" If you thought your partner had done pretty well with your birthday presents this year, just wait until you see this video, because suddenly that romantic cheese toastie maker and the nifty pair of extra fluffy socks will NOT seem so great. Grumble. Ethan Scott was born colourblind, so being given a pair of these technologically crazy EnChroma glasses by his boyfriend James was kind of a big deal. They allow the wearer to temporarily distinguish colours as someone without the visual impairment would experience them, and for Ethan, that meant purple was finally a thing. As he explains in the video, being colourblind &amp;quot;doesn&amp;#039;t mean I see the world in black and white, it means I see things in a way that are a little more ... dull&amp;quot;. While he can see pink and green on a daily basis, they appear more grey and blue. It might not sound too big a deal, but imagine seeing a colour for the first time that you&amp;#039;d NEVER SEEN BEFORE. The entire video is kind of mindblowing, from Ethan&amp;#039;s first glimpse of bright purple, to seeing bright green grass in the sunshine, it&amp;#039;s gonna leave you feeling all the warm and fuzzies. He drops hilarious F-bombs and S-bombs all over the show and is generally loving life with his new birthday colour specs on, so have a watch of the video for yourself here:      IT&amp;#039;S SO HAPPY. Let us know if this warmed your cockles good and proper with a tweet to @CosmopolitanUK. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
