    As a person with red/green (deuteranomaly) issues that needed a 7 page packet from my eye Dr. so I could get my licence…

    I’d super love if they changed to blue myself.

    Waaaaay less people are blue colorblind.

      Not being able to see green. What does the green light look like? Can you still tell it’s lit up, just not the color, or do you have to go, well red and yellow is out, so green must be on?

        That’s the thing. I see green. Or rather I associate what I was taught green “was”. But it’s the in between shades everything blends together.

        So browning lettuce/herbs/grass looks the same to me. Also not good at easter egg hunts.
