As a colourblind gamer myself who cannot see purple and has lived in a house that had a feature wall in every room yet I missed at least 2 of them for 5 years, made all my cars in need for speed most wanted purple thinking it was a great shade of blue, I've never ever had a problem playing video games in the 20 some years I've been playing them. Never once has color blindness stopped me from enjoying a game. So unless you're missing half the colours of the rainbow, which from what I read wasn't the case, I don't why you needed prime remastered to enjoy a game. My friend literally cannot distinguish shades of colours and he games quite often with no issue, 90% of games use symbols and colours in puzzles and I don't think any puzzle in prime requires you to use colour anyway. I'm not saying it isn't a nice feature ( which I unfortunately can't take advantage of) but what stopped you before? I've gamed on everything from the nes, N64, SNES, GameCube and much much more and never had it significantly hamper my experience so what stopped you? Again it's a nice feature but not gonna keep you from enjoying a game if it's not present, I know many people who can prove that aside from myself, it's just annoying in games that mention something being a colour, it's not like real life where it can genuinely keep you from driving a car
