Color Blindness
At the very back of your eye is the retina. It's about the size of a postage stamp, and it contains millions of cells that are sensitive to light. Some of these cells are called cones. Cones let you see color by combining the three main colors (red, blue, and green) to make thousands of colors, from the orange of your macaroni and cheese to the turquoise of a tropical fish.Even though many people think that being color-blind means a person can't see any color, this isn't true. Very few color-blind people see life the way it is on an old black-and-white TV show. Instead, most people who are color-blind just have a hard time telling the difference between certain colors.If you don't have the correct chemicals in the cones, they may not let you see the right number of main colors. Most people who are color-blind aren't able to see red or green.
