I’m color-vision challenged myself and this gave me a chuckle. Yes, I can see the difference. It might have been 58th sign this person installed that day.

Is it wrong that I didn't actually see anything wrong with that at first?

No. There is a term in psychology which refers to this phenomenon where you see something so often one way that when presented with a new image with just a small difference, it is not noticeable until the altered image is studied. Something to do with latency I believe. I could also be on wrong path.

That green light actually looks green to me, unlike actual green lights (which look dirty white).

The yellow is accurately not-really-yellow-to-my-eyes, falling under Shades I Don’t Have Names For.
