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 do have a collarless in pink I like more for it's cut than it's color, silk so it get's worn for feel more than it's color, yay for random Op Shop finds. As said, I dress to please myself, but one wonders.
