New Fender USA Stratocaster on layby.

Know what you mean Doc as my eldest Son Mitch inherited his colour blindness from my wife's father. Both of them are red/green deficient but in differing degrees to the point where Mitch struggles to tell the difference between Blues & Purples as he cannot see the red component in purple. Greens, Browns & Greys can also tend to blend into one another too.

Must be a mind bender for you doing all the electronic & electrical stuff as lots of that is colour coded and in shades that are not friendly for those with any form of colour blindness.

My Colourblindness is actually Red/Green deficient too, but I've got no problems distinguishing different shades of Blue though, I get Browns confused with Reds, and Light Greens confused with Oranges, and yeah some times it can be a bit of a mind bender when it comes to reading the colour-coding on resistors, but I found a good work-around for that, I just measure the resistor with my multimeter, and if it's not the value I need I just keep measuring resistors till I find the one I need, so far that seems to work for me.

My mum had Blue/Green Deficient Colourblindness, she has trouble differentiating between Greens and Blues, I must have inherited it from her, she seems to do alright though, she makes dresses for herself and she's pretty good at it.
