No I don&#8217;t see in black and white and yes I know that your shirt is blue&#8230;probably. Looking at the readings today, considering the Many Eyes Make Light Work project that we just finished, and my own experience I have found that society and the people that live in it tend to define themselves with color. In the Robots Reading Vogue project we can see how color defines a generation of a certain cultural subset. We see how schools identify themselves by their school colors. &#8220;I bleed blue&#8221; or something to that affect has appeared on many a BYU bumper sticker.<\/p>\n<p>For me being color blind though, I tend to not associate things so heavily with color. I will focus more on shape or location. When someone is trying to direct me I&#8217;ve noticed that they would say something like, &#8220;Do you see the big red building over there? Turn left.&#8221; To which I&#8217;ll normally ask for a landmark like a business name or address. Even when describing a person on the other side of a room I&#8217;m more likely to say, &#8220;Oh Matt? He&#8217;s the guy in the glasses sitting in the corner,&#8221; instead of &#8220;Oh Matt? He&#8217;s the guy in the green shirt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I still find these kind of articles and projects immensely satisfying to observe. I fortunately can still see enough color to appreciate it. Still I find it interesting that in a world that defines itself by the colors it sees I just don&#8217;t care about that as much. Or at the very least I feel like my definition of color is different and therefore not as relevant to someone who sees color &#8220;normally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/img.memecdn.com\/when-i-say-im-color-blind_o_172363.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"492\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">You think it&#8217;s exaggerating&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have protanopia or red-green color blindness.
