I find that argument strange. The normal cases of color "blindness" I
know make it difficult to *distingiush* colors. The most common case
being the red/green blindness that good chunk of the male population
enjoys. That just means that color shouldn't be the only way to encode
information. In this case, the color doesn't take anything away from
you. You are no worse off than before, e.g. you have to run additional
commands or long format to figure out what are subdirectories etc.
