Hard time seeing Red Dye Spots

[WillS]

Being color blind makes it almost impossible for me to see red dye spots. When I went to an eye doctor when I was 16, they had me do the color blindness test and I couldn't tell difference between red/green blue/purple and a few others. Today I went to a job by myself that the customer specified a red dye spot that needed removing. Showed me it, I did a red dye removal on it, and to my eye it looked gone! I sent a picture to one of my biz partners and they could still see it, along with the customer. So I treated again and after just letting the iron sit for a while several times, finally removed it.

When walking threw a home with customers, usually one of my techs will point out the red dye spots to me or I won't notice them til after cleaning and seeing it didn't remove. At first I kind of just figured oh well, but today was really nuts. I could swear on my life there was no red left on this brown carpet. Yet everyone else could see it.

Anyone else have this problem? Half of these tests I couldn't pass: http://colorvisiontesting.com/ishihara.htm

I told my biz partners, maybe I should stay in the office more and just clean rugs @ the warehouse. That might be the only solution.

A couple of our Daughters are color blind.....

and our new guy Austin....major color blind!

We do kind of laugh at him about it...but it is really hard for him to see the red.....

Any special glasses you can buy for this like when looking for urine with a UV light? lol

Maybe go to a photography shop and ask if they have any filters that will help.

Im color deficient. sometimes I can see the red spot in a pic I take but not with the naked eye.

I use to argue with friends about car colors and stuff till I found out it is me not them.

I cant see them either unless they are a really bold red. I have to get the customer to help me see them. I went to one house with about 30 small popsickle drips. It was a nightmare.
