Question for those who are colorblind

B17-P51
Sorry, I am not being intentionally rude or inconsiderate to your condition, just trying to gather information.
What do you see when you look at Blaze Orange in a hunting (or a store) situation? I have been told that it appears as white or grey.
Again, just looking for information.
Thanks

    Chemo and radiation (the last resort level regimen I received) caused transitional blue and yellow color blindness which also affected green shadings...

    The effect was quite startling and was random in its occurrence.

    Orange was fine.

    I know that there is a simple visual test that kids take in school - where a circle of dots has a number inside it - you see the number if you can discern color differences - the number cannot be seen if you are color blind

    Deer don't see orange so they only see a pattern in black and grey tones - humans are supposed to see the blaze orange stand out glaringly

    I have a red and green defficincy.
    On a sunny day with perfect light blaze orange looks bright! Like bright orange. But camo jumps out at me too on those days.
    On a cloudy or bad light day, orange looks gray or muddy. So does camo!
    I also can not follow blood except in good fresh snow.
    It sucks!
    Stop lights can mess with me too! Green looks like a street light! Yellow and red same, if I can't compare the two! Think flashing red or yellow!

    When people find out I am color blind,the first thing they ask is what color something close is.Since I don't have any color to compare it to,I make up some wild color to tell them.
