I don't actually see the colors as gray. But to me they sometimes end up being the exact
same color and thus I cannot tell them apart. And it does not happen to ever green or
every red. For example, I can tell you that the grass is green and that other things are
red. Most of the trouble I run into is shades of things. Blue, pink, and purple look the
same most of the time. A mint green will usually appear white to me. Turquoise usually
shows up as gray. Really, I only see about 7 colors: red, orange, yellow, green,
bluepinkpurple, black, white, and gray. Well, that's eight colors but I don't know if
gray would count as its own color or just a shade of black and white. For me, there is
really only one color red. There is no crimson, there is no candy apple red, etc. Oh
sure, I can see the difference between those colors but there is no way for me to tell
them apart.
