No. The article states “total absence of working cones in their eye retinas, leaving them with only rods”.
I’m trying to say that not being able to see color does not mean black and white or grayscale, it means the brain does not decipher color hue.
My example of the blind spot was to outline that a lack of receptors does not mean black, white, grey, whatever. It means a lack of signals to the brain to process anything. In the case of lacking cones, it means an inability to process color. When it’s described as “grayscale” that’s to help people understand a concept that is difficult for some people to grasp.
Think of it this way. Black is like 0, White is like 1, and Grayscale would be a float (decimal) between 0 and 1, while Colorblind is like NULL.
