Does anyone know what color blind people see when they look at a white person vs. a black person. Do they see the same colors in skin tone as a non-color blind person?

I had three bosses who were colorblind and their sons. It is a geridity condition. They said they were red-green colorblind. One of them told me that there was also a rare form that is black and white colorblind. With them, they saw color, but it was a variant of the original color. Black looked like hunter green to one of them. Light colors like red or green looked like yellow or orange. " We weren't allowed to use red or green inkpens to write with because it blended to much with the white paper." They said black and white colorblindness made everything darker and lighter shades of white, gray and black. Hope this helps.

There are more types of colorblindness... A person can be red blind, violet blind, green blind, totally color blind etc.
Look at the pic - it shows how people with color blindness see the American flag :)
