Martin, I have a teenager who is partially colour blind but he is very talented and wants to become a graphic designer. I am worried this will hold him back as he did some work for me and could not be convinced that he had mixed up the pink and the red tones. His paternal grandfather has worse colour sight and both my parents had and all my siblings have red/green colour blindness, though my husband and I have normal colour vision. I noticed the problem in my son when he was a baby sorting blocks, so I think he must have been born with this problem. I don't really know how to approach this problem because I don't want to destroy his self confidence and his belief that he can function as a designer. He was very upset two years ago when he went for an eye test and was told about it then. Of course he hadn't realised, but I think that since then he has conveniently forgotten about it and believes it's not noticeable and won't affect him. How can I help him?

I associate the color difficulties with the colors of the chakras - thus, not seeing the difference between red and green = not seeing the difference between security and love. Not seeing the difference between red and pink = not seeing the difference between security and love being expressed. people in my classes have healed color blindness - but anyway, seeing the colors he has difficulties with, and understanding what that means in terms of his perceptions and consciousness, you will have something to work with.
