“[Anomolous trichromats] have still three different types of color receptors as someone with normal color vision. But one of them is slightly shifted in its peak of sensitivity and therefore you can’t see the same broad color spectrum as others.”

Actually this is not blindness to any colour but a weakness. As one of the three types is just shifted in sensitivity, it is de-senstitized in one area it is more sensitive in another. Both Deuteranomolous M cones and Protanomolous L cones are more sensitive to yellow than normal. And for this reason Deuteranomolous people have been shown to be better than normal at telling apart certain shades of khaki and I guess that Protanomaly would bring the same adavantage.
In case of tritanomaly, the S cones are less senitive to blue and more sensitive to Cyan.

Me and my mom have different blue to green ideas. I think my raincoat is light blue, she thinks it’s light green. It’s not a teal colour, to me it’s 100% blue. Do you think one of us are blue-green blind or something?

[...] There exists every nuance of color vision deficiency severity, starting from almost normal color vision up to complete color [...]

Kristy, it is reported that in some very uncommon cased you might be colorblind only in one eye. Unfortunately I haven’t any further information ready. – But maybe this way you are even able to perceive more colors than everybody else…?

Can I be color blind in only 1 eye? Colors seen through my left eye (with the right eye closed) don’t come out as they should.
