You can only see red. The blood of your enemies is the only thing you can focus on in the heat of battle. Cries erupt around you but all you can see is red. From a neck. From a leg. Some of it lands on your face. You wipe most of it off, continuing into the fray. There is your enemy, clear as day with red all over his chest. He is fighting off all those who oppose him, even though he is surrounded. He turns to fight off another attacker. This is your chance. The red vest gives you a clear target. Closer, closer you run. You ready your sword to plunge it in and-
Cones, the colour receptors in our eye, contain proteins called opsins which are sensitive to specific wavelengths of light. In protanopia the red cones are filled with the opsin that's supposed to go in green cones; in deuteranopia, green cones are filled with red opsin. The actual cause of the disorder is slightly different, hence the names, but the outcome is pretty much the same.
This is what I found.
Protanopes are more likely to confuse:
1. Black with many shades of red
2. Dark brown with dark green, dark orange and dark red
2. Some blues with some reds, purples and dark pinks
3. Mid-greens with some oranges

Deuteranopes are more likely to confuse:
1. Mid-reds with mid-greens
2. Blue-greens with grey and mid-pinks
3. Bright greens with yellows
4. Pale pinks with light grey
5. Mid-reds with mid-brown
6. Light blues with lilac
This is just plain perfect.
Thank you.
Same goes for how do we know what colors dogs/cats see?
