being red-green deficient has really f*Kd with the way i perceive color. is it strange that i can still appreciate this shirt? how do i describe being color-blind to someone who has all of their cones and rods in stock? i can't really read the shirt, but i'm fond of it even if it might be making a stab at us color-blind (red-green) folks. i think it makes the joke that much more sweet. we get it, and most of you don't. :]

despite my "handicap" i've never had a problem with applying/mixing colors. is that strange?

i heart this shirt!

I love the thought of someone with dud cones wearing this. You rock!

My best friend is 100% colorblind, and I'm an art student...
I've had to deal with a lot of problems where I start talking about color and paint mixing before I go "... oh yeah, you don't see them."

I would want this shirt, because my dad is red-green colorblind, but I would feel like an ass, too.

Us red-greeners will never be understood, but at least we can have a ball trying to explain ourselves using regular people's terms for colors!

This shirt is certainly ironic on our shoulders, but I feel like Cyclope (http://www.threadless.com/product/777/Cyclope) is more poignantly relevant. People can associate with that poor thing and its deficiency, and it brings them pretty close to understanding how we the colorblind can feel in such situations.
