Color perception varies from person to person. Perception is a subjective phenomenon influenced by many variables including the light source, surrounding colors, mood of the viewer and individual variations in our visual systems. A small number of people have color-deficient vision. The most common form is the inability to distinguish between reds and greens. These people are considered color blind. This phenomenon may result from one type of cone missing or a defect that affects analysis in the brain. Color blindness affects about 8% of men and less than 0.5% of women.
