       seeing colors

       I don't know what possessed me to try, but I've been sitting here
       for the last five minutes trying not to see color. I stared at my
       Goodreads page (that's what was up at the time) and managed to get
       the color to fade away in parts at a time but no luck on the full
       color spectrum yet. The reds & greens were doable together, but
       the blue is harder. If I focus on just not seeing blue then the
       red pops back in.
       
       Please don't ask me to explain what I'm even doing to try this.
       The best way I can explain would be to say it's like blurring your
       eyes, but they stay focused. Not helpful, right? It's also much
       easier to do in the periphery than directly in the center of
       vision. I understand we have more cones in the center of vision
       than rods, so that's probably why. If I'm doing something to be
       selective about that in good ol' brain meats, that would make
       sense.
       
       Have you ever tried this? Any luck?
