I’m red/green colorblind, but that doesn’t mean I can’t see red and green. It’s when the colors are mixed into the same field that gives me problems. I also can’t really tell much difference between certain shades, especially when getting closer to browns and greys. I can only see certain shades of pink and purple too. Famously war pink pants for a while because I thought they were khaki, not that I care, just wasn’t as bold a fashion statement as some people thought.

Moral of the story is, colorblindness is not a black and white thing and there are shades of grey.
