Something that effects many (8+%) men is color blindness, most commonly red-green, but there are other variants. I'm wondering how color blind people out there handle fashion.

Personally, my case is not that severe (and I got better night / distance vision in compensation, more rods, less cones), but I'm still aware that 95+% of people see colors differently. This leads me to conservative choices, neutral + one color generally, perhaps with shades. Generally that means black + dark peacock tones + silver in my case, gothic tendencies, and I dress mostly to please myself, but still, one wonders how it's seen.

Those with it, what are your strategies ? Are there trust worthy guides that don't look bad to you? I find some color combinations that are usually considered good pretty off. Perhaps a list of color combinations that the general population finds bad to avoid?

Those without it, what are your thoughts?

What am I missing?

I don't know any colourblind people in real life but I've been waiting to ask someone to pick their favourite colour schemes as they see it and see how it looks to me. I am tentatively thinking it will still look good but maybe I'll eventually see examples.
