Since this is a technology forum, I just decided to say something on the subject:
A sense of color-blindness occurs when the computer display is not receiving full color (as in RGB, or "Red Green and Blue"). At least this was the case with older CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors. If I loosened the connection on one of those older monitors, most of the time, the graphics would still be displayed, but only partial color would be seen.
For example, let's say that red and black were the same, as well as green and yellow:

Here, you can see a "color blind" Windows 3.1. You'll notice, for example, that the colors of the icons seem a bit more dull, since there's less variation in color being seen.
