Nate,

The term "Colour blindness" is now frowned on. Apparently "colour
deficiency" is the more correct term - for what it's worth.  :)

Anyway, there are basically three types of colour deficiency. They are:
1. Deuteranope (a form of red/green colour deficit)
2. Protanope (another form of red/green colour deficit)
3. Tritanope (a blue/yellow deficit- very rare)

You can check to see if you have red/green colour deficiency here:

Visicheck has an online tool that allows you to see how an image or website
will look to those with Deuteranope, Protanope or Tritanope.
