When we were trying to understand more about colour vision today, some people asked some really good questions about how people who are ‘colour blind’ see colours. This is very difficult to describe exactly as it is difficult to know exactly what someone sees compared to somebody else. However, this image may give you some idea of the effect that being ‘red-green’ colour-blind has on how somebody sees the spectrum of colours we looked at today. Looking at this image, you can see why, for some people, blues would become such an important colour.

We worked together today to ask and answer questions about colour. Our updated message board can be accessed by clicking on the image below.

Has anyone been watching any of the new Blue Planet II series? I’ve only caught one so far but it was amazing. Fish seem to be a lot more intelligent than we thought.. Some of the things they do are fascinating.

Apart from hearing more from the inspiring David Attenborough, this show also gives an incredible insight into sea-life of all kinds and reveals how they have adapted to their environments. It also, sadly, shows the effect that humans have had on the oceans and why we need to take global warming and water pollution seriously.
