Are You Color Blind l.?

The condition known as color blind
ness is receiving good deal OF atten-
ton just now. The first person to
write upon the subject was an Eng
lishmas, Dalton, in 1894, who observed
1t in himself. 1t aroused very little
If any attention until the close of the
present century, and we are just now
beginning to appreciate its bearing on
color visions without going into de-
tails 1t is sufficient to say that this
fact is one of supreme Importance be-
cause of the tremendous value color
has upon our lives and we'll being.
Thousands of men and boys employ
ed in railroading, in the marine serv-
ice and in the arts and industries re-
quire not only a knowledge of colors.
but what Is vastly more essential for
the protection of life and property a
normally developed color faculty. The
kindergarten work acQuainting the
young and plastic mind of both sexes
with a knowledge of colors is greatly
to be encouraged. The laboratory
method of comparing and differentiat-
ing colors by means of vari-hued
woods is considered one of the best
for cultivating this sense, and every
one, especially girls, who finds him
self deficient in this respect, will do
well to follow the suggestion.
The fact that color blindness may
be acquired is important because 1t
calls attention to the state Of ones
health and especially to the condition
of the eyes, and sounds a warning to
young men on cigarette smoking. AL
cohol also affects this sense markedly.
as do certain drugs. The most fire.
quent defect in the eyes of those who
are congenitally color blind is their
inability to see red and green or to
distinguish between them. Confusion
occurs to a less degree in yellow and
blue, and there are some rare cases
unable to distinguish any color and
live in perpetual twilight vision-a
world made up of whites and grays
and blacks.
The Washington herald., 1916-02-04

The work of good many artists,
particularly the Impressionists. is now
believed to be the result of color
blindness. Indeed artists with unde-
veloped color sensitivity frequently in
vent color tones wholly unintelligible
to the normal sighted.
From an aesthetic point of view, men
and great many women are wonderfully
lacking in the art OF color blending or
in the choice of colors as to their fitness
or becomingness. Those OF yellow hair
and skin seem to prefer shades CT tan,
yellowish cream or drabs. aud colors
which more nearly resemble the hucs and
tints in their own person. blond, II
unframed in chromatics, usually chooses
garments pale and Insignificant in tone
instead of those which form a contrast,
while a brunette lacking an artistic sense
will bedeck herself in vivid hues of reds,
greens and yellows
Colors should compel attention only by
enhancing the attractiveness of their
wearer. Contrary to popular belief, white
is a warm color. This truth is borne
out by the fact that nature supplies such
animals as live in the Arctic regions with
white coverings; migrating birds and ami
mails also take on lighter hues, so that
If white is becoming 1t makes a safe
choice for house and evening wear whine
it is also exceedingly healthful and
economical.
