Does my seeing the world in black and white, actually affect how I perceive the world?

I’m colour blind – and don’t see that great in general.

I tend to view things in Black and White – both in the literal and metaphorical sense.

I’m seeing shades of gray as I get older, but it’s still not a very “colourful” – view, as in both meanings.

I am also quite colour blind when it comes to people, literally. Because I don’t notice the difference in tone that much (and those who are sensitive to skin colour – please do not misunderstand this) I really don’t care literally what colour a person is. Religion, colour, pigmentation – it’s all the same to me – it’s about the person.

Is there a connection between my physical colour-blindness and my perceptual (for lack of a better term (Jeruba help?) one?
