Have been working with two red-green blind people for some years. They told me they didn't know for the longest time. One of them became an electrician, the other one was disqualified since he couldn't differentiate between red and green. That's how he found out. The electrician guy found out years later once he questioned why his colleagues get the different coloured wires right all the time but he didn't. Both of them see red and green in different grey shades, they told me something like blacker greys are red and whiter greys are green.

Ha! I had an electrical engineer friend with a similar story. He thought manufacturers were idiots for colour coding their cables with shades that are so close to each other.

I think he'd been in the industry for about 5 years when he found out...

That's hilarious I love it. My prior coworkers were so confused by pink & lime green and those sorts of similar shades.

I had wired Ethernet in my whole house. Feeling like a complete dunce at having to give 3 tries for each termination. Before realizing two years later that i was red-green colorblind.

After that diagnosis i felt so fucking validated.
