    Well I mean… A colorblind student at our university once pointed out that red green blindness causes you to see red laser pointers worse than green ones, and he had trouble seeing where it is being pointed at. Our prof got a green one the next day and has been using it ever since.

    There are also several color schemes that are disability friendly so that charts (diagrams and stuff) can be better read by colorblind people.

    So, the analogy doesn’t really work. Colorblind people get to dictate color schemes because that is how inclusion and a low barrier society works. Or am I missing the joke here?

      The joke is indeed that the color wheel would only contain one color, which serves no purpose.

      Are you aware of your autism, or is it an advanced trolling?

        1. That’s not how colorblindness works.

        2. The user you are replying to is saying that using color blind people as an example is a bad comparison.

          1. It’s a joke that plays with the word “blindness”. Are you also “colorblind”?

          2. Yes, hence the autism. They are taking a joke literally. My stepson is exactly the same, he cant understand analogies.
