So - when someone says "I am color-blind" - and they really mean that they are unable to tell one color from another - people may not take it as a fact. Or have no way to identify with the condition.

I wonder if there are glasses or screens available that could help people with normal vision see things the same way a person with color-impairment does???

On the other hand, I wonder if there might be viewers or lenses that could add filters or something that could be worn like eye-glasses/spectacles that could add "color" to your world???

I sometimes say "I am blind" (or am asked "Are you blind?") when I don't locate/see something that is right in front of me in the refrigerator.

I don't have any suggestions for how to see something that you can't.
That would be nice, if there were lenses to let colorblind people see colors. But I think (if I'm remembering correctly) the issue is with the cones in the eyes that let you see color, so I don't think lenses would be able to fix that because the eyes and brain can't process certain wavelengths of light
