I used to live with a guy who has trouble with certain colours. When cooking mincemeat he'd ask my help in determining if had gone from pink to brown yet (ie is it cooked?)

I'm amazed to learn that you had trouble getting a driving license: Over here the driving authorities know and understand colour blindness. The prospective driver is required to demnstrate that they can distinguish whih traffic light is on and which is off, but otherwise there isn't a problem.

And about style... I think the idea of style is dying out- or at least changing in western culture, as more and more subcultures emerge, each with its own "styles" and fashions.
