Color-blindness is reduced sensitivity to one or more colors. Most common is a reduced sensitivity to red or green wavelengths. These conditions are collectively known as red-green color-blindness. Practical consequence is not only a difficulty distinguishing red from green, but all colors which include red or green. E.g. a person with reduced sensitivity to red will confuse blue & purple due to reduced ability to see the red in purple.

Red Stripe is an iOS & OSX app which provides a guide to the amount of red in red, orange, & purple objects by superimposing white lines over the object in the camera image.
