   Color blindness does not work like that. Color blind people can still   
   see colors, they just have problems with some specific colors or color   
   combinations. The most common variety is the red/green type. It makes   
   it difficult to tell the difference between red and brown, and also to   
   see small red objects if they're surrounded by green. Finding   
   cranberries, for example, is nearly impossible. ...

   During the development of Power over Ethernet I wrote a complex program to   
   configure the controller ICs which included color to show status. A   
   color-blind engineer couldn't use it so I made the colors user selectable   
   and he found a combination he liked.

   Some traffic lights here have flashing white strips across the red and a   
   matching beeper.
