no no
it's not the absence of colour or the inability to see certain colours, just problems identifying, naming or seeing certain colours as distinct...
colour BLINDNESS is a very unhelpful term... it's more like dyslexia or colour confusion (in my experience anyway). You do get people who lack the photoreceptor which allow you to see in colour, but that's not me... I have the kit (most of it) it's just the signals get jumbled up in the thinking box.
My cousin has something sort of like that. He has to wear green-tinted glasses.

nope
I's not a problem in the slightest in any situation other than those where they give you the follow the green dots colour blindness test... or if I were an electrician or something.

so - as I understand it - day light (high light saturation colour) vision is performed by groups of
photoreceptive cells in the retina called cones. There are three types of cone, each is sensitive to different wavelengths of light and the combinations of reactions of these three types of cone allows for the spectrum of visible light to be experienced. For me (again - this is just my understanding of it) different wavelengths of light (which would cause a different combination of reactions in these cells in a normal person) are treated with the same reaction, and so to my mind are the experienced as being the same or very similar...
another aspect of it is that I was always very poor with colours as a young child (because of the colour blindness) and so have a natural aversion to thinking in terms of colours.
Plus you never give me awful Champagne, which is another point of why I only drink with you.
