Testors reaction to grumbling MRR's

So, lets go with the 10% of the male population is colour blind to some extent, and a RW individual is so afflicted.  He will either pick the wrong colour and not know it, or he'll get his spectrophotometer out, calibrate it, check with his buddy with perfect eyesight, all in order to come up with a perfect match.  And it will look wrong to him.

Hopefully I can tell Brunswick Green from this

Scottl FTW folks. Don't forget to tip your wait staff

Sounds like a Larry the Cable Guy joke... "more frustrated than a colorblind guy in a paint factory".....

Colorblind?  You wouldn't be the first railroad paint mixer:

"Stroudley's Improved Engine Green":
"The locomotives were finished in the livery known as "Stroudley's Improved Engine Green", which was actually an ochre colour, not green. This is historically attributed to colour-blindness, an affliction from which Stroudley reportedly suffered.[4] The actual shade of the livery has been much disputed, with opinions ranging from a more yellow type of livery to a livery closer to brown, as worn by the model named Como in the Brighton Toy and Model Museum.[5]"

Neat!  It looks like the N scale model I own.

Once again.. A prototype for everything, now including color blind railroaders.

All sadly painted black since Sir Toppem Hat merged the Blue Bell Railway and the whole thing was taken private in a leveraged buyout by Bob the Builder.

The Blueball Railway?

I think this test will be a great tool for testing the Modutrak guys.  Anyone who fails the test will be passed along to one of those clubs where everyone is color blind.  You know the ones... where fascia's are painted bright red, or yellow, and someone at some point thought it looked good. 

[peteski]

 Mike,
color blindness and lack of taste are unrelated afflictions. 

[Sokramiketes]

Sigh, you're probably right.
