I understand perfectly. Style is still subjective. Some people would argue with you, and say purble tie on blue shirt looks fine, or even good.

And they are probably colorblind. lol

Or they are not sheep and dare to be different from the mainstream. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Or, they are not American or American-influenced. Other cultures do have vastly different clothing styles and fashion senses than the US, you know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I posted that link to another site and they got downright upset with me. It was great!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

"Style is completely subjective. Non-color blind people have that problem too. What one person sees as matching, others may not."

And some of us just don't -care-. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I have had 'floaters' since jr. high school. They go away for years at a time and then come back. The interesting thing is, I am quite sure they are the same objects because one of them is quite unique and always familiar.

I have heard about vitamin supplements that were supposed to take care of them... anyone familiar with that?

Yeah, style is subjective. Sometimes I am amazed when I talk to someone who has worked out a very complex set of rules on what clothes match and what clothes do not.

It all started when we somehow got into a discussion that girls judge guys by their clothes, even though they usually do not say it.

The guy I'm talking to tells me that my clothes don't match and I have poor style. So I ask him how can you tell, and boy did I get a detailed answer! Oh, the color of your socks should match your belt if it's this color, but if it's that color do this; this color shirt goes with this color pants but not this, but there's an exception to the rule with is this, blah, blah, blah, and he went on for half an hour!

It was so overwhelming and I can't remember what he said. He spent a lot of money on clothes and he constantly bought new clothes in order to be "in style". I still don't fully understand the concept of "being in style". Oh, well.

the biggest problem, is a lot of people have never been tested for it. I have read the "most" men are colorblind, and "most" women are not, but I am not sure of the validity of that statement.. Likewise, I have read that people who are colorblind see better in the dark. But who knows for sure, without doing a lot of research.

one in 12 males is red/green colorblind, and only one in 144 females. The gene for colorblindness is on the X chromosome, of which males have only one and females two. This results in the lower percentage for females since all X chromosomes have to carry the colorblindness gene.

I remember reading an article in the scientific section of the newspaper on the subject some time ago, and they found that being colorblind had some advantages too. I think it had something to do with being able to estimate distances more clearly, but it might have been better darkvision as couslee says, at least something that was a big advantage in hunting, when we still lived in caves etc. It was a good explanation for why so many people have genes for colorblindness.

Edit: I found a site with lots of information about colorblindness, it also simulates how people with colorblindness perceive certain colors/contrasts:

One of the Last paragraphs indeed states that colorblind people have better darkvision and would be better at detecting camouflaged objects. It seems you would actually have an advantage when applying for a job in the army as sniper/spotter.
