Colour Blind

Colour Blindness' is a misnomer. True mono-chromatic vision is rare in humans and usually the result of trauma. What is true is that 'colour blindness' varies both in degree and in form and you are only aware of it in three circumstances. Naming, matching and discriminating. As I understand it, for me there is a low light colour shift- primary colours, no problem, seconday gets tricky, tints and hues - confuse.


Yes, I know it is pink.

The red of a rose
Is a succulent sight
Scientifically defined
By its wavelength of light

But
Is what you see
The same as for me?

My guess
Well, probably
Yes

But
If it were purple
I doubt it.
