The use of colors is a technique that I learned from my professor of my Structural Analysis classes in engineering school, and I passed it on to Mark, Jr. when he entered engineering school.

My color blindness led a co-worker of mine who is a coder to change how he displayed colors on his graphical output. From that he realized there are a lot of people like me who can't see it when you have bright reds against a black or dark background and those bright orange and green and yellow shades against a white back ground. From that point on I became his test pilot on readability before he released his products.

My color blindness prevented me from applying to any electrical jobs when I joined the military. I also have poor depth perception where things look a lot closer than they really are. I did so bad on that test at the MEPS physical, the technician yelled at me for not taking it seriously.
