Colour-blindness

A person with colour blindness has trouble seeing red, green, blue or mixtures of these colours. The most common type is red-green colour-blindness, where red & green are seen as the same colour. Approx 1 in 12 males and 1 in 200 females have some form of colour vision deficiency.
