One of the few helpful things I experienced when in the Air Force [yes,
there was one in Canada way back...] was a thorough test for color
blindness. I had always assumed that color blindness was obvious eg green
instead of blue etc. Many people have very small errors and often in only
one area of the spectrum. Even though I was one of the lucky ones, with
almost no problems, I still dont have a clue what color mauve is though...
probably a gender thing.
