Orange/Green confusion
I thought that I was the person that did this, but tonight I asked my brother if he ever got the colors orange and green mixed up. He immediately said "All the time!" Its not that I'm colorblind, its just that I mix the name of these colors up most of the time. So now, I have to ask, does anybody else mix up the names of these colors and why. Is it some genetic disorder or something?

Re: Orang/Green confusion
No. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone confusing green and orange.

Re: Orang/Green confusion

Re: Orang/Green confusion
Sounds like you're color blind. Ever talked about this to a physician?

Re: Orang/Green confusion
That's ridiculous! They're colors. They can't be confused, they're just the energy level of EM radiation.
you'd have to be realy sneaky to confuse them; more razzle-dazzle than I've ever seen.Grrr. Arrrgh.

Re: Orang/Green confusion
Never got this, orange is a rather ugly colour while most shades of green are beautiful.
However I have something similar with numbers, I sometimes call 5 7 and 7 5 when reading a piece of text with these numbers in. I know what the number actualy is I just say the wrong name occasionly

Orange and Green are easily confused. This is why they should always be separated by White :nods:

I used to confuse Spain and France all the time when I was a little kid. But I've never confused Green and Orange.

Re: Orang/Green confusion
Not orange and green but as a kid I often messed up gray and brown.
Just because it's slightly on topic, I also mixed up "me" and "You" which became very distressing for the little baby Soniku when I explained very carefully to my grandmother that it was in fact I who wanted to eat that tasty lolly.Save vs GM powered thunderbolt!

I mix up words sometimes, but not really any particular words consistantly.

Re: Orang/Green confusion
I don't do it with colours, but I do it with other things... Onions and Mushrooms are nothing alike, they taste completely different, have different shapes and are spelled completely differently, but the number of times that I have called onions mushrooms and visa versa is astonishnig, especially as half the time, I don't know if I have got it right.

Re: Orang/Green confusion
Well, it looks like at least one other person does this. Anyways, yeah, its odd how it happens. I know they dont look anything alike, but for some reason something about them makes me mix the names up. I dont do it with anything else, just these two very unsimilar colors.
