I think the Newted community splits here into two halfs: the Greenies
and the Blackies.
In order to avoid color blind I would like to mention that our
subjective color sense is influenced by many factors, as mentioned in
all those G/B mails. There are a lot of people with slightly different
color sensitivity, which might not be able to distinguish between dark
green and real black. The normal eye check for a drivers license is
focused on green-red and maybe yellow too. A lorry or bus driver has to
be able to distinguish a few more nuances than the average car driver
and a locomotive driver (?) is checked for blue as well.
Let's close this thread forever with: "See different!"
