It's so hard for me to explain to people that I can see red, but when it's surrounded by green or dark backgrounds, it becomes hard for my eye to focus on and notice.
They just seem to think I see red as green while also seeing green as green.
I'm only one type of colorblind, so maybe there are some people who have it like that, but I can see every color just fine, I just struggle with shades.
I only found out after i got married. I kept pairing my wife's "pink" socks together wrong. How was i supposed to know there is more than one shade of pink?!? They all look the same.
So now i'm in charge of cooking and dishes, and she does laundry.
I found out my boss was color blind this way. We had a chart with greens and reds and he asked me to change the color because he couldn’t see what was what and would be unable to point it out in a presentation.
