When a person has color blindness nothing about their appearance will be different then others. On the other hand the appearance of other things to them will change. If you have red-green color vision defects then you will have a hard time seeing the difference between reds, greens, and yellows. That is the same for blues, yellows, and greens if you have tritan defects. Also known as blue-yellow color vision defects.

There are three different types of cones that provide vision in your eye. They all contain opsin, a photopigment. You need all of these cones to have normal color vision.

An absence in one of these spectrums could damage your color vision.
