Man's got to know his limitations



See those two middle color rectangles under "your search colors." One is blue green and one is pink purple. I can't tell those apart. I would guess pink purple for both. This is the heart of why I gave up oil painting. I have to make all my painting efforts digital where I can do color picking. But it's best that I avoid color all together. To avoid embarrassing moments where people comment on the greens in my skin tones.

Clck the title for 1970 comicon tape recordings. A lot of Shel. Scott Shaw. And KIRBY!

Thanks for posting this, E. I was going to make my Gun Nose skin tones green in honor of your historical postings. Now I know I shouldn't. ;-)

You're damaged goods, Ellis Goodson.

Wow, Ellis, I had no idea your CBness was that extreme. Fascinating subject!

Hey. I'm adding a link to the title. Comic con memories. People at the 1970 comicon! on reel to reel tape recordings. Shel Dorf of course. And Jack Kirby. Kinda cool to hear that Dorf voice " I have something here to show you"

Yes. I am very color blind Beata. I used to freak people out when I sold mens clothing. When it came time to pick out a tie to go with the shirt and pant ensemble I got a lot of awkward pauses. People looking for hidden cameras.

Damn! I'd be so sad if I couldn't tell those color apart!!!

Kali, I didn't think I was missing that much until you said you'd weep with the handicap. I'm used to it. Always thought of myself as a sketch artist anyway.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Ellis is right. Those two middle colors he's indicated ARE the same color. All the rest of you are crazy. Or maybe you guys have the opposite of color blindness.
