More Quirks

Whatever, when it comes to picking out clothing or decorations you might as well be color blind.

This might also be a realistic quirk for people with normal vision but without the cultural ability to describe fine color variations. For example, ancient Celts and Norse sometimes conflated blue and gray, and people from other cultures sometimes conflated red and orange.

It's very common for animals with partial color vision or less sensitivity to colors in certain parts of the color spectrum.

Slightly shifted vision spectrum, where you lose the ability to see the top/bottom end of the color spectrum but gain a limited ability to see into the ultraviolet/infrared spectrum might be a quirk or just a feature.
