Wow, how old were you when you noticed this condition?

  It was my art teacher who pointed it out in grade 9. I always just thought it was normal and never put thought to how different each eye colour was. My dominant eye* is the colour blind one, so it affects the way I paint things unless I actively remember to match what I see in my right eye only. And even then my colours tend to be wonky because I'm just used to seeing things this way. I get made fun of my colour labeling often enough - especially when I comment on the colour of food items. Like both orange and purple are different shades of brown. Purple looks richer, like chocolate, though. Orange is more like clay. * To tell which eye is your dominant one: with both eyes open, stretch your arm out and point at something. Without moving, close one eye, then switch. Only one eye will be lined between your finger and the pointed-to object. That's your dominant eye. The other is used for context and 3D resolution.
