My husband and I went to an exhibition about the solar system at our local natural history museum. There was also an exhibition for children about the human body with really good explanations how genes work, how our ear works, stuff like that.

We came to the part about the eyes and there was an explanation of colorblindness and the different forms together with the tests. You know - the circles with dots where you have to read the number. Anyway, I forgot why but he started reading out the numbers. And well, he got one of them wrong. Not the test for full-on red-green blindness, but he can’t tell certain shades apart.

In hindsight I had noticed that he sometimes confuses names for colors apart from the basic ones or that he doesn’t like it when I identify an object by its color (e.g. “give me the pink one”). But I’d always chalked it up to German not being his mother language.

      Maybe recency bias, now that i think about it, because I was tested semi-recently. I don’t remember why lol I think it was my onboarding physical at my job, maybe?

        I have had to switch providers a couple of times so I suppose that could be related as well.
