Color Blindness
A brief digest about this topic
Most of us see our world in color. We enjoy looking at a lush green lawn or a red rose in full bloom. If you have a color vision defect, you may see these colors differently than most people.
There are three main kinds of color vision defects. Red-green color vision defects are the most common. This type occurs in men more than in women. The other major types are blue-yellow color vision defects and a complete absence of color vision.
Most of the time, color blindness is genetic. There is no treatment, but most people adjust and the condition doesn't limit their activities.

Color Blind Subway Map
printmag.com — “If you were Brooklyn based designers David Heasty and Stefanie Weigler and produced a new New York City subway map printed in a single color, what would it be? Florescent red. As Heasty notes, "The design strips away the familiar color-coding of the subway system routes while still maintaining a level of hierarchy and functionality. It embraces a dual (and seemingly contradictory) agenda. In this way, the map reflects the opposing effects visual communication can have on our society, either” View full resource at printmag.com

Is My Kid Color Blind? | Family Matters
ronitbaras.com — “Q: My daughter can't learn the colors. Is she color blind and what do I do if she is? There is a big difference between challenges in learning the colors and being color blind. Most people believe someone who is color blind can only see in black and white, but monochromatic vision is extremely rare and is mostly caused by some disease or trauma. 99% of the time, color blindness is the inability to distinguish shades of green-and-red or blue-and-yellow.” View full resource at ronitbaras.com
