Other Colours I See

There are some colours I see differently Telling them apart is tough This is what I see That no one else does The colour true red I would recognize Shades that are different I'm not able to know I struggle all the time Show me the colours Light grey I see pale blue Black is navy blue Navy blue is black I can not tell the them apart The diference shads of red I see the colour orange In a pile of the same shades together There are no difference in the shades If I do not know the colours To a shopper I would appbroch I find them very helpful I do this all the time They tell me the right colours

I have always found this topic intriguing, Darlene. Seeing colours mixed up is perhaps not as 'bad' as being totally colour blind. Living in a world of shades of black and grey is beyond my imagination, so to say. ~ Regards // paul

Hello Paul. My colour blindness is not that bad. It is only certain colours that are my problems.Black, and grey are also problems to tell apart. I've been like that all my life. Regards

You have done a nice job of letting your readers understand colour blindness, well penned. Unfortunately my piece crispy skinned Cossages is not so clear. I just wanted the readers to play with their imagination. So far I've not succeeded. Thanks though, for giving it a read.

Good Morning Darlene. If this is true to life for you I'm very sorry. I know men have this problem. At least my dad does. However, when sight or colors are distorted in any way that brings sadness to me. I have had cataract surgery on both eyes thus I know the importance of sight and imagery. Well done entirely. Have wonderful morning and day.

I have been coloured blind all my life.But not to all colours.Can you see better now that you had the surgery on your eyes? That must have been very rough.
