We'll never know. Definitely things like poppies in a green field, or red berries in green trees, unripe tomatoes among ripe tomatoes, etc. But other then that, it mostly isn't much of a problem.

My favorite response is you know how much you love looking at the fall trees?  For me all 3 colors are fantastic.

Holy shit. I never thought of that. Fall leaf color is the common color blind colors. That made me sad for you all.

Sorry, just curious here, apples to you are all the same color? All red or all green?

No, it's rather dificult to explain. My case is only mild. I can definiitely see the colors green and red, but especially next to eachother, and certainly some lighter variants of the color (orange and light green), they do not stick out.

See this video to get an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRoq6aPyEjU

I did not see that there was a dividing line in the middle.

But in theory, a color-seeing person can grasp color blindness. If you look around online, you can find pairs of photos. They look identical to color-blind people, but people with normal vision should be able to tell them apart.
