7-10% of caucasion men are red/green colourblind which is the most common form and which I have. Other forms of colour blindness range from 0.001% up to 5%. Stu, you are not alone.

I have a very odd form ... in general I actually see what everyone else does but can't recognise / name the colours. If you put 2 identical frames side by side, there's a very good chance I would tell you they were different colours ... if you're not colour blind it can be quite hard to get your head round.

Sadly it put pay to a career in bomb disposal :shock:

Colour dyslexia, not heard of that before, what a complex thing the human mind is.

One write up of the bike said that the Trek Sawyer was like that as well.
