This is a normal post Colour blind people can't determin different shades of colours
as far as I know. It's not specific to pink.

This is a normal post aaah
see! there we go.

I think this is quite similar to harmonics in a way, if you play 2 different frequencies, one in each ear, the brain produces an entirely new frequency that can be beyond the frequency range of the human ear.

Clever stuff really!

This is a normal post I have deuteranopia and strong protanomalia.
Nothing looks right to me.

ONE colour? Funny, I don't see brown there either. Or beige. People never pay enough attention to biege.

This is a normal post Are brown and beige not just lighter, less saturated oranges and reds?

This is a normal post Mind = blown.
Don't get me started on whether my magenta is the same colour as your magenta.

This is a normal post Question:
If the eye receives light of more than one wavelength, the colour generated in the brain is formed from the sum of the input responses on the retina. For example, if red light and green light enter the eye at the same time, the resulting colour produced in the brain is yellow, the colour halfway between red and green in the spectrum.

Surely that's the mean; wouldn't the sum be somewhere closer to the violet end of the spectrum (somewhere around blue)?

This is a normal post When
you merge two frequencies you don't end up with the sum of those frequencies, you end up with a modulated wave.

This is a normal post erm
Magenta most certainly is a colour. It may not have a specific wavelength but the brain interprets the two signals as a colour without any problem whatsoever.

Interesting read though, if flawed.
