So ... you're already aware of of your red-green blindness or just finding out?

    It's quite common in it's mild forms. I never noticed it till after shop-class when I was really good with the theoretical aspects of electric circuits, but on the practical pieces I always put in the wrong resistors ... because they were colour coded with shades of green/red/brown that kind of look the same for me. I even argued with my teacher that I did in fact put in the correct resistors, but he won because it actually wasn't working ...

    Only a few years later when doing a vision exam during mandatory conscription that they just blatantly asked me if I was colourblind ... and at first I was like .. "no?". But they said that results said I was ... and suddenly shop class made sense ...

    Is the tiger similar color to the grass for you?

    Are orange housecats remotely stealthy?

    The tiger no. But put that same hue of orange next to some greenery without any context and it might.

    The brain is really good at compensating for colourblindness. You could probably paint a tiger green and I'd tell you it's orange because I know tigers are supposed to be orange.
