When I was a child, my parents noticed that I can’t distinguish distinct colors. It is also a big dilemma when I got into university. I cannot distinguish the pins use in cadaver by my teachers. I always fail my practical examinations because of being color blind. I can’t even identify the best color for myself in terms of choosing my clothes. The course of action is to ask a favor from my lovely sister. It has been years that she helped me in choosing the best shades of clothes. For some reason, I don’t pull myself down for having such color impairment. Photo Credit: https://pixabay.com/en/people-eyes-look-see-observe-boy-163906/

My husband is also color blind so I always help him. I hope your sister is still willing to help when you need it. I am sure it is difficult.

That is interesting. You could get clothes where every top and bottom piece goes together with every other one. It is very frustrating to be color blind. My boys are too. I can tell most colors but I don't know what the darker colors are. Like dark browns, blues, purples etc. I have been doing adult coloring books lately and upset because I don't know what color the crayons are. So I am color blind for dark colors which is unusual for a woman.

@akalinus It is so frustrating at times. I am also into arts. But then, being a color blind made me feel so upset. It is a part of me of not being less for such an impairment.

Perhaps you have to depend on your family and friends to choose the color for you. After all, they are reliable

It's nice that your sister is willing to help. So long as she is willing to help, just ask her.

@dodo19 It is good that she's always there. Our family is so close and can't refuse any favors from each other.

@TiarasOceanView My teachers didn't noticed it. The best course of action for me is to make it good in the academic part. I am grateful with my sister. How are you?

@JudyEv It was tough when I was in high school. There are so many activities that needs to use colors in school homework. But I managed how to deal with it.

@Shavkat Whoever devises the lessons wouldn't be thinking about those who were colour blind. Did it influence your choice of career?
