I think it's supposed to mimic the default HTML purple/blue colors for visited/not visited links.
However if that's the case, it's backwards, so I take that comment back (in HTML, unread is blue, read is purple/magenta).
Ror a visual queue, those colors/icons could definitely be improved upon.
How about brown and green? ;)

Agreed, brown and green are the worse for me to tell apart. Blue and Purple are hard too. Something easier would be yellow and blue or any that are bright for one and dark for the other.

Guys, I was kidding around. I know that green and brown are indistinguishable to color blind people; that's what the winking smiley --> ;) was for. GO, you even quoted me without the smiley! Man, it's hard to crack wise in here sometimes! Me culpa for not using CCF-approved emoticons   My father is color blind and while not a huge issue for him, it was always fun for me as a kid to catch him when he made a mistake because of color blindness (hey, kids have to get their shots in at their parents when they can, right?). I always enjoyed "beating" him by being able to discern the numbers in tests such as these:    How did y'all do on them? |

I am glad to see the great response to this forum. I wasn't sure if I was the only color blind guy on here. If I take my computer in a really well lit room, I can sort of see a shade difference. I appreciate everyones comments. It's nice to know that you are not alone! THanks guys

Count me as another red/green color challenged person. When I first joined an online Yahtzee group I had trouble with the colors of every one's dice. A kind member made me a set of blue and yellow dice and I have used them ever since. As for the other member's dice I ignore them and rely successfully on scores to follow a game. As for coins I have the most trouble with "rainbow" toning. Most look ugly to me instead of beautiful. The stats: one in 100 males and one in 10,000 females have some form of color blindness. It is inherited by the X chromosome. If a male has a bad X he is color blind. If a female has one bad X but the other is good she is fine. In a female both XS have to be bad. Edited by matthewvincent

Oh my, color me in with the "Color Blind" crowd, especially after "failing" the aforementioned test!  ...or maybe it's time for a "new" monitor!  Edited by oih82w8

Definitely more color blind collectors than I previously thought

Color blind, too. I really haven't had a need to see numbers in dots in the last 50 years, so no big deal.

I really like this topic. Years ago when mom took me to the doctor she
lamented that I could not see colors normally. He replied:
"He can see colors that we cannot see."

The colour blindness gene actually goes back to the time of the dinosaurs, when mammals only came out at night when it was more safe. There was no need to see colour in the dark. At least us colour blind people have better night vision when we walk around in the dark in the house in the middle of the night... LOL

I did not know that, wayforwarded, but it makes absolute sense.
Mammals, when it was safe to go out in the daylight, probably did not do too well
at first. Those "abnormal" ones with a sense of color survived better and passed on
the ability.
But the recessive gene for color blindness remains to this day.

Some years ago I sent this in to ANACS. It came back MS-63.   I always thought that it was ugly and yet people have remarked that the colors are interesting. From the photos, can any one with normal vision tell me what are colors that he or she she sees? I have always felt sad that I am not able to see the colors. |

I see some nice goldish/yellowish toning on the obverse, particularly near the perimeter of the coin at the bottom.
