Interesting. I carry the gene for color-blindness, am waiting to confirm that my son doesn't have it. So far, so good.

Best wishes.

You would be surprised at how often the R/G color blindness creates a problem. Lots of computer peripherials have LEDs that glow either red or green. People create web pages with red text on black backgrounds. Airplanes, boats, marker bouys and things like that have Red/Green lights to distiguish left from right. People color code graphs with red and green.

We R/G color blind people do have a big advantage in the woods, forrests and jungles. We can distinquish shapes and details that other people can not. R/G color blind people make good hunters.
