Hello,

I am a graphic designer, and yep I am colour blind, (although i am only partially so)
It is a pain sometimes but it doesn't make design impossible, any design should look good in b+w anyway, colour should be used to 'enhance' and often the simplest uses of colour are the most effective.

Webdesign isn't my forte, being primarily a print designer but i use named colour swatch books to get cmyk values that i cannot mix myself or just learn the basic mixtures and alter the hue. There is also the 'advantage' that any design i do will be fully visible by both colour normal + deficient people.

The way i see it is that if you have a passion for something nothing should stop you, there is always a way.

:)
