Other impairments affect other color pairs. People with total color blindness are very rare. Birds, fish and many other mammals perceive the full spectrum. Some insects, especially bees, can see ultraviolet colors invisible to the human eye.
In fact, color camouflage, one of nature's favorite survival mechanisms, depends on the ability of the predator to distinguish colors. The predator is expected to be fooled by the color matching of the prey.
Until recently, it was thought that dogs didn't see any color at all. Recent studies now show, however, that dogs can differentiate between red and blue and can even pick out subtle differences in shades of blue and violet.
Color brings life to design. Understanding the different ways humans process and perceive color is essential to producing stunning, impactful designs. You can learn more about the different color spaces designers use, or why not check out our resources on Color Psychology. For designers, understanding the fundamentals of color is key.
You can discover even more guides and resources to help you get to grips with color theory and management within the Pantone color system — and beyond. Discover more Color Fundamentals articles here.

Get ready to paint your house blue, because a new pigment is on the market that contains no toxins and can help keep buildings cool.
The colour was discovered accidentally by OSU chemist Mas Subramanian and his team while they were experimenting with materials to use in making electronics applications. The chemists mixed a black colour manganese oxide with other chemicals and put them in a nearly degree Fahrenheit furnace; one of the sample results came out as a vivid blue.
The colour is going to be used in commercial products like coatings, plastic and paint — it may also be used in roofing materials. We see colours because light is reflected off our surroundings.
It is quite disturbing to look at a Vantablack surface, after all, as the lack of light reflection gives a sensation of emptiness that is hard for the brain to process. Whist Vantablack absorbs light, in some applications, such as mirrors, we want them to reflect all possible light. That heat can then be used to generate electricity. We are also developing visual effects for automotive use by embedding microparticles in coatings, creating a satin or low-gloss plastic trim.
These microparticles are made of glass and scatter the incoming light, bouncing around the layer they are embedded in and giving rise to a uniform satin effect. Traditionally, this would have been done with electroplating, a process where metals are deposited onto a surface from liquid metal salt baths.
This alternative technique avoids the cancerous materials used in electroplating to deliver similar performance but with few environmental problems. New colours can also be achieved by layering materials of different refractive index — a measure of the ability of a material to bend light.
