“And IF people who are colorblind have brains that aren’t broken/inferior/whatever, then WHY are they colorblind?”
Because they have defective cones and their brain never receives the full signals.
“Then WHY would different people see the same color differently, IF we are all seeing the same frequenci es and does it even matter?”
Just because the same frequencies are entering the eye doesn’t mean the same signals are sent to the brain,
“The spectrum chart is also off since it omits shades.”
The spectrum chart has all frequencies.
“Because I am color sensitive/shade sensitive ( meaning that I can easily tell the differences in tone and quality ), does that mean that my brain works better than most, or just differently? Or is it that this is because I have been painting most of my life?”
I don’t know. Their is a wide range of talents and learning.
Isn't "defective" the same as BROKEN?
Okay, I just looked it up and though a recessive gene, YES, colorblindness is inherited.
Both of my parents painted, both were excellent re color/shade matching, so maybe I did inherit the same ability and it wasn't a "learned" ability. I don't know, but that sounds correct.
