[QUOTE="northernmonkey, post: 372183, member: 193925"] I am colour blind and it causes me no end of problems at work (I work in IT) , all the lads on my mums side of the family are affected by it ,some worse than others . The first thing people say to you upon finding out your colour blind is ............ you guessed it " WHAT COLOUR IS THIS ?" . I then have to explain that colour blindness does not work like that i know what some colours are as I only have problems with blues , purples , reds oranges and greens , the problem comes when a shade of light red may be mistaken of pink , same with dark blue and purple and so on . colour blindnes is more comman in boys with blue eyes . it is thought to be hiredatry i have 1 boy how is ok but if he has a girl and she then has a boy , he may well be colour blind you cannot be a member of any forces if you are colour blind and you cannot get away with jumping a red light and plea colour blindness :mad: sorry to be a little off topic but just thought i would let you in of a few of my findings since being told i was colour blind .U-zzz Karl [/QUOTE]
