Color blindness isn't just an accusation thrown around when someone believes a dress (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress_%28viral_phenomenon%29) is blue-and-black where you see white-and-gold. It's a very real condition that can create difficulties in daily life during those moments when discerning color is important, such as cooking or reading charts.</p><figure class="medium left"><img src="(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2015/05/colorenhancerenabled-100583933-medium.png)" alt="colorenhancerenabled" width="300" height="124"/> <figcaption>
