<onlyinclude>'''Colour suppression''' (also known as acquired color blindness<ref name="APADictionary-acquired-color-blindness">{{cite journal|title=acquired color blindness|journal=APA Dictionary of Psychology|url=https://dictionary.apa.org/acquired-color-blindness | access-date=20 May 2022}}</ref>) is defined as the experience of colours becoming darker, less saturated, and less distinguishable from one another. During this experience, reds may seem “less red”, greens may seem “less green”, etc and all colours will likely have become much greyer and less distinct to look at than they comparatively would be during everyday sober living. At higher levels, this effect can result in the external environment appearing to be black and white, monochrome, and completely devoid of colour.
