Boyfriend's apt


Question Posted Sunday May 7 2006, 4:07 pm

My boyfriend, who is colorblind, is always talking about how he wants to re-do his apartment and stuff. I was doing to do it for him for his birthday with the help of his mom, and a few friends while he's away.


Now, when it comes to his colorblindness, he isn't a complete gray scale or anything. He mostly can't tell the different between green and red. So basically anything with those colors is what he has a hard time with. The first time he was over at my house (I still live with my parents) he was looking at the walls in our game room and said "why did you guys paint this an ugly brown color??" The walls were army green :). I still laugh about it.


Anyways, on with the problem...


He LOVES blues though (because its the color he can see distinctly). He likes any type of blue. Although, sometimes he can't tell the difference between purples and blues hehe.


So here's where I don't know what to do. Since he loves blue so much I was going to put as much blue in there as I can. But, I don't want it to bee too...blue because sometimes that doesn't look all that great. And then again, I want him to enjoy it and he might not be able to if I use other colors.


If I use other colors, he'll be able to tell that I changed everything and he would appreciate it but I don't want to run the risk of using a beautiful color that he would see as hideous.


Any ideas?

maybe you can have a theme for the room like the beach or the sky that way you can have all diffrent shades of blue and it can be creative. If this idea sounds corny and dumb maybe you can paint the walls white and have funky color funiture avoiding the colors that are hard for him to see giving the room a modern clean crisp look.Hope I helped good luck
