How can seeing less colours possibly let you see camouflaged things
better? It\'s the other way round. Camouflage is because two things
look the same. The more things you can distinguish, the more likely you
can see it.
The patterns of distinct colours confuse perception. If you don\'t see
the colours as distinct, you won\'t be confused.
There\'s no confusion. The pattern looks similar to the surroundings.
Colour blindness won\'t help there.
There are some evolutionary advantages to red-green colorblindness.
People with red-green color blindness can differentiate between much
more shades of khaki than unaffected people. This might help detecting
camouflaged food in a green environment [1]. Color vision deficient
people have a tendency to have better night vision and, in some
situations, they can perceive variations in luminosity that
color-sighted people could not [2]. However, itâs important to note that
colorblindness can also cause difficulties in everyday life [3].
