I'm colorblind and have never tried the glasses, but:
As many of you know, the western US has been experiencing significant wildfires in recent years.
When the smoke gets particularly bad in the valley I live in, the one upside is that colors -- particularly red become much more vibrant -- I marvel at stop signs, stop lights and naturally-occurring purples, in particular.
It makes it seem as though not only can I distinguish, but my perceived color spectrum widens. I swear I can see the colors clearly as they should be, even though I lack whatever cones or rods required. While I don't react to it with crying in the videos, it's certainly stunning and emotional.
I've been working on software over the years to try and duplicate the effect using a phone camera. It doesn't seem to be a simple brown filter.
