Indeed, I too, am "officially" red-green colourblind. That is, I see the
wrong pattern in those dot pattern they use for the tests. On the other
hand, I have very little problems distinguishing the colours in real
life.
The most difficult cases are tiny red lights at night (they look very
dark
grey) and that the edges between certain reddish and greenish hues tend
to
blur.
I just hope my "camouflaged" minis are not too awful.
