KEY TAKEAWAYS

When we are affected by colourblindness, the prevailing wisdom from those above us can often be negative - industries can be closed off. But this isn't the case. There is always a way.
When you are brought up with issues that don't affect anyone else, it forces you to work harder. it also allows you to gain a stronger insight into what makes things work.
When anyone puts their art into the world, you simply have to be brave and develop a thick skin very fast. Not everyone will love what you do, and you need to accept that.
If you are trying to get into a creative industry and you have some kind of deficiency, then remember that the more you work with an issue, the easier it becomes to adopt into your work.
