I had to do that back in the day when I had a different job 
We can agree on the wavelength because that’s something which can be measured objectively. There’s bound to be variation as to how the organs and system for receiving and interpreting radiation function in different individuals but it’s probably fairly minimal otherwise we wouldn’t be such a visual species.
Thats why OH failed RAF test, he wanted to be a pilot but couldn’t tell difference between land and sea on the colour test.
Would have had a very short career!
Yeh he never got off the ground so to speak.

Well I really started something here, but for all the points of view I think I can say that, whatever shade of pink the skirt is, it is pink. 
And not one single person has identified it as orange.
I feel vindicated, but won’t be mentioning it later. 
Lots to do now, off around midday.

Bon voyage
Exactly! Same also with food taste.
Just to complicate the discussion a little further, there is a rare group of people, almost always female, who are tetrachromats. Often inherited.
Without realising this or having had it diagnosed, such people often gravitate towards jobs and hobbies that make great use of the extra colour vision. They (we) can also be quite irritating to trichomats who cannot see the nuances.
Soon there may be, depending on costs, a way everyone can see more colours
As Billy says, best to try and agree on the generalities for the sake of a peaceful life!
Better to silently just know you are right.
Have a good trip!

Bon voyage and enjoy the reunion.
Enjoy your trip and stay safe!
Thanks everyone, really stressed out now, the suitcase zip won’t budge, will have to strap it. Forgot my 2 English PINs so will have to rely on contactless to diesel up, at least to £50, but the credit card company says some places might allow more, but can’t get extra cash until I get to the branch in Nottingham.
CiAS, the aide de toilette arrived this morning and just now SSIAD the aide soignante too, wasn’t sure if she would, a young Portuguese she is retiring tomorrow. She is 60, I can’t believe it, it isn’t only policemen who get younger as you age.
Think I have remembered the way I remembered my bank PIN now, will give it a go, once only, when I get to Folkestone on Wednesday morning. Fingers crossed.
BTW Gill says the colour is gladiolie(sp?) the same as her bridesmaids dresses. 
Basically, yes.
The strawberries on is interesting as there is also the psychological element of knowing that they are supposed to be red - the effect is not so pronounced if they are replaced with “blobs”.
Interestingly I also perceive yellow in the pastry crust and the wooden table top despite knowing that all the pixels are actually cyan.

Why not schedule an optician appointment during your trip to the UK? They are good at detecting cataracts, in my experience [and you don’t have to wait a year!]

You don’t in France if you visit your MT and explain that because of the cataracts you are now unable to (eg) drive at night…

What else changes with age?
My hair is going curly, lovely curls at the nape of my neck.
Perhaps older French women might also have curly hair, but they have this very severe hair cut instead.
