Why the Madshrimps color scheme is so mad!

I'm colorblind!

Protanomaly(1% of males): Having a mutated form of the long-wavelength pigment, whose peak sensitivity is at a shorter wavelength than in the normal retina, protanomalous individuals are less sensitive to red light than normal. This means that they are less able to discriminate colors, and they do not see mixed lights as having the same colors as normal observers. They also suffer from a darkening of the red end of the spectrum. This causes reds to reduce in intensity to the point where they can be mistaken for black. Protanomaly is a fairly rare form of color blindness, making up about 1% of the male population.

I used this test http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/S...idaurri_5.html

You can check out how I see the web with this cool tool: http://colorfilter.wickline.org/

the geocities link doesnt show the pictures (atm at least, they exceeded their bandwidth) and the filter link is so slow i doubt it's working.

i'll check it out again later (who knows, i might be colorblind as well)

edit: zie jij zulke schijtkleuren?

dutske toch

rofl, checking the geocities site, i though for a moment that i was colourblind when looking at n° 14, but you're not supposed to see anything

anyway, site says i'm normal

do you have trouble with that colourblindness in day to day stuff, jmke?
