Someone told me I was "color for the colorblind," a few days ago. I don't know how I should take that. Do you ever get backhanded compliments?
Compliments, or not?

It's a complement
it means you can make a blind man see again your so beautiful.

I think it was a beautiful compliment
It's hard to tell. At first I liked Flys interpretation.
Then I realized colors mean very little if you’re colorblind (I’m guessing). And in that case it would qualify as an insult.
I went for a tiebreaker and checked your profile.
The verdict is in: Had to have been an compliment.

It sounded like it was meant to be a complement, but got turned around en route to you.
Maybe that person meant to say that you're like color in a black and white world?
I dunno. I was once told I was like water to a drowning man, and the person meant it as a complement. It's funny how something that sounds so good in your head gets so screwed up on its way out.

If it was a backhanded compliment it was subtle. The fact that it was subtle is a compliment to the intelligence of the reciever of the complient. Thus no matter how you look at it you were complimented. I am certain i get backhanded compliments but I am too dense to understand them. In my case being subtle is just plain mean. So backhanded compliments which are intended to insult insult me twice because the compliment was an insult and i never got it. Help! My brain is filling the room with smoke! Call the fire department!

"Color for the colorblind."
lets say that I was unable to decipher any sort of color. Lets say all I saw was white, for example. Now imagine, when I saw you, I could actually see "colors". Reds, Blues, Greens,Yellows, Purples, Greys, Black, Oranges, the whole sh'bang!
Would I laugh? ...Maybe. Would I cry? ...Mabye. But I'm sure it would be the most intense, exhilarating, mind-blowing experience of my colorless life.
I would take that as a compliment.
Now if he said "Color to the color blind." Well color to a colorblind person is all the same. Therefore not to interesting, and you shoud kick him in the balls...

Like food for the hungry. Or water for the thirsty. Color for the color blind. Works for me.
