My life not knowing what colors look like

The Cut:

When I was younger, I hated when kids would tear the paper wrappers off of crayons, because I could not tell what color they were without reading it off the wrapper. In a normal box of eight colors, I can tell which one’s yellow, and that’s it. Once you get into the big box with all the shades in between, I don’t know what I’m looking at.

I’ve known a few people who are color blind but this is the best description I’ve read of what dealing with it on a day to day basis is like.
