I learned something today

I'm deuteranomalous. That means I am "poor at discriminating small differences in hues in the red, orange, yellow, green region of the spectrum." I'm likely to make errors in the naming of hues in this region because they appear somewhat shifted toward red.

So basically, mild red-green colorblindness. You'd think that might've come up before last Winter, when I was arguing with Claire about the colors in a painting and we realized that I was missing some of the subtleties. I mean... wouldn't you expect that to come up at some point during 4.5 years of art school or 2 years of grad school?
