You do realise that that colour blindness is very common in males and that most never realise that they have it? 99% of people that are colourblind see colours very similarly to you, it's just that certain colours are not QUITE as vivid, making it harder for colourblind people to tell the difference in certain circumstances.

If you can't EASILY and CLEARLY see the number 45 in the above circle, you have a form of colour blindness.
If you can't see the number 56EASILY and CLEARLY, you are colourblind.
Most colourblind people can see all the different colour dots, but they can't see the hidden number because certain colours do not appear as vividly as they should. But it is only very slight and, aside from these tests, it will never impact on their life.

Yeah... I can't see the 45, but I can see the 56 very clearly. I already knew I was colorblind, it's mild though. Yeah, there are different forms, so some people will pass some tests and fail others. I can't see the number either, but interestingly I can if I tilt my laptop screen (being an LCD it must distort the colours enough for me to see the "hidden image").But there is a HUGE amount of ignorance about colour blindness, despite being very common. I also get annoyed that colourblind people are automatically excluded from certain jobs, even if they have a very mild form. You would never get away with that if it were any other type of disability.
For example, I cannot be a commercial airline pilot simply because I have mild colourblindness. A friend of mine who has poor eyesight would be allowed to be a pilot, provided he could pass a test that demonstrated that his sight was "good enough". For colour blind people it is a simple ban... no test... no case by case.... just a blanket ban.
Also the older you get for males the harder it will be to see the 45 because almost every male will find it harder to see the 45 the older you get because when you get older Yellow is usually one of the 1st colors that are hard to see.
