The gift of color is the best gift of all
The gift of color is the best gift of all. I bought the outdoor glasses for my boyfriend who is red/green colorblind. When he put them on, he immediately grabbed the glasses box which had a purple side saying, “oh my god, what is th-is this PURPLE?” We cried and laughed, and purple is now his favorite color. I gave the glasses to him while we were in a vacation in Arizona. I had regretted my location choice leading up to giving the gift because I felt there wasn’t much color. Just dirt and cactuses. But boy was I wrong. After freaking out about the discovery of the color purple, he immediately noticed the patches of green clover that were sticking out in cracks of the dirt, and was just amazed at how “vibrant everything is, it looks like saturation is turned on.” The dirt was “so much more red” and the grass in between popped out at him. A landscape where I thought there was so little to offer, when in reality I was just not appreciating the vibrancy. I am now shopping the indoor colorblind glasses for him so he can continue to live his life in color.
