Purple What?

My poor husband is color blind - all his brothers are...I usually forget about it because it doesn't limit him and it really doesn't come up unless we are taking about paint colors. The other night we were eating out and I was wearing a purple shirt and I got a complement. Blake asked me what color I was wearing. Purple is the only color he can't see. He doesn't see a lot of colors quite right but he absolutely can't see purple. He sees it somewhere on the red or blue spectrum. It is kind of sad that he misses out on an entire color scheme - no lavender, no egg plant, no nothing. When I am shopping for him I have to resist the urge to buy him purple, he wouldn't know the difference...until someone told him.

After we played the "What color is this?" game for a while (Blake's favorite), we started talking about teams that had purple in their colors. The only team that Blake already knew was purple was LSU, and maybe Clemson. We rattled off 5 or more teams and Blake was shocked. He assumed they were all blue. Then I realized we had forgotten one and I told him about the Lakers being yellow and purple. He thought I was lying. It was pretty funny. Now he will be second guessing all the sports teams color combos, hehe.
