Colour Clash Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
Your neighbour's taste in clothes or house decoration can tell you
Select
A
the
a
lot about them - including whether they're colour-blind! Clashing of colours is not necessarily based on lack of taste. It is often due to
Select
A
the
a
fact that people have trouble telling one colour from another. It is believed that eight in every 100 men have some degree of colour-blindness.
Women suffer far less. Lack of
Select
A
the
a
proper colour sense can be
Select
A
the
a
real drawback, and even
Select
A
the
a
menace in some occupations. Careful colour vision tests are often given to people applying for certain jobs. Obviously
Select
A
the
a
red-green colour blindness can be catastrophic in some circumstances. Engine drivers and many other railway workers and airline employees must have
Select
A
the
a
sound colour sense.
Branches of
Select
A
the
a
Royal Navy,
Select
A
the
a
Royal Air Force and
Select
A
the
a
Army insist on stringent colour tests. In recent years, too, proper colour vision has become essential in
Select
A
the
a
electrical industries.
Select
A
the
a
worker must be able to distinguish
Select
A
the
a
coloured wires if dangerous and even lethal mistakes are not to be made.
Certain apprentices in
Select
A
the
a
textile and printing trades seem to get in without their colour vision being adequately tested. Their chances of promotion can be seriously affected. Oddly enough,
Select
A
the
a
few painters (Constable is quoted as one) have succeeded despite
Select
A
the
a
defective colour sense. This is rather like certain composers getting on with their work even though they may be deaf, for example, Beethoven.
