For a colorblind person (like me), going through life is almost as easy as the average Joe. Sure, we might not be able to match our clothes as well, but we can manage.There is almost no problem in everyday life because this isn't a painful or life threatening disease. However, the hardest time for a colorblind person is elementary school (I speak from experience). I hated art class, and the art teacher hated me. She always thought I was goofing around when I messed up colors, but she never caught on that I was colorblind and I never summed up the courage to tell her. Some other strange things that people take for granted can really be a problem for colorblind people. For instance, most people can tell when their meat is done, color deficient people may not be able to tell the difference between a rare or an uncooked meat. Along the same lines, color deficient people may not be able to tell the ripeness of fruit.
In conclusion, we color blind people generally get through life pretty easy, and it is surprising how many people think it is cool that you are colorblind.
