User:Glflegolas/Colourblindness

As some of you might know, I have a significant amount of difficulty distinguishing between colours; in fact, it says so in my did you know template (feel free to check the code if you'd like), and even in my description on the admins page. But do you know what exactly it means, and why this occurs?

What colours exactly, Glf?
There are a number of colours that I cannot distinguish properly, but they include the following:
 * This green looks like this orange
 * This brown /black looks like this red
 * This pink looks like this gray
 * This pink looks like this gray
 * This "lovely purple" looks like this blue

There are other examples, but I think that you get the basic idea.
