A rare vision condition where an organism or eye cannot properly distinguish or process different colors due to underdeveloped color perception systems.
From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'kritos' (distinguished) + 'chroma' (color) + '-cy' (condition), literally 'a condition of not distinguishing colors.'
This word combines Greek roots in a way that beautifully describes color-blindness, yet the term itself is so obscure that it's actually harder to pronounce than the simpler 'achromatopsia' that doctors use today.
