Mild green blindness: This is the most common form of color blindness and affects 5% of men, but is rare in women. It occurs when green cone cells do not function as they should. Yellow and green look redder, and it can be difficult to distinguish blue from purple.
Mild red color blindness: It happens when your red cone cells don't work like they should. Orange, red, and yellow look greener, and the colors are less bright. It is usually mild and does not cause problems in daily life. This form of color blindness is very rare in women and affects about 1% of men.
Red color blindness: You don't have working red cone cells. Simple red looks dark gray. Some shades of orange, yellow and green look yellow. It is very rare in women and affects about 1% of men.
Green blindness: occurs when you don't have working green cone cells. Red can be yellow-brown and green can be beige (pale yellow-gray). It affects 1% of men and is rare in women

Complete cone color blindness: It occurs when 2 of your 3 cone cells: red, green or blue, don't work. When only one type of cone is active, it is difficult to distinguish one color from another. And if one of your defective cones is blue, your vision may not be sharp. You may be nearsighted and may experience uncontrolled eye movements. This is a condition called nystagmus.
