Color Factory Houston is helping its colorblind guests so they can truly immerse themselves in the art museum. See how they got to experience it in a whole new way.
Daniel Rodriguez and his brother, Jonathan are both colorblind and came together to share in a fully immersive experience.

Brothers Daniel and Jonathan Rodriguez study the colorful yarn at Color Factory Houston's lobbyBefore we got to that, though, I noticed how intrigued the brothers were by a wall filled with cones that lit up different colors. When you remove them from the wall, the lights will be off and only reactivate when put into another opening on the wall.

“My late dog, a year ago, she passed away and so that was one of my favorite spots to take her,” he continued. “And now I want to go back there and see how it actually looks.”
