I have worked as a software engineer for 10+ years in both companies big and small. I've gotten very used to and comfortable with my color deficiencies. I call it out right away when anything comes up and treat it almost comically. When some graph/diagram/chart comes up in a meeting and there's a bunch of colors I can't tell, I make sure to call it out; and pretty much take every opportunity that arises to remind my team mates that I'm not good at telling colors. No one feels bothered or anything, they tell me which is which, might use easier-to-tell colors next time, and we all have a laugh about it. There are indeed board games where colors matter a lot and they use colors I can't tell. Factory Fun is an example. I bought my own copy so that I could use a marker and put a letter "R" next to the red pipes on every tile so I can tell it from the green ones.
