Color Blindness

I've always wondered if people see color the same way. Not in the exact sense of color blindness, where there are definite color receptors that are hindered, but instead that they have a full range of color reception, but what they "see" as red might be what someone else sees as green, but because they have grown up with a full range of color, they can see everything with contrast and thus have just been conditioned to see that green as "red." Or maybe that is crazy. 

Either way, the concept of color blindness in itself is a complex one. According to Color Matters, Color-blindness is the inability to distinguish the differences between certain colors caused by an absence of color-sensitive pigment in the cone cells of the retina. Most color vision problems are inherited and are present at birth. Approximately 1 out of 12 males and 1 out of 20 women are color blind.

I wanted to see what a picture might look like to someone who is color blind, so I used the charts on Color Matters website about color blindness and recreated an image in photoshop.
