I am red/green colourblind to the max! Great for photography, huh? This why I probably don't appreciate B&W photography. I do everything "Sesame Street" style. Which one doesn't belong? I happen to know that most women do not wear brown lipstick. If I happen to be at a stoplight in bright daylight, I'm screwed! This is why everything I do in photography is done in degrees Kelvin. Hard to do with a Jpeg in lightroom, but I kind of know where the sliders should be. I have to use rote memory for most things.

Apparently there actually can be benefits! At least I know of one instance where that is the only way we can explain this guy...

There's a 30+ year resident of Barrow Alaska with a collection of old artifacts that is literally worth millions. He'll buy almost anything, but it all started and still includes thousands of things he has picked up on the Arctic Ocean beach.

Archaeologist from the Smithsonian literally get light headed and drool as they turn green with envy looking at what he has! But one of the funny aspects of his social interaction with archaeologists and anthropologists has been the several times that he has taken groups of them for a walk on the beach to look for things. He always brings up the rear, so there is no question that anything he picks up is something they missed. Every time it works the same, at half a mile from his house, when they turn to go back, between 3 to 5 trained archaeologist might have picked up two or three items between them. Joe The Waterman (Joe Shults) will have both hands full of things.

Joe is color blind, though I don't know of exactly what type. He figures it must make things stand out in his view that just don't for normal people.

Here's a link to images of a variety of art and artifacts that Joe has.

That's nothing! When I go hunting, I can spot a deer way before my buddies do only because I do not take in as much information, therefore seeing an ear twitch or a a blink of an eye. Through the brush yet! Since I also see more contrast in wooded conditions, I also know when not to shoot.

I would suggest one of those white balance lens caps to get custom white balance for wherever you are shooting, then don't touch the WB or colors in PP. It would be a lot closer than guessing. I've also seen the camera's auto WB fooled. I guess if you constantly chaged it from sunny to cloudy to ??? depending on the situation, it would help too.
