Re:Why we're blind to the color blue by analog31 on Friday July 16, 2021 @11:14PM (#27863322)
There's a difficulty with testing perceived color by using a computer display, which is that the "blue" is the spectrum of the blue pixels, whereas the "blue" receptors in your eye may have a different spectral response.

Where I've noticed weird things with blue are with blue sources that have fairly short wavelengths, such as some of the blue LEDs used in Xmas tree lights, and the old blue lights that were on police call boxes. Both of those are very hard for me to focus on.

This happens to me as well and I though I was becoming blind (to blue light) because of my heavy use of monitors/"white" light, etc...
