PC Gaming for the Color Blind

What BioShock 2’s Hacking Looks Like if You’re Colour Blind

What Bioshock 2 looks like to most players.

 

What Bioshock 2 looks like to those with Deuteranopia (a form of red-green color blindness)

 

What Bioshock 2 looks like to those with Protanopia (another red-green color blindness)

 

But this is what really caught my eye and why I felt a need to repost;

This is what Bioshock 2 looks like to those with Trianopia, a form of blue-yellow color blindness.

As I (apparently) have no color blindness, as I can tell a difference between all of these, having finally had a chance to see what color blind people see sets off all sorts of questions.  Like how do color blind people know the difference between red & green lights (assuming we’re not talking about stop lights where position is as important as color) for emergency recognition?  I know a lot of devices over the years have been designed with a single lamp that changes color based on state, red/green is a common state change.
