I agree, personally, me being color blind sucks. They use colors to identify different things at work... :/

They do make a lense that you wear over one eye that allows you to tell the difference between colors. They were made for the telephone company employees that had all the different color wires. It will look goofy, but it would help if you need to tell color at work.

I just wish I could tell the difference between flashing yellow and flashing red stop lights ..... I have to stop for them all because I cant tell where the light is on the pole in the dark. lol

Red is better for night vision, which is when we're lookin at the gauges anyway... White is the hardest on the eyes at night. That being said, look how many companies are now using white.. it just makes no sense...

Hopefully they're not using them to specify mens vs womens restrooms..

I'll be interested to see what they come up with given how our gauges light up.
