Lex Rogers (ID: 0000000ee4e7d724) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/12/2017 My best friend is colour blind. We hang out together online, and I end up sending her a lot of links. I like to be able to see what a photo will look like for her before I send it, especially if I'm trying to describe something to her that would require full colour sight to understand.
