Maybe others' situations are different.<br /><br />As discussed in the article, it's a relatively moot point anyway. Since I've moved to a new city I have visited my bank exactly zero times to make a transaction that requires a teller.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851365487853742880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519698878741488269.post-42340207835098313942011-10-31T19:50:45.031-05:002011-10-31T19:50:45.031-05:00Also, I realised that the lights above the lanes a...Also, I realised that the lights above the lanes are mainly a problem if the Colour deficient motorist is alone in the car, or in the rare case that the front passenger cannot distinguish red and green any clearer.Myrtonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06414825749856157045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519698878741488269.post-53424521112202131892011-02-25T00:17:51.150-06:002011-02-25T00:17:51.150-06:00Lighting could be a factor, yes.

And pure green-blindness does exist, though (from what I understand) it is quite rare.<br /><br />Part of the problem is that color vision deficiency varies widely, so a color-focused solution for one subset of colorblind individuals may not be helpful for others. This makes the better solutions non-color focused (e.g., the OPEN / CLOSED example from this post).Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851365487853742880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519698878741488269.post-42688414560207434612011-02-24T22:06:11.610-06:002011-02-24T22:06:11.610-06:00Could it have to do with lighting conditons?

I have rad about green-blindnees and these people have only red and blue (not green) receptors so it is easy to see why they would see green as white.Myrtonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06414825749856157045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519698878741488269.post-6472101718513031412011-02-24T21:59:25.594-06:002011-02-24T21:59:25.594-06:00Myrtone - thanks for your comment.

The green used at a typical traffic signal is a different color (at least to me) as the green used in the bank drive-thrus I'm familiar with. <br /><br />In those cases (traffic signals) I can tell the difference. In this case, I cannot.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851365487853742880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519698878741488269.post-91687343442080960452011-02-23T05:28:40.188-06:002011-02-23T05:28:40.188-06:00But you said elsewhere that green looks white to y...But you said elsewhere that green looks white to you and red looks different from green.Myrtonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06414825749856157045noreply@blogger.com
