-----Original Message----- I am monochromatic [pretty rare unless you're from a remote island in the S. Pacific I can't remember the name of -- I'm not from there and I'm pretty sure none of my ancestors are either]. I can't see the numerals on my K3 keypad which my wife tells me are red on a dark gray button. I can discern all the rest of the legends. I've figured out where the keypad keys are however so I'm not going to file an ADA suit against Elecraft :-) I do have much better vision in very dim light than all the rest of you.
Please don't ask me, "What colors can you see?" I can see all of them. I just can't name them, and lots of them all look alike to me. I began to realize I wasn't discerning colors well when everyone had a lot of names for colors that looked the same to me. I realized I was monochromatic when color TV appeared and it looked just like B&W. I've run across some pretty difficult web sites. Windoze Default color scheme works OK for me. 73, Fred K6DGW _______________________________________________ I was just reviewing a recently-published report that included the observation that when we view a color, one specific area of our brain becomes active. But, once we assign a name to the color, a wholly different part of the brain springs into action when we see it and the original area remains inactive. In short, colors with names go over there. Those without names are over here... Ron AC7AC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
