Answers:
It means certain people can not see green, instead of green they see shades of grey (or lack of color), so it is not blindness(black or white) it is simply the absence of color in whatever pigment range you are deficient in!. The same as blindness is sometimes just blurriness up close or far away or both, but not necessarily absence of light or total darkness, just blurriness or lack of ability to focus!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
