Protanopia

Red-sensitive cones are reduced, so warm reds and greens can collapse toward similar mid-tones.

Deuteranopia

#C7C8D7

Green-sensitive cones are reduced, which often compresses green and red distinctions.

Tritanopia

#CAD3D2

Blue-sensitive cones are reduced, which shifts blues and yellows toward flatter blends.
