The way we perceive colours varies widely around the world and seems to be more to do with how others around us understand and perceive colours.

Watch BBC Horizon “Do you see what I see?” for really interesting further information. Particularly the bit about the Himba tribe who see colours in very different ways to us westerners. We are born with only limited colour vision and we “learn” to see more and more colours as we develop.

Cheers i’m gonna go find it.

I’m quite badly colourblind which is really annoying as i struggle with something to do with colours at least once a day, i can’t name a lot of colours as i’m unable to see where the colour changes from one to a different colour if it’s within the same colour harmony.

But the first time i seen colour was when i first tried Acid! Noone else in my friend circle is colourblind so i wasn’t told about it or anything, i saw colour literally for the first time ever, it was EPIC! What the colours really were, and for once i could look at a colour and confidently give it the name it has. That was the beginning of my understanding of how everybody says you ‘see the truth on acid’, see things for what they really are.
But the downside is that when the acid wears off so does my ability to tell colours apart 🙁
I wish scientists would look in to this, i’m not sure if it’s widely known or what.

Bit like a Cinderella syndrome

Ha, I’m colour-blind too. It’s a bastard aint it? It causes me to appear extremely unobservant. People can dye their hair or paint a wall and I don’t register it until told, then I may notice a subtle difference because I know to look for it. Now I have an excuse to take acid at least once a week so I know which bin to put out lol.

Haha i’ve had lots of arguments with people about the bins (theyve just recently changed them here now though for recycling purposes) but the so-called ‘black ones i argued were green not f*ckin black, in my eyes.
I watched that documentary though and that chick practically only sees in black and white, that’s some chronic colour blindedness!!

Yeah the old black dustbin was always a dark green to me and now the grey bin is green and my green bin is…. fuck knows what colour it is, do I even have a green bin?! Think I have a brown bin too. Oh I get confused just thinking about it lol

I hear you man its really frustrating when it gets so confusing lol, sometimes ya just dunno what a colour is at all, and it pure scrambles your head :crazy::lol_crash

What about you when on acid??

Only done cid the once and I didn’t really consider checking to see what colour the bins were, just kidding. Yeah everything did become incredibly vibrant. I remember as it was coming on and everything was getting brighter I started collecting items from around my flat, not sure why it was just compulsion. I had brown items in my right hand and non-brown/blue in my left hand lol. I vividly remember my sober mate pissing himself when I stumped myself with a bottle of brown sauce, with a blue label.

Not on acid do you get confused by the standby light on appliances? For me the green and red for on and off are difficult to differentiate.

The colour can confuse me but i mainly tell by the glow of it, if its really bright then its probably green, if its quite dim then its probably red!

Well I mainly tell by whether there’s music coming out of it or a picture on the screen lol. The other one that used to get me real bad was when I used to support this autistic lad to go indoor wall climbing and I’d have to direct him twister style i.e. left foot green hold etc. But I couldn’t tell what colour half the holds were so I’d just shout random instructions at him hoping he wouldn’t fall off lol. Oh so unprofessional to think back on it now, I should have just said really but it kept me entertained.

That’s me dude
