Years ago, I had to get a certificate of demonstrated ability for
defective color
vision.  All that was required was to physically demonstrate to the
inspector that I
could see green and white lights, and tell the difference between the two.
This was
done at the Salt Lake International Airport, with the light gun in the
tower, and us
in the parking lot.  Once I proved I could do it, I was issued a permanent
CEDA.  It
should be just that easy for you, once you convince the inspector to get
in the
cockpit with you.  Ooh!  That could be a problem.
