3. Cerebral achromatopsia or dyschromatopsia Following a cortical lesion, a human subject loses specifically the ability to see the world in colour Appearance is ‘dirty shades of grey’ Often accompanied by a transient inability to recognize faces (prosopagnosia) No obvious loss of form vision measured by acuity The signals relayed to the brain are normal, but the mechanism used to construct color appearance is defective.

4. Examples of dissociation – A little Neurology Oliver Sacks patient suffered a car accident; artist for whom color vision was lost while pattern vision was retained There are instances in which color vision is spared, while form vision is lost: carbon monoxide poisoning (Wechsler, 1933); also SB and Michael May

8. Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Test A method for determining color vision abnormalities and testing color discrimination. Provides reliable data which can be applied to many psychological and industrial color vision problems. The set consists of four trays containing a total of 85 removable color reference caps that have incremental hue variation on one side and are numbered on the reverse side. Color vision anomalies and color aptitude are detected by a subject's ability to place the color caps in hue order. The four trays are boxed in a wooden carrying case. Used by government and industry for over 50 years.
