Great post Paulo, it is really interesting to see.

My boyfriend has a friend who is colorblind, and I've never actually really understood how he sees things.

Some designs really look totally different to them...

It's real sad if you don't see all colors like you should ... But well, they don't even know how it is to see all real colors.

Hey guys, calm down... I liked this post about how color blinds see the world. Actually I asked Paulo to write about it and help promoting that for our friends from ColourLovers.

The idea behind abduzeedo is share design related content. I will be sharing the tutorials while others will contribute with posts and inspiration. Everybody is welcome to post ;)

Thanks.
