Summary "Color Blind" by Charles A. Stearns is a science fiction story likely written in the mid-20th century. The narrative follows a young woman named Sukey Jones, who struggles with her identity and self-worth in a world obsessed with beauty and appearance. With themes related to social status, beauty standards, and the quest for acceptance, the story explores the lengths individuals go to achieve an idealized self-image. Set against the backdrop of a vibrant Venus, the plot revolves around Sukey’s journey from being a counter girl in a spaceport café to entanglements with society's elite. She takes a job as a maid for the wealthy Althea Campbell, who is determined to chase beauty through the fabled rainbow gardens of Venus. When things go awry and Sukey is left locked away, her friend Harry Thurbley, a kind-hearted space pilot, embarks on a quest to rescue her. The story takes an unexpected turn as Harry discovers the dangerous grip of beauty culture and the true consequences of vanity. Ultimately, the tale serves as a poignant reflection on societal pressures surrounding appearance and the value of genuine connection over superficial glamour.
