Do colorblind people see fireworks?

Question

What happens, exactly? I was just thinking about this after the 4th yesterday, and wondered. Do they just see the light as whatever shade they would see it normally, or do they not see it at all? Just curious.

Answer 1

Total inability to see any colors is pretty rare most people are partially color blind (like red-green, or blue-yellow color blind). There isn't any special difference between "fireworks light" and "regular light", but if somebody was totally color blind, they would still see them in shades of black and white.
