May 20th, 2017: Mr Rogers' Cardigans

footfootfoot · 05-23-2017, 07:59 AM

There is a color-blindness simulation plug-in in photoshop, it does not include Tritanopia, which is extremely rare, but does include Protanopia and Deuteranopia. Here are the cardigan colors as Mr. Rogers would have seen them, depending on which type of color blindness.

Here is a link to a picture simulating Tritanopia: https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic2262111_lg.jpg

He had terrible taste in colors then, because those are hideous.

You're assuming she loved him like a rock.

From some of those sweaters, I wonder if she even liked him.

Unless you've always thought, "Mr. Rogers Cardigans are hideous," then those colors can't be hideous, and he--by your definition--couldn't have had bad taste. Context. If they are bad colors *for a cardigan* you would have noticed.

He didn't have much choice; those were the only colors he'd ever seen. Or were you referring to the original chart? In that case, I doubt those were the exact colors, but represented the different color groups. Why would he have so many identically colored cardigans?

In the original chart I posted, each square represents a show, with the color he wore on that show. 54 red squares is 54 shows he wore red, not 54 red sweaters.
