Reply to comment by indy_cision in Eli5 why do traffic lights have red, yellow and green color? Why not use other colors so that even colourblind people can drive. by [deleted]

I'm colorblind and the green doesn't even look green to me. It's more like white to my eyes.

I, too, am colorblind. The new ones are definitely easier to see, but older lights suck. I legit couldn't tell the difference in color back in the 90s. Thankfully, those are few and far between now.
