That was very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

That was interesting! My boyfriend is red/green colorblind, so he probably sees the world the same way Layla does

You just inspired me to do a little more research and I found a few webpages that show actual pictures side by side... how we see it versus how colorblind people see it. It is so weird! I didn't realize exactly how the world looks through my boyfriend's eyes.

Thanks for that link! I thought dogs didn't see color at all, so now I'm glad to know they see some! Very interesting!

I was happy to find out they see color too!

Wow, interesting article. Also, helps me to understand what the color-blind males in my family see and don't see.

Thanks for the great post. It was very enlightening.

I did know dogs see some color. I love the color chart. It shows things very clearly.

Here is a site that shows some more pictures of how color blind people see things:

Blindness | Critique Wall.com

I showed this to my boyfriend yesterday and he said he could tell the differences. So I thought maybe it wasn't right. Then I asked what the differences were... "One is a darker red than the other"

I told him there is no red in the color blind side. He sees them both as the greenish color, but can't tell the difference between green and red... that's why. What really surprised me is peoples' skin color! But I guess most do have reddish tones, and he sees them as greenish. I told him he would just be blown away by the world if he could see it through my eyes lol!
