Quote:
Wearing red can give competitors in sporting contests the winning edge, British scientists have claimed.


Quote:
The researchers claim the effect could be down to a deep-seated evolutionary response that works subconsciously to put opponents on the back foot.

uhhh colorblind people can see "red". They just can't make the difference between certain colors, for example, green and red.

This is how a colourblind person sees it:

There is no difference, on the stadium for example, since people afftected by color blindness can see this colour, just like all the others, but sometimes can't distinguish within other colours. So, if you take a football player as example, it does not make him a difference if you are white (because he sees that color pretty well) or red (because he perceives that color much darker than white, thus can distinguish the player).

There is no "hardest colour to see". Human eye contains a so called color sensitive receptors which are responsible for "RGB" pigments (yes, the same RGB like the three pixels on your monitor/tv kinescopes). The value of R, G and B can be damaged and in that moment color blindness occurs (in a very short description). So we can't say that R is the "hardest to see" but we can say that R/G/B are the most important pigments, responsible for other colors production (including white) and their perception. R is the same important as G and B since these three colors provide all the spectrum of colors we see.


I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy next to me.
