When I first started to make Milanses bobbin lace, my husband was finally impressed with my lace saying that it was nice to see some colors. While my color blind husband has most likely been color trained, he is unsure of most of the colors I use in Milanese lace. My husband, I think, finds the designs of my Milanese and wire lace to be more interesting than other laces, so perhaps it wasn't necessarily the colors.
In daily life, being color blind has not been a problem. Occasionally, as my husband does some wiring, I am called upon to label colors of wires for him. On a more interesting note, I have a new student who is just learning to speak English. In addition to being vision impaired, I've been told that he doesn't see any colors at all. Being that I am a highly visual instructor, it's necessary to find other creative methods of instruction. Tamara's suggestion of perhaps limiting patterns to the use of just a few colors in addition to types of lines might be the best compromise.
