Regarding "color vision deficiency", Vischeck ( http://vischeck.com/index.php3 ) says on this page: http://vischeck.com/what.shtml "Roughly 1 in 20 people have some sort of color vision deficiency.", and, on this page:  http://vischeck.com/wade0004.shtml  "Roughly 1 in 10 men are fully or partly colour blind."
