funny, I've got the same, Red-Green, Blue-Green, Blue-Purple levels of
color blindness. I'm pretty bad but not horrible (I've met people that
see in shades of one of the RGB's). But I do have excellent night
vision as well. Makes sense, just funny to hear that its a dominantly
genetic amongst Czechs (I'm of Russian descent).

On a side note, I've recently decided my g/f *must* be tetrachromatic
as she seems to be able to see color differences that two of the girls
I live with (5 of us in a house) can't. So thats rather humorous,
we've decided she will be dressing me from now on...
