Wow, what a great thread! Just spent 20 minutes reading it all, will have to jump online, post this and read all the references ;)

Its' interesting to note that more men are colour blind, this is because it is a sex linked characteristic on the X chromosome (responsible for hairy ears too ) ;)

Also, it is possible that this genetic trait is geographically specific (i.e. maybe more dominant in the west), like some other traits.

I now have to re-assess my whole site because of this - I choose not to be ignorant to colour blindness :) It opens a whole can of worms in respect to design practices and choice of colours.

I hope this colour discussion goes on further (its great)...in fact it's a good article for me to write new content about! :)

/replaced it with it's :P
