Being colorblind myself, I used to be envious of people who could see more colors than me. I still am, to some extent. Though, over the years I picked up on an upside to it. Since I'm unable to see as many colors when viewing the world, I tend to pick up changes in motion much more quickly than people around me.
It makes me fairly proficient at driving, dodging moving obstacles while doing any physical activiy, and fast-paced games (like FPS) - even if the trade off is that I occasionally killed teammates because I couldn't see the color differences between players at times.
Everything has it's pros and cones (pun :D)
- acjohnson55 7y agoI'm also colorblind, and other than the occasional mixup, I don't feel like I'm missing out on much. There's still plenty of color, perhaps just with less vibrant difference in the red-green area.

- kempbellt 7y agoI was referring to driving a vehicle IRL - just in case that wasn't clear. Some gimmes: brake lights are usually horizontal to one another, and red. If you're driving towards bright white lights, or they are vertically aligned, something has probably gone wrong... This type of pattern matching is frequently how I go about navigating the world.
- whamlastxmas 7y agoI've heard (it could be total BS) that color deficient snipers have an advantage because they can spot artificial camo more easily. It makes sense if you're used to not relying on color as much and look more for patterns and motion
