As Seen By The Color Blind

Color blindness affects a significant amount of the population, and it is even more prevalent in more isolated populations with a smaller gene pools. Those affected either cannot distinguish red from green, or see red and green differently. It is mostly a genetic condition, though it can be caused by eye, nerve, or brain damage, or due to exposure to certain chemicals.
