Color, one of the last elements to be added by the brain, can make a huge difference to our emotions. Neurologist Oliver Sacks has studied what happens to people who suffer brain damage that makes them completely colorblind, so that they see only whites, blacks, and grays. For some of these people, vision is not like watching black-and -white TV -- rather something important in addition to the colors is missing one of Sacks’s patients, Jonathan I, was a painter who became colorblind after a car accident. His eyes weren’t damaged, but the part of his brain that constructed color was. According toSacks, Jonathan I, found his new world to be alien, empty, and dead. He avoided other people, who seemed to him “like animated grey statues,” and he found food to be disgusting -- even when he closed his eyes, the mental image of a tomato looked as black as its appearance.~ Page 147
