You know, resistors (small electrical components) have their value marked on them with color bands.
Black is 0, Brown is 1, Red is 2, Orange is 3, etc.... 8 is grey and 9 is white. The value is marked as "Digit, Digit, Number-of-zeros".
So, for example, a 10,000 ohm resistor is marked Brown (1), Black (0), Orange (000).
I have a tough time distinguishing between red, orange and brown. If I need to find a resistor that has any of those colors in it, I have to stick it on an ohm-meter to be sure it is how I see it (and many times I'm wrong).
I guess that's a form of color blindness, but I don't seem to have any problems with color. Red, green and blue things are all clearly their colors with no question. I can see the image in any "color blindness" test patch, yet I have trouble with electronic color codes. Go figure.
Gentlemen may prefer Blondes, but Real Men prefer Redheads!
i see what looks like several small green snakes within a bunch of red dots.

Resistor colors, fun USAF tech school (well, in 1965 it was):
0-Bad (Black)
1-Boys (brown)
2-Rape (red)
3-Our (orange)
4-Young (yellow)
5-Girls (green)
6-But (blue)
7-Violet (purple-ish)
8-Gives (grey)
9-Willingly (white)
Forgot how tolerance in the 4th band was remembered.
Gold = +/- 5%
Silver + +/- 10%
