As I was reviewing the guidelines for creating Figures I came upon the following, which should make you happy.<BR/><BR/>PREPARING THE FIGURES<BR/><BR/>Authors are encouraged to consider the needs of colorblind readers (a substantial minority of the male population) when choosing colors for figures. Many colorblind readers cannot interpret micrographs presented in green and red, for example. Thus, we encourage authors to submit micrographs in color combinations other than green and red.<BR/><BR/>here is the link<BR/>http://www.nature.com/neuro/authors/submit/index.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564064.post-21548169759932799842007-02-20T15:49:00.000-05:002007-02-20T15:49:00.000-05:00I have the same problem too: How do I explain what...I have the same problem too: How do I explain what I see to somebody who has normal vision. I always tell it's like seeing in the dawn, but your television is also a good story to tell.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566868285497902006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564064.post-68558648949913754562007-02-18T15:39:00.000-05:002007-02-18T15:39:00.000-05:00Very informative!

Many a time my dad would be about to leave for work with a mismatched navy/black suit, until we told him he needed to have our approval to leave the house. When he bought me my first car, he asked my what color I wanted - I told him, black, blue or (dark)green. He bought me a fluorescent lime green car. It was probably the only car every painted this color (the car salesman also prob took advantage of my dad's colorblindness). When he gave me the car I almost died... he innocently said it's green isn't it? I said it sure is and drove the car for three years. (albeit all the abuse I got for it).... This is just one of the many anecdotes of growing up with a dad who is colorblind... I think I might be able to write a book about it... Just a tip... don't pick out your kids car or bike (that is another story for ... I told you I could write a book!) :)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229892212442832458noreply@blogger.com
