Thyroid disease has damaged my optic nerve and I recently became unable to see purple (red is the color most affected by Graves disease damage and the red has been removed from the purple turning it blue).

It is kind of sad to see LSU purple and gold as blue and gold.

According to my neuro-op, as the ability to see purple declined, my brain would still process the color as purple because it knew that LSU colors were purple and gold. One day, I said to myself "Why are the LSU colors blue?"

I wonder if hypnosis would fix it back where the brain would still process it as purple.

Did it happen quickly or one day you just realized that you could no longer see purple? It's crazy how the human brain works

I've had Graves disease (fancy name for hyperthyroidism, btw) for 13 years now.....and this has never been an issue. Did yours go untreated for a prolonged period of time or what?

Baw, you've got to wait at least a year to recycle a thread.

Our colors use to be Blue and white before it changed to purple and gold. If you don't know the whole story, I think it was in the late 1800s. The football team went down to New Orleans to play Tulane and for some reason the players and fans wanted to be festive so they bought mardi gras themed clothing, accessories, etc and that lead to LSU changing it's colors, but before then we were blue.. And white.

As I aged, I have lost the ability to see most blues. With the exception of baby blue, they almost always appear purple.

I was about to say it's nice to see Ole Miss colors and then.
