I never noticed it till after shop-class when I was really good with the theoretical aspects of electric circuits, but on the practical pieces I always put in the wrong resistors ... because they were colour coded with shades of green/red/brown that kind of look the same for me. I even argued with my teacher that I did in fact put in the correct resistors, but he won because it actually wasn't working ...

The tiger no. But put that same hue of orange next to some greenery without any context and it might. The brain is really good at compensating for colourblindness. You could probably paint a tiger green and I'd tell you it's orange because I know tigers are supposed to be orange. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 days ago Man.... I don't even know if you're trolling or not. But to normal people the tiger stands out as being a MASSIVELY different color from greenery. Like really, really, different. permalink fedilink source parent
