Not 100% sure, but my step-dad is the same way. It's not that
they're colourblind to blue and green, it's more that they have a
harder time distinguishing different colours of blue and green. A
cobalt blue and a denim in the same shade look pretty much alike for
Mik (said step-dad), and a olive green and grass green in the same
shade also look alike. He also has a hard time with teals and aquas
and stuff--he can't seem to process green and blue at the same time.
He always will tell you it's one or the other. My mom always teases
him that he needs Grrranimals clothing for grown ups, since he can't
always match his suits to his ties in a pleasant way for the rest of
us. That's probably why she decided to do his shopping for
him...hehe.
