uh. 
there are three types of colorblindness: deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia. The first two are red/green variations and comprise 99% of colorblind people. The last is blue/yellow and extremely rare. http://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/2C.html
turquoise is green/blue, so if you were red/green you would see it differently than most people certainly. but blue AND red? I don't see how that's even possible.

Check out their examples and see which ones fit you.

Yes, blue AND red. I did a 10ish page research paper on colorblindness. It IS possible, and yes I am. There are also women who are colorblind (which was forever thought to be not possible). And there are people who can only see monotone's too

There's a pic at the bottom that says "This image contains the number 37, but someone who is protanopic may not be able to see it."
Can't see it at all
And one for "Test for Deuteranopia[Note 1]
This image shows a number 49, but someone who is deuteranopic may not be able to see it."
Can't see it at all
And lastly one for "Test for Tritanopia[Note 1]
This image shows the number 56, but someone who is tritanopic may not be able to see it."
Can only make out "56" because it says there's a 56 there.. when I first looked at it, I could BARELY see the light blue.. and at first couldn't make out if anything were there
Then there is:
Which from my understanding is a little bit of all three types.. but isn't enough to make things SUPER difficult to see?
S2020 where you at? Work is not important right now.

Then there is:
Anomalous trichromacy
Those with protanomaly, deuteranomaly, or tritanomaly are trichromats, but the color matches they make differ from the normal. They are called anomalous trichromats. In order to match a given spectral yellow light, protanomalous observers need more red light in a red/green mixture than a normal observer, and deuteranomalous observers need more green. From a practical standpoint though, many protanomalous and deuteranomalous people breeze through life with very little difficulty doing tasks that require normal color vision. Some may not even be aware that their color perception is in any way different from normal. The only problem they have is passing a color vision test.

gotcha. Deuteranopia here. nice and easily identifiable. The other two tests i can make out the numbers but just barely.
we totally jacked this thread.

Nope nothin. What are colors are you color blind?
I'm all: turquoise, blue, and red (by "all" I mean all the ones you can be colorblind for those who didn't know)

This is a tattoo of a guy I used to know at school. Its on his ass. Under the picture, it reads "Just watching the back door"
