  1. Like this presenter, who probably suffers from red-green colour blindness, and 8% of all Eurasian males who carry this colour blindness gene on their X-sex chromosome (yes, they inherit colour blindness from their mother), I am also colour blind like this. However, this does not mean that I can't see red or green (the perceived shades of red and green are less intense than normal colour perception with people with this colour blindness), where for example seeing a red car or green car under low light (e.g. twilight), looks grey. There are however, worse forms of colour blindness affecting less then 1% of males worldwide, and there are about 4 main types of colour blindness (red-green, i.e deuteronopia and protanopia, the most common type discussed, blue-yellow which is worse, and very rarely monochromaticism; in which no primary colours can be perceived at all). The famous early nineteenth father of chemistry, John Dalton, was blue-yellow (tritanopia) colourblind but was able to get assistance enough with the colour changes of his chemical indicators to come up with a molecular theory of chemistry. Like Beethoven who composed music when he was deaf.
