What do you make of this comment?
I posted a pair of brown loafers for sale on Facebook.
A guy messaged me about them. He said “I’m color blind. Can you tell me what color they are and what color pants would they go with?”
I just sent back “They’re brown.”
Doesn’t color blindness only affect a person’s ability to distinguish red and green? It was a flag to me.

No. It is a sliding scale. Color impairment can can go from just looking like you didn’t really match your outfit to being literally a black and white thing. My friend who has a strong albino gene can’t see colors at all, another friend sees most things in sepia tones. My dad just looked a little off when he dressed himself.
Hmmm…I thought so too. Don’t know about that.
Be suspicious when he requests pictures of your feet. Got any lying around?
My dad was color blind. He couldn’t match his clothes, so my mom usually laid his clothes out for him.
I think this explains who you are dealing with.
I kinda think so too Jay.
I found it odd that he’d ask what color pants they’d go with. I don’t know!! I’d have to see the combination to give an opinion.
They’ll go with any pants. Wear a belt that matches the shoes.

Brown is made from Yellow, Red, and Blue. Yellow and Blue make Green, So you’ve got Red and Green as 2 of the colors that you assume he can’t see. Most color blindness occurs in males with a few exceptions. Many learn to fake it over the years by learning the name of the actual color others see and relating it to the color that they see. Problem comes in when getting dressed where shades of a color make a difference. My dad was color blind so mom hung his clothes in groups that matched so he had the option of choosing exactly what he felt like wearing and didn’t come out looking too badly mismatched
There is more than one type of colorblindness and that can make a difference as well. I watched a really good documentary on the subject years ago. I looked through the youtube offering and didn’t see it. Some of those with it only see in black and white. Some only see a shade of red in place of blue or a different shade of red for green. On a different day, they might see shades of orange
I didn’t find this guy’s Q creepy; however, it wouldn’t shock me if he requests a pic of your feet in his next messge
The fact that he asked what color pants they’d go with was strange. How the hell would I know?
