Colour Clash Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
Your neighbour's taste in clothes or house decoration can tell you
Select
a
the
that
This
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
that
This
A
fact
Select
a
the
that
This
A
people have trouble telling one colour from another. It is believed
Select
a
the
that
This
A
eight in every 100 men have some degree of colour-blindness.
Women suffer far less. Lack of
Select
a
the
that
This
A
proper colour sense can be
Select
a
the
that
This
A
real drawback, and even
Select
a
the
that

menace in some occupations. Careful colour vision tests are often given to people applying for certain jobs. Obviously
Select

the
that
This

red-green colour blindness can be catastrophic in some circumstances. Engine drivers and many other railway workers and airline employees must have
Select

the
that

sound colour sense.
Branches of

Royal Navy,

Select

Army insist on stringent colour tests. In recent years, too, proper colour vision has become essential in

electrical industries.

coloured wires if dangerous and even lethal mistakes are not to be made.
Certain apprentices in
Select
a
the
that

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

few painters (Constable is quoted as one) have succeeded despite

defective colour sense.

is rather like certain composers getting on with their work even though they may be deaf, for example, Beethoven.
