My very good friend who is blind uses a system we invented for her
clothes.  We call it GrrMonsters (after the old children's line -
GrrAnimals).  We just use all ribbons in varying widths and textures
(pico edge, grosgrain, satin, double face satin). So, all pico-edge
1/4 ribbon GrrMonsters go together. The monster mostly indicates the
color scheme.   Mummy is those neutrals  beiges.  Kraken is the deep
sea colors like aquamarine.  Nyarlathotep is jungle green  coral.

Now to add some h-costume content:  I finally got pictures of my early
Stuart gown and the crazy wig when I wore it this weekend.

gown album.

Simplified, we have a blue cone, a green one and a red  one. The
gene for the blue cone is on our 7th chromosome so everybody gets
onewell two, one from each parent. But the red and green genes 
are  right next to
each other on the x chromosome. And actually the red one 
sees  into the green
area and the green one sees into the red.  We see hues by 
the  interaction of the

3 cones. All 3 are always involved.


--snip--

 Also, there are 2 ways to be color-blind. The green cone or the 
red  cone can

be improperly copied and because the y chromosome in the male has no  back up
pair, like women do on their other x chromosome, the man is
color-blind...red-green color-blind. The other way is for 2 red 
cones to appear  or 2 green.

Again with no back up pair, the man is again color-blind. This  2 of the same
kind is really rare I think. Women who are as unfortunate to  have 2 faulty
sets of Red/green cones on each x chromosome will be  color-blind.

I love science!
