Hi CheriC,

Absolute colorblindness is rare. Most people (5% to 8% of the men and 0.5% of
the women) who are colorblind are actually "red-weak" or "green-weak". I'm
diagnosed as colorblind but it has never caused any problem (I think :-). I'm
able to name all the colors plus different hues. The only problem I probably
have is in "matching" colors.

There are some online tests on http://colorvisiontesting.com and
www.toledo-bend.com/colorblind. Especially the men might want to check :-)

Gr. Wim
