Rainbows and Colour Blind People

How Do Colorblind People See The Rainbow?

rainnbow Imagine not being able to see the world in its true color. The breathtaking beauty of nature and its colors as seen by the eye is appreciated by all those who love to the luminous world. But there are many who cannot see the exciting coloring of nature. Such people are known as being color blind and their state is the result of the inability of the eye to see and differentiate between different colors.

Is it really possible that somebody can’t see a red rose, the sunset or a rainbow because of color blindness? I’m sure they see the rainbow spread out in the sky just the same as others– but what they don’t see are its seven colors.

People who are completely color blind would see the rainbow in shades of gray – and perhaps they would see everything as either black, white, or a shade gray.
