    I ask because you seem to have a real good grasp of colors etc for someone who's blind. Hence my curiosity.

    Again please forgive me if my question is a wee bit sensitive.
    (& yes, I used smilies )


    That's no big deal. I'm totally blind. I had normal vision until I was twelve, so I've seen and know colors. The other side of that is that I am an "ARTISTE" and have to know about colors and important technical stuff like that. Um... pictures and things pop up in my imagination as we talk about them oras I think about things, so there's always pictures going on in my mind. Hmm, I can yous a smily, like that, but still cant see it in the post until I edit it... Oh well, it's kind of funny.

    I chose a while back to educate myself on the seasonal skin tone color types that I keep talking about. I happen to be a pail summer skin tone type, so I have to avoid oranges, purples, and yellows, as well as, most reds. Thos are mostly fall and spring skin tone types. I found out the hard way because in school on up into highschool, my mother kept slipping bright orange and yellow colored shirts in my pile because she likes the colors bright orange and yellow. She still doesn't quite understand that just because she likes those colors and looks alright in them, doesn't mean that everyone looks good or likes them.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
