Not on my screen they aren't.

Is it pink and purple, white and gold. Or black and white this is going to be one of those weird internet things eh?

Posting to see what colour my name ends up being

 

[DPG]

Ah, boring.

 

[Andy78]

Pink or brown is always a dilema.

I usually get stuck right into eating the bit in the middle. Nom nom nom.


Neapolitan ice cream is wasted on me to be honest.

I think the colours are ok.

 

[DPG]

Ah. So it's forum mentors that are pink.

A colour blind electrician

Excuse me, but I resemble that remark. Please don't shout about it, my employer doesn't yet know! I get round it with an iPhone app called ColourBlind.

TBH, I thought I'd have a lot of trouble, but I rarely do. Even Cat5/6 isn't a problem when you learn which pairs are opposite each other inside the outer. The ones I find easiest are the multi-core black ones with numbers printed on the cores I did have an entertaining morning with a 20 core (10 twisted pairs) that needed to be identified by colour, but be methodical and it's all OK. Oh, and when I say 'morning' yes, it was a whole morning, I had 80 terminations - two ends and a JB in the middle with 40! I have no idea what was connected to the JB and at the end, I just terminated in the panels as instructed with cable IDs and ferrules. The PLC and the equipment were someone else's problem - though I have a feeling I'll be revisiting them at some point.

Certain colour deficiencies do not preclude becoming an electrician.

that's another gripe of mine. even someone with colour blindness can tell the difference between red and black. as for brown and grey, even a spark with perfect colour vision struggles to distinguish in poor light.

Come next March 30th, we can go back to Red, White & Blue.
Or can we, I don't know if we're in or out! Let's not go there!
