It's not for making the colors nicer to look at for you but to avoid you putting on clothes which doesn't match in colors and look really off-putting to the non-color-blind (e.g. red pants, pink T-shirt).

I had a hard time figuring out which signs were informational - construction after 19h, and the "lane ends 200m" need different reactions. As far as clothes, I have a "garanimals" system with numbers to match up shirts and pants and optionally ties. Hopefully my wife is merciful and matching my clothes tastefully.
- kellishaver 15y agoIn this regard, and for the purposes of signage, etc. it would be helpful. I'm dealing with blue-green colorblindness right now due to a pretty bad (3+ NS) cataract in my only eye, and while I don't have problems looking at colors on, say, a computer monitor, I often stand in my closet asking myself "Is this shirt blue, or is it green?" My solution has been to own a lot of grey shirts.
