Quote:A colorblind person with epilespy would have different seizure triggers. What triggers seizures varies with the person. But your question made me laugh.

I'm just curious because I know that red is heavily effected color in most colorblind individuals. I was curious as to whether or not other colors would also trigger because they are seen the same as red, or if red itself stops being a trigger, etc. As someone with neither colorblindness nor epilepsy, it's fascinating.


Side note: My dad is colorblind and through conversation I've come to this conclusion: it is really difficult to describe color. I, for example, cannot describe what red looks like. I can mention things that are red but for all I know your "red" is identical to my "blue". We can communicate about things in color because we are taught that these things are this color and can associate them with other things that are of similar color but we cannot actually describe the color itself.


Okay, derailment aside, best of luck with national epilepsy awareness month! I'll participate if I can find anything dark purple. Not a very prominent color in my wardrobe to be completely honest.
