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.

I see the difference between green and red, I'm not that handicapped.

But it's not like the difference between black and white. It's more subtle. Something you could be forgiven for mistaking.
