So you say you don't really see colors --- My oh my --- does that make you a
"Shades of Gray" type person?

Now I come from a different place. I am considered color blind though I do
see color. I cannot distinguish similar colors nor pick out individual
colors in a pattern, for instance. Too many destroyed cones in the retina.
There is a name for it this condition but it is in the color blindness
family. It has made things interesting at times and made for quite a few
hilarious memories. In my world pink and green are a perfect match! Lol I am
truly fascinated by this entire topic.
