I’m going to let you all in on a little secret: I’m color deficient, specifically in perceiving the narrow spectrum of colors between some shades of blue and green.
I’m not alone. The vision of 7-10% of males in the US are similarly deficient (as are nearly half of the male portion of DI Pro Product Management! I’m not naming names).
It hasn’t held me back; in fact, I used to print for a custom lab and I’ve been involved in professional imaging in one capacity or another for the last fourteen years. Like a lot of handicaps, you learn to work around it (and ask your wife’s advice before getting dressed ).
