Colbalt or azure blue? not in the slightest bit purple. (I've got trousers that colour and when I was at Uni I even had boots and a coat that colour).

I agree that "celeste" generally is associated with blue, but what Bianchi market as "celeste" and what they painted onto my bike and accessories is definitely green, no blue about it.

Rapha? That should have some pink in it then.
Anyway, Ian is definitely 100% blue.

There are many Man Utd players and fans who are proud to sport eye colour like this...approximately.
You get to go to CycleChat rave-ups too!
Here's Frank9755 and theClaud at a recent one - in B+W - so that one can imagine the colour...
With Hitler on the cello.

[QUOTE 2251314, member: 259"]That's interesting, most colourblindness is male (although women carry the gene). I'm pretty badly affected but I share the affliction with people like Monet and Van Gogh, so it can't be all bad. I don't not see colours, I see different colours.
And a blue heads up - A History of Art in Three Colours is on at 8:00 on BBC4 - fascinating programme.[/quote]
Mine is caused by a head injury that left me in a coma for 13 hrs and damaged my eyesight (going from -2 to -6 as a result - I had had an eyesight test less than 10 days previously). I cannot now tell the difference between shades involving red & yellow and red & blue (so yellow to orange to red and blue to purple but can tell extremes apart, thankfully greens are fine - the more red involved the less change I have - that's 1 eye. the other lacks some blue but not enough to be an issue) and those number spot tests drive me mad... what number can you see - well I can see the top half of a number 5 and bottom half of a 0 , though often I can't make anything out at all!

[QUOTE 2251340, member: 259"]Wow, that must have been really traumatic - the loss of eyesight acuity probably more than the loss of colour vision.

well you know that big letter at the top of the chart - can't even guess as to what it is unless I have seen it first. the colour loss caused issues with my chemistry degrees - not being able to distinguish a deep purple from blue cause issues in the lab - usually with failed experiments or the wrong answers because pH is determined by colour and sometimes that controls what you do next. so ended up quitting my PhD in organic chemistry for that and other reasons, but as with all things you get by... but ianrauk's avatar is definitely still blue! evem my OH agrees!
