One in 12 men is affected, whereas for women it's one in 200.

There are different types of colour blindness, depending on how the person processes light.

Eyecare provider and charity Colour Blindness Awareness UK to reveal what life is like for someone with the deficiency.

Tritanopia is a rare form and is the inability to process blue light.

People with this version confuse light blues with greys, dark purples with black, mid-greens with blues and oranges with reds.

Protanopia is the inability to see red light - mixing red with green and green with blue.

And lastly, deuteranopia is when people are unable to process green light.
