R/G, but very slight. Basically I have trouble telling shades of red
from each other, and a lot of trouble reading red-on-black or
black-on-red text. The latter is a big problem for me, considering that
I work on server monitoring software. But really, the biggest impact it
has on my life is that my wife doesn't let me choose outfits for my
daughter to wear.

It's slight enough that I never knew I had it growing up; I discovered
it in a high-school science class when a friend presented a genetics
project on colourblindness, and I couldn't read half of the test
patterns. My friends all thought I was faking!
