Mine eyes hath deceived me once again

So how did you discover that it was grey?

Really I'm just fascinated by your handicap.

My sister told me before she wrapped it. Conversation basically went like this.

Me: Hey can you wrap this for me?
Her: K...hey wait, is this for Jean-Pierre?
Me: Yes...why?
Her: ..........
Me: What?
Her: Did you want to get it for him in green?
Me: Its not green, is it...
Her: Its a dark grey.
Me: /sadface

lol I remember there was someone color blind in my autocad class back in high school. He used to always get the colors wrong when the teacher said to make dimensions one color, drawing lines another etc. The teacher did not believe him LOL.

here's a green external enclosure, but it's only 2.5"

Thanks to both of you for your help. Good news is I can actually see both of these greens since they're light green lol...but what if what I see as green is yellow to everyone else?

The one that Vivi found is green. The one that I found has more yellow in it. Ask your sister to help you decide. But as noted, Vivi's is for a 2.5" drive.

Another option is to keep the one that you have and get it powder coated.

Here, use this green spray paint to give the external a green color:

Why would he care if it's green or gray, unless he's a fashion designer then I could see it.

Why do you care why he cares?

Indeed, being colorblind sucks. There are contact lenses that can help you to differentiate colors.

He said he's color blind, not illiterate.

 

[meltdown75]

I'm afraid you're pointblind

bwahahahah

I dont, was just wondering why he would.

Shhh!

Is there a term for someone who sees colors when there aren't any? I have a pair of slacks that are as steel grey as steel grey gets. Yet my wife always talks about my brown pants. There isn't a single bit of color ANYWHERE in those pants - just grey, grey, grey. If I were to squint, maybe there is a hint of a blue fiber running through it (you can see the blue fiber when they are inside-out. But nothing even close to resembling brown. No one I ever asks thinks there is any brown. The spectrometer at work in a room lit by broad-spectrum light emitters doesn't show up any of the reds when I measure my pant color. So, is there a term for seeing colors that don't exist? Something the opposite of color blindness?

Yes. It's called tetrachromancy.

That looks kind of green to me. More grey with a greenish hue.

Edit:
I think it's the lighting. It looks more grey in the blowup pictures.

I knew a guy that was colorblind, he had the weird skill of looking at a black and white picture and tell you what color things were. It was pretty helpful looking through autotrader.

while that sounds totally awesome, I doubt it really works that way...

How the hell do you explain colorized WWII footage? It can only be attributed to the awesomely amazing skills of the handicaped. With their super monochromatic vision.

 

[Bignate603]

I'm being completely serious. He didn't even have a clue how he knew, he would just say that one car looked red, one was blue, etc. We called up a few from autotrader and he was right about 90% of the time.
