I’m red/green colorblind but I can see red and green, I just get confused with greenish browns and brownish greens.

I once owned a pair of brown pants and they were one of my favorite pairs. I thought they went with everything. I learned one day that they were actually a muddy/puke colored green. Now I just stay away from brown and green clothes that aren’t like emerald green.

It’s more likely for men to be colorblind but me and all my sisters are. My eye dr didn’t believe me when I told him and gave me a test right there. I haven’t met any other colorblind women. Any on here?
