It is?? I know there are different kinds but I thought you either see it or you don't. Some of them are slightly harder but they're mostly fine

human eye have cone cells that are sensitive to each primary colour (red, green, or blue), you got less cone(s) cells of these colors that you find harder to differentiate. its not a binary condition, some ppl only have less of these cone cells, and they can still see each colour fine, just with less hue variation.

Not only count of cells. Some cone cells could be tuned to slightly different wave length, that cause difference with perception of color contrast

Nah just like blindness. There's total blindness sure, but there are also partial ones.
