In the old days, not such a limitation, but color is now default.

Can’t read water test kits. Some, but not all, tests can be done with much more expensive meters. For ponds and aquariums, difficulty identifying some fish species, as well as health issues.

Need to be able to distinguish red and green position locating lights on aircraft, LED readouts on the instrumentation and warning lights in the cockpit. Additionally, both day and night flight require the ability to distinguish airport tower beacons and lighting from hazardous towers and other obstructions to flight. Not all regulatory agencies require perfect colorvision, and some simply restrict the times and/or places the color deficient can fly.

Being colorblind removes one of the checks and balances designed to reduce the risk of mixing up meds, and certainly slows down one’s ability to process many types of prescriptions. Colors are used in the software, labeling, product differentiation, etc. However, there don’t seem to be specific restrictions for the colorblind in this career.

I’ve seen listings that explicitly exclude the colorblind from park ranger jobs, but haven’t found an explanation for why this would be the case. Perhaps because of the overlap with firefighter requirements?

Many, but not all, countries, branches and positions. This is particularly true of special forces. Even so, guidelines don’t always get enforced. After being drafted into the army, my uncle, who was mildly colorblind, “failed” his colorvision test. However, the examiners assumed he was just trying to get out of the service, so didn’t believe him.
