Re: Trough dichromatic eyes/seeing no or less colours
My problem is more the writing than the imagining (at least now... I'm not sure about the time when I wrote the original post; it was ages ago). I did look for pictures that attempt to illustrate how colour-blind people see, and I think I have a rough idea. However, how many readers would actually get that my viewpoint character is red-green colour blind from a description of perfectly healthy leaves as "yellow"?
WRT patterns, I've read that colour-blind people are better at finding camouflaged things, so I was kind of aware of that part.
Not that it really matters, since no one but me will read the story anyway, and I know my creatures are dichromatic :P
