shade from pink
I'm going to be pedantic here. What Greg refers to as colour
blindness is exceedingly rare, and is (logically) referred to as total
colour blindness.
Colour blind people do in fact see colours. The condition refers to
an inability to distinguish between two colours. Most commonly, the two
colours are red and green, and the condition occurs in varying degrees. A
rarer condition is the inability to distinguish blue and purple, or
yellow.
That's why the tests for colour blindness usually consist of
looking at a field of red spots and seeing if you can see the number
(composed of green spots) within the field. or
blue/purple/yellow.
As far as I know, there's no condition where people are unable to
distinguish between pink/black. or pink/white for that
matter.

None, hence the
name.
They see
colours as shades of gray, halftones. The ideal is black letters
on white background. Red is seen almost as black. The red
ovals stand out nicely on the absentee ballots. I would imagine
black letters on pink shading is very difficult to see for colour blind
folks.
