The weekly attendance cards are not printed on the same color paper every week. The individual who had been making announcements and encouraging the attendees to fill out the attendance cards would oftentimes ask, "What color is the card this week?" "Is it salmon colored?"
I thought he was trying to be funny. Or appeasing those who split hairs in color differentiation - salmon-colored versus pink, pinkish-orange, corral-colored, or some other color.
Turns out he is color blind. He genuinely cannot tell the difference in certain colors. Lacks the ability to differentiate certain colors.
In a manner of speaking, we (all of us) are color blind in our perspective(s) of life. How we see and interpret life is colored by our experiences and other factors. When hungry or tired, for example, life can appear more cruel and mean.
