He may be color blind? Red/green would seem similar in color to a person who has red-green color blindness (the most common form).

Hate to disappoint you Spooky, but those with red/Green colourblindness, called Protanopea, can distinguish between red and green. Our son is one so affected.

Nope not color blind.
Here are his thoughts on it.
And mine too.

by Richard Dawkins

Stephen Potter, in one of his splendid “lifemanship” series of books, recommends odd socks as a woomanship ploy to arouse the maternal instincts (“Buy our patent Oddsox brand”). But there’s a much better reason to wear odd socks.

How many hours have been taken out of your life in quest of a matching sock? How many perfectly good socks have you wastefully thrown away simply because the matching sock is lost, or has a hole in it? Shoes and gloves, like proteins and many other molecules, have chirality: there’s a left one and a right one and you can’t rotate either to make the other. Hands are chiral, so are feet. But (with rare exceptions) socks are not. Socks fit feet more approximately than shoes, and any sock will fit the left or right foot equally well. So, unlike shoes, there’s no obvious reason why you have to buy socks in pairs. Theoretically you could buy a dozen identical socks and choose any two of them at random each day. If you lose one, no matter, you now have eleven from which to choose. But alas, as far as I know, socks are only ever sold in pairs. And that’s ridiculous.

My solution is to abandon the attempt to match socks altogether. Wear odd socks deliberately, the more different the better. Brazen it out. Wear one red and one blue sock, as I am today. Or one yellow and one green. I wouldn’t go so far as to wear odd shoes. I don’t think the fashion would catch on, and anyway it would be bad for the gait, might make you limp. But socks are another matter. Be bold. Make a fashion statement of odd socks. Fight the tyranny of the matching socks. Sock it to conformity. Be an individualist, not a slavish sock puppet. Matching socks suck.

When I worked in a tomato house years ago the boss noticed that there was a certain amount of totally green tomatoes being picked. Someone was picking green ones. He figured it out. One young man could not distinguish between red and green but was able to pick fruit by the shade of the colour not the colour itself. Obviously not fool proof but pretty good. I don't know what this condition is called but the young man got to do other work in the greenhouses this case.

Would you believe that people have noticed and made negative remarks about our prime minister's fancy socks? Glad there's nothing important to trouble their minds.

Best friend's husband cannot distinguish red from green. Both appear brown to him. When we played Uno, we started by showing him what the red looked like and what the green looked like. He could only distinguish them as different shades of brown.

I am against making comedy a subforum. Keep it simple, in one or two threads.
