OCD's!

I have what I call "color OCD"... I'm very big on things being in rainbow order. When I was a little kid and got those enormous Crayola packs of crayons with tons of crayons in them and opened it up and they were all random...AHH! I had to fix them all into rainbow order. As a result though I have a very high color acuity, which means I can be VERY exact in my ordering of colors! Through this I've also gotten pretty good at guessing hexidecimal colors off the top of my head, though I suspect I've lost a fair amount of this skill since I haven't needed to do it for years.

 

Interestingly enough (or maybe not), I'm pretty bad at mixing colors with paints. I grew up coloring on the computer (Photoshop, oekaki, etc) so I always mixed colors using RGB light values, never actual paints. I'm really bad at that!

When I am outside, walking along, and I see a patch of clovers, I MUST stop and look for a 4-leafed one. I cannot control this impulse. If I am lucky I will find one right away so I can stop quickly. But if not, I can spend dozens of minutes searching.
