"Neon Fluorescent" colors amaze me. It's hard to believe there's that much ambient solar light at that wavelength. Precise color is an annoying enough problem to frustrate the hell out of people. Not matching so much; specification. It's icky, which is a bummer, because color is so cool. Portable Angstrom tricorders would be nice. Ooops - batterie's dead. That band of people is larger than expected. Or the moon is closer.

I don't get retinal images from bright lights unless I stare at a light, which I would prefer not to do. I have a lot of beautiful colors in my life. My silk blouses, my cobalt blue glass, my colored stones. I am looking at my closet as I type, I can see a purple silk dress, a plum silk dress, a lavender cotton dress, a vivid apricot silk blouse, a scarlet silk blouse, a brown&tan Indian print dress, and that's just what's in sight.

One time when I was a buyer the company I worked for wanted to test people for their ability to see color. I volunteered but it was a nightmare. They put me in this box with a bright overhead light and I had to look at a million shades of the same color and pick them out in order of dark to light. There are zillions of shades of every color. I scored one of the highest grades in the company but they wouldn't publish the results because some of the executives did poorly. It's not something I would do again.
