Oliver Sacks visited Pingelap to report on that condition. Having achromatopsia isn't like living on the "Casablanca" set though. You don't see much detail, and it also includes extreme light sensitivity. Kind of drag, all in all. "The Island of the Colorblind" is the book.
You may have cerebral achromatopsia, which can result from trauma, illness, or some other cause; people with the cerebral version see everything in shades of gray.
Good question, Eli! I recall there being a smorgasbord of off-brand wildlife being sampled in Brendan's safari. That kind of thing can totally come back and bite you in your retinal cones.
I just read "The Island of the Colorblind". Get out of my head!
