The worst colorblind experience I've had was playing basketball against a team with uniforms I couldn't tell a color difference. I had to focus on the style and typeface difference, as well as if I recognized the person or not. Extremely frustrating.

Second worst was teachers in elementary asking why the grass was brown and water was purple in my drawings. Huh?

I've gotten free games out of complaining to publishers. (Lucas Arts and Cyan Worlds come to mind). "I can't finish your game, it's got color based puzzles in it." "Sorry, sir." "Do you know that about eight percent of your customers have the same problem I do?" "What!? Uh oh..."

Heh. You are assuming that all of their customers are male?

Not necessarily a bad assumption, but yes . . .
