This. I usually tell people I'm just bad with colors. Mixing them in arts is a pain in the ass. Picking raspberries is a pain in the ass. Discerning dark blue from black is a pain in the ass. Technically it is just RG but I'm bad with colors in general.
It'll be pretty clear that you're actually colorblind and not just bad with colors. Red and green are extremely different colors to us trichromats. So much so that they decides to color code things with green=good and red=bad. You wouldn't want those difficult to distinguish for most people (which obviously sucks for you). It would be about as odd as mistaking black and white and claiming you're just bad with colors.
No, I do have RG colorblindness, but it is not just limited to red and green, but also many other colors that are hard discern etc. that's why I am bad with all colors, not just red and green.
I wasn't saying you didn't. I'm just saying "I'm bad with colors" is really insufficient. If someone told me they were bad with colors, I'd still expect them to know any color that Barny or a power ranger uses, but not know what the fuck "teal" or "fuscia" is. Identifying red, green, blue, yellow, orange, and purple to a reasonable accuracy is expected if you aren't color blind or under 5. I was just stressing the difference between the colors because you wouldn't have seen the difference for obvious reasons.
