It looks identical to both protonomaly and deuteranomoly simulations to me. I am colour-blind, but not 'totally' if you mean grey-scale only - just that certain shades merge together/look like the wrong colour.

The "grey-scale" color blindness is super rare. The "just that certain shades merge together" color blindness is what usual color blindness is.

I know, I was replying to 'if you were totally colour blind (by far the rarest sort)'.
