Yes, I train color distinctions. Every card has two colors and shows them plus a color name then the user has to decide which color Anki displayed. Over times the distance between the colors goes down and I pick colors that are more near to each other.
I was wondering why. It doesn’t seem all that useful, unless you are abnormally bad at color perception or you have a job or hobby that somehow needs good color perception (something in art or design?). I suppose it’s fun and interesting to see how well that kind of thing can be trained, and how it changes your experience, but I was wondering if there was more to it.
