I mix up colors as well. I mostly cannot tell the difference between dark blue and purple, most other colors I can see fine.

I feel your pain.  I have gotten into many arguments over the color of something.

I'm colorblind too.  Paint him all green.  When I was in the Army everything they gave me was green.  You can't go wrong with green!  If it was brown, well, back to the latrine!

Those HBT fatigues that he is wearing are an Olive Green shade. I have yet to find a paint out of bottle/tin that matches that color just right... At least not since the old Humbrol Authentic and Pactra International Color lines went away...

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...
