Abstract: Letters to the editor Accessibility in science communication It isn’t often that something in a publication just blows me away. By way of background, I’m a 70-plus-year-old retired chemist and industry executive. I’ve had issues with an inability to see colors the way other people apparently do. I don’t refer to myself as color blind, because I see colors and can generally function normally. I am also a photographer and manage to produce images that others accept as having “normal” color. I can’t see the patterns on the obnoxious color tests that they use at the optometrist’s office. I’ve read extensively on color vision, and my struggles and frustrations, as well as my relative lack of functional issues, don’t seem to be unusual. In summary, my color vision is nowhere near as bad as the testing would suggest, but I clearly don’t see colors the way that others seem to.
