Hey there, sorry to bother you even more, but I've got a follow up question. You said working with complementary colors ("opposite sides of the color wheel") might work better, so in general it's easier to distinguish for red-green colorblind people. I've always thought it was especially hard to distinguish red from green in those cases, but red and green are complementary colors. Where did I go wrong here? Is it something I misunderstood from your explanation or is it my understanding of red-green colorblindness that's just wrong?

They are complementary, but not on the opposite side of the color wheel. They are primary or secondary complements, depending on if you are in additive (light) or subtractive (paint) color-space. The exact opposite of red is cyan, and the opposite of green is magenta
