I'm colorblind.<p>I see the value in this system but I'm not sure how does it actually improve my day to day in the sense that, me not being able to see colors doesn't have that big of a negative impact on my current day to day. (I wanted to be a pilot so being colorblind does have a negative impact sometimes)<p>A few years back I purchased a pair of ChromaGen color glasses that allow me to see the color red. That was a WTF moment.<p>The world made sense right then and there: Warning signs, skin, tomatoes, coke can, etc, etc. Is amazing how different (and greenish) the world is to me.<p>To be honest I don't use them to much: every time I wear them for long, the word is full of colors and once I take them off I return to this green(ish) reality and my mood changes immediately. I feel down right away.<p>I think I read somewhere that there are around 16.000.000 colorblind people in the US alone. I think this is a market that would pay big money to be able to see properly (I payed 1200 euros for a pair of glasses to just help me see the color red).<p>I wish someone would find a solution to this.

Using the same symbol for red and blue (albeit rotated) seems a bit broken. eg a die with different colors on different faces.<p>The shapes which currently add up to a square instead need to add up to something with a rotational symmetry of 1.
I was hoping for a site where I could finally enter a hex code or something and find out what color it is. I find it very hard to differ dark blue and purple and dark yellows and bright greens.
