One big effect is that society misses the innate beauty that color adds to everything in society. Color is intended to distinguish so that we can appreciate and celebrate the varietal differences. Color is not meant to be used as a reason to diminish or to destroy. Color blindness causes one to miss the full effect and the wonder of it all. "I think it just pisses God off when we walk by the color purple and not notice it." ~ Shug speaking to Celie in The Color Purple, by Alice Walker

∙ 16y agoI don't think color-blindness would have much of an effect on an individual. Most colorblind people can still see in color, but have a deficiently in one of their cones. They might confuse similar looking colors. People with this mild type usually don't even know they're colorblind until they run across a dot test in a science textbook.
Complete color blindness (ie like black and white television) is very rare but does happen. A completely colorblind person might have to have someone label the color of their clothes, but I don't think that will have a huge social impact on them.
On the positive, it's thought that people who are colorblind are better able to pick out subtle details when viewing something.
Colorblindness is also a non-medical term used in psychology. It means ignoring any information on race when dealing with people. I'm not a psychologist though.
