Red or Green

Post by Michael & Kate Cooper » Mon Nov 14, 2005 9:08 am

Does that take into account the ratio of red cars to other cars, or is it
simply numbers?

Like when LTSA advertise that Male drivers are involved in a lot more
accidents than females. A stupid statistic, since males are a whole lot
more likely to be driving the car when both partners are travelling. For
some reason they seem to be trying to imply that males are either less safe
drivers or are more prone to accidents - both of which (in my opinion) are
false.

Good point but most likely the latter I would imagine.

"among the most common form is the inability to distinguish between
red and green"

Can you imagine how annoying it must be for people with this type of
colour blindness to read this threat and having no idea what we are
going on about? Every colour is good on a 5, apart from pink. My
father drives a BRG, mine is red, my best mate in Ireland has a black
one, and another friend drives a white one. I would get one any
colour (my favourite is yellow tho'), even white, and add a dark blue
stripe, mmmh

Hi Ian & Adele

Yes colours can be described by numbers - but as
Gazza pointed out earlier -
that's not the point.

What I see as that which I have been educated to
call green, may register to
another individual to be that which I have been
educated to call red. Yet
the other individual calls it green because though
he registers t
hat what I
would call red - that's what he has been taught to
call green.

Some proof in words: Colour-blindness -
afflicting more men than women -
among the most common form is the inability to
distinguish between red and
green.

I am sure that we do not see things exactly the
same - there are differences
between individuals. That's why some hate green
and love red and vice
versa. Because what their brain registers as
being a certain colour or hue
is perceived differently from what another
individual's brain registers -
both while viewing the same wavelength of light.

Cheers

I've seen some inane threads on various lists, but I think this one is the
winner.
Where do they get the energy to talk about such utter...

Good point Lyndon, inane indeed it makes me see red that
some people really do seem to like green :-)

Bring up something interesting and we will discuss it I'm
sure...

BORING
Didn't the man ask for a more interesting topic? Is BORING more
interesting than an argument between green and red. BTW Silver is
the best and fastest colour... :-)
