THE NINETEENTH
April
with, regard to wMcli colour-blindness simply does not exist. This
change would, however, evidently be a very revolutionary one, and
there may very conceivably be practical reasons with respect to visi
bility from a distance, or in foggy weather, which would militate
against such an alteration. The second proposal, which is in its
essence the same as the first suggestion, is the proposal which has
been made above, and which may probably enough prove to be a
feasible one. This suggestion is, that provision should be made that
the red employed in signals shall be in all cases a distinct yellowish,
red and that the green shall be an equally distinct blue green. If, as
seems probable, these distinctions in yellow and blue can be made plain
enough to provide for the ready discrimination of the signals even in
the most aggravated cases of colour-blindness, we might evidently dis
pense altogether with colour-vision examinations. If, on the other
hand, they cannot be made plain enough for the aggravatedly colour
blind to appreciate, they ought at any rate to be introduced every
where as a precaution against accidents from slight or incipient
colour-blindness which may have escaped detection. In all accidents
which may occur, where the accident is attributed to colour-blindness,
it is evident that attention ought to be paid to the question, whether
the ready discrimination of the signals by their yellows and blues has
been properly provided for.
