Protanopia people confuse black with shades of red, dark orange and dark red, dark brown with dark green, mid-greens with some oranges, some blues with some reds and purples and dark pinks. Deuteranopia  confuse blue-greens with gray and mid-pinks, mid-reds with mid-greens, pale pinks with light grey and bright greens with yellows.
