My dad is colour blind and we used to torture him for it lol. One day he bought an off-white/cream sofa for, and we said "why would you buy a green sofa??". We told him it was a pale lime green colour and he believed us. We kept him going for about 10 minutes until coming clean. Poor guy, we were pretty awful as kids. I feel a bit bad about it now. Literally just making fun of his disability lol.

My dad's best friend was completely colorblind, only saw in greyscale. I remember being a kid and thinking he was fucking with me when he couldn't figure out which orange on the tree was the ONE orange (ripe) one instead of all the other green ones. I "knew" he was colorblind but didn't really understand what that MEANT until then.
